The Ottawa Redblacks had another disappointing season in 2022, finishing at the bottom of the East Division standings with a 4-14 record.
New general manager Shawn Burke wasted no time putting his stamp on the team this past winter when he signed almost two dozen free agents, including franchise quarterback Jeremiah Masoli. With a search for a new head coach currently underway, he’ll have another opportunity to redefine his team this off-season as they look to show some much-needed signs of improvement in 2023.
Below is every player in Ottawa who is currently slated to reach free agency in February 2023 unless they are signed to an extension before then.
