OTTAWA LOCKS UP DRU BROWN

OTTAWA

Dru Brown won’t be hitting CFL free agency.

The Ottawa Redblacks signed the American quarterback to a two-year deal Wednesday. The CFL club acquired Brown’s rights last week from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers for a 2024 fifth-round draft pick.

Brown was slated to become a CFL free agent Feb. 13.

Brown spent three seasons with Winnipeg and won both of his starts last season after starter Zach Collaros was injured. The 26-year-old completed 62-of-89 passes in 2023 for 983 yards with nine TDs and no interceptions.

“Dru is a productive quarterback who has demonstrated when previously given the opportunity to be an excellent decision maker who can lead a team on the field,” Ottawa GM Shawn Burke said in a statement. “We believe he will fit in well in our quarterbacks room and we’re excited that he wants to take the next step in his career as a Redblack.”

I am disgusted by everything you ever write. Your hate for the riders colors your every comment. You and Chris Jones deserve each other. I would so much rather have a head coach with some integrity. Something your hero clearly lacks.
