CFL fines Ottawa Redblacks $18,002 for violating 2025 salary cap
TORONTO — The CFL fined the Ottawa Redblacks $18,002 on Friday for violating the league’s salary cap last season.
The fine equals the amount by which the team exceeded the cap of $6,062,365.
The violation doesn’t impact the selection order for the 2026 CFL draft Tuesday night.
Ottawa is scheduled to make the first selection.
The league announced Edmonton and Winnipeg will hold the 19th and 20th overall selections — both coming in the second round — as a result of the national snaps reward system.
