Football (CFL)

After reaching the CFL playoffs last year for the first time since 2018, the Ottawa Redblacks are focused on taking the next step.

NFL players are one step closer to participating in the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Games. League owners will discuss a resolution next week to allow NFL players to play in the flag football competition at the '28 Games.

GUELPH — Cameron Judge wasn't looking for a change, but he is thankful his new football home is a familiar one. The veteran linebacker is preparing for his second stint with Toronto after being traded Jan.

TORONTO — A modified roughing-the-passer penalty will be among six minor rules adjustments implemented by the CFL this season. The league announced Thursday the modifications have been approved by the CFL's board of governors.

WINNIPEG — American quarterback Shea Patterson was among seven players released Wednesday by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Patterson, 28, signed with Winnipeg following two seasons with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

HAMILTON — A premature end to a stellar rookie campaign is fuelling Shemar Bridges' preparation for the 2025 CFL season.

KAMLOOPS — James Butler always knew a return to the B.C. Lions was possible. The CFL veteran just didn't anticipate the way he'd find his way back. After two years with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Butler was released in January after a difficult season.

WINNIPEG — If it’s good for Navy SEALs, it’s good for Brady Oliveira. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers star running back added a new element to his off-season training that’s used by the elite U.S. special operations force.

EDMONTON — For much of three seasons Tre Ford stood on the Edmonton Elks sidelines listening to fans chant: "We want Tre, we want Tre." No more chanting.

GUELPH — Wynton McManis finds himself in somewhat unfamiliar surroundings as he returns for a fourth season with the Toronto Argonauts. The veteran middle linebacker will anchor a new-look Argos defence this season.
