OTTAWA — The Ottawa Redblacks have actually gotten the rights to Canadian linebacker Kevin Francis from the Edmonton Elks for a fourth-round choice in the 2024 CFL draft.
The 30-year-old Francis was on the Elks’ suspended list.
The Elks signed Francis on Feb. 14, however after the deal was made the special-teams ace openly specified he wasn’t happy with the agreement terms and didn’t report to camp.
Francis, from Toronto, had a CFL-leading 22 special-teams takes on with the B.C. Lions in 2022.
