(Edmonton) The Edmonton Eskimos have signed free agent punter/kicker Eric Wilbur, the club announced today.

In 2010, Wilbur played in 13 games for Hamilton where he handled punting and kickoff duties. With the Tiger-Cats, the former University of Florida star registered 85 punts for 3651 yards (43 yd avg; longest: 69 yds). Wilbur was released prior to the start of the 2011 season.
