Winnipeg Blue Bombers reacquire quarterback Dru Brown in trade

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have reacquired quarterback Dru Brown in a trade with the Ottawa RedBlacks. In exchange, the Bombers sent the RedBlacks a first-round draft pick for the 2025 season and a conditional second-round pick in 2028. The RedBlacks previously acquired Brown in 2024 but lost him to free agency after he did not play in their first two games of the 2026 season. Brown had previously played for the Bombers from 2021 to 2023, setting a CFL record for most touchdown passes without an interception. Now returning to Winnipeg, Brown is expected to serve as backup quarterback to Zach Collaros. The Bombers currently have a 1-1 record and will face the undefeated Edmonton Elks later in the week.
