OTTAWA ACQUIRES QB DRU BROWN FROM WINNIPEG
OTTAWA – The Ottawa REDBLACKS have acquired the rights to pending free agent quarterback Dru Brown from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
In exchange, Ottawa will send a fifth round selection in this year’s CFL Draft to the Bombers. With the deal, the REDBLACKS have exclusive negotiating rights with the 26-year-old Californian before CFL Free Agency officially opens on February 13.
The Oklahoma State product has spent all three of his CFL seasons in Winnipeg. The American pivot took a big step forward in his career in 2023 while filling in for an injured Zach Collaros. While dressing for all 18 games, Brown won both of his starts last season on his way to completing 62 of 89 passes for 983 yards, nine touchdowns and no interceptions.

The Ottawa REDBLACKS on paper are looking soooooo much better than the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Mr. Bobby Dyce will have his team well prepared to win in 2024. Look 4 a BC Lions Grey Cup matchup with the REDBLACKS bext fall.
Any smart GM would have acquired Browns rights instead of trying to get a year out of an aging Trevor Harris coming off a major injury. Harris probably won’t survive the year again with Odays poor oline track building record
