HAMILTON – The Hamilton Tiger-Cats announced Tuesday that they have signed American offensive lineman Trevor Reid to a two-year contract.
Reid, 25, joins Hamilton after spending the 2023 and 2024 seasons with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. The six-foot-five, 312-pound left tackle appeared in 18 games in 2024, helping anchor an offensive line that allowed just 35 sacks, the fourth-fewest in the CFL, as Saskatchewan finished second in the West Division with a 9-8-1 record.
Following the 2023 NFL Draft, Reid signed with the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent. His professional stops also include time with the Atlanta Falcons (2023) and Minnesota Vikings (2025).
Reid began his collegiate career at Georgia Military College (2018–19), appearing in 21 games, before transferring to the University of Louisville (2020–22), where he played in 33 games for the Cardinals.
OTTAWA — The Ottawa REDBLACKS have signed American defensive back C.J. Reavis to a one‑year contract, the team announced Tuesday.
Reavis, who became a free agent on February 10 at noon ET, was ranked No. 23 on CFL.ca’s Top 30 pending free agents list.
“C.J. is one of the premier coverage linebackers in our league and we’re thrilled to have him in Ottawa,” said head coach and general manager Ryan Dinwiddie. “He’s a champion who has earned individual honours over the past few seasons, and we’re looking forward to having him as an important part of our defence next season.”
Reavis is coming off a Grey Cup championship season with the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 2025, appearing in 17 regular season games and two playoff games. The Chester, Virginia native recorded 61 defensive tackles, two sacks, one interception, and two forced fumbles last year.
Across five CFL seasons with Saskatchewan (2022–25), Reavis has played 55 games, totaling 209 defensive tackles, nine sacks, two interceptions, and six forced fumbles. He earned All‑CFL and West Division All‑Star honours in both 2024 and 2025.
Before turning pro, Reavis played collegiately at Virginia Tech (2014), East Mississippi Community College (2015), and Marshall (2016–17). He signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars as an undrafted free agent in 2018 and later spent time with the Atlanta Falcons (2019–20).
WINNIPEG, MB., – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has agreed to terms on a one-year contract with veteran linebacker Jovan Santos-Knox.
Santos-Knox (6-2, 240; University of Massachusetts; born: July 5, 1994, in Waterbury, Connecticut) returns to the Blue Bombers after beginning his CFL career with the club in 2017. He spent his first two seasons (2017-18) in Winnipeg, followed by Edmonton (2019), Hamilton (2021-22) and the last three seasons in Ottawa (2023-25).
Santos-Knox, 31, is a veteran of 111 regular season CFL games and has amassed 528 defensive tackles, 16 sacks, five interceptions and four forced fumbles.
Santos-Knox had an exceptional season with the Redblacks in 2025, finishing second on the club to Adarius Pickett in tackles with 80, adding an interception while being named the team’s Most Outstanding Defensive Player. He earned the same honour 2022 while with the Tiger-Cats and that year was also named to the East Division All-Star Team.
He played his college ball at UMass, where he was First-Team All-MAC in 2014 and Second-Team All-MAC in 2015, earning his first pro shot with the Blue Bombers after attending a free agent camp the club was holding in Charlotte, North Carolina.
WINNIPEG, MB., – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has signed Canadian Football League All-Star offensive tackle Jarell Broxton to a two-year contract.
Broxton (6-5, 325; Baylor University; born: March 27, 1993, in Olney, MD) joins the Blue Bombers in 2026 for what will be his sixth season in the CFL after spending the last five years with the B.C. Lions.
Broxton, 32, was widely considered the top offensive lineman available on the free agent market after a 2025 season in which he appeared in 16 games and was part of an offensive line that allowed the fewest sacks in the league and an offence that set a new CFL record by averaging 8.04 yards per play.
He was named an All-CFL and West Division All-CFL after posting a league-best Pro Football Focus grade of 81.2 in pass protection and was named B.C.’s Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman for three consecutive seasons in 2023, 2024 and 2025.
Of note, Broxton had initially signed with the Blue Bombers in February of 2020 but did not play that year due to the cancellation of the CFL season. He then joined the Lions in 2021 and suited up for 51 games over his five years with the team, all of them starts. Broxton first turned pro in 2016 as an undrafted free agent with the Baltimore Ravens and spent two seasons on the practice roster there. He was a member of the Arena Football League’s Baltimore Brigade in 2019.
He began his college days at Lackawanna College in Pennsylvania (2011-13) before transferring to Baylor (2014-15) where started 21 of 26 games at right guard, helping the Bears win the Big 12 championship in 2014. He earned All-Big 12 First Team Honours in 2015.
WINNIPEG, MB., – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has signed veteran Canadian receiver Tommy Nield to a two-year contract.
Nield (6-3, 203; McMaster University; born: April 17, 1999, in Guelph, ON) joins the Blue Bombers in 2026 for what will be his sixth season in the Canadian Football League. He spent the 2025 season with the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the previous four years with the Toronto Argonauts (2021-24).
Nield is coming off a 2025 campaign in which he posted career-best receiving totals, finishing with 42 receptions for 535 yards and five touchdowns in 13 games.
Selected by the Argonauts in the fourth round, 30th overall, of the 2021 CFL Draft, Nield appeared in 41 games over four seasons in Toronto and was part of their Grey Cup championship teams in 2022 and 2024.
Nield spent four years with the McMaster Marauders (2017-20) and was part of the school’s Yates Cup championship team in 2019, a year in which he earned Second Team OUA All-Star honours. He was also named to the OUA All-Rookie Team in 2017.
WINNIPEG, MB., – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has signed veteran defensive back Jonathan Moxey to a two year contract.
Moxey (5-9, 188; Boise State; born: May 14, 1995, in West Palm Beach, FL) joins the Blue Bombers after spending the last two years with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (2024-25) and prior four seasons with the Calgary Stampeders (2019-23).
He is a veteran of 82 Canadian Football League games, 76 of them starts, and has eight career interceptions.
Moxey is coming off a 2025 season in which he registered 40 tackles while adding three interceptions, a forced fumble and fumble recovery and nine pass knockdowns while starting at field corner for the entire season with the Ticats.
Moxey began his CFL career with the Stampeders in 2019 and played in 50 games for the club through 2023, while being named a West Division All Star in 2022.
He first turned pro as an undrafted free agent with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2017 and spent time with the Arizona Cardinals (2017-19) before coming north to the CFL. Moxey played his college ball at Boise State (2013-16), starting 38 of his 52 games, and in 2016 was named All-Mountain West second team honours.
The Colombian No. 10 vowed to lead Minnesota United to new heights as the club’s biggest-ever signing, promising to give everything to win in MLS. Signed through June 2026, Rodríguez arrives with the World Cup in mind.
On first glance, it felt unexpected and incongruous, like glimpsing a flamingo in Canada or a caribou in lower Manhattan.
The images of James Rodríguez posing in Minnesota United FC’s ice-blue ‘Convergence’ kit, itself a tribute to the North Star State’s beloved, frigid rivers, are the real deal, though – no AI fakes here.
The Colombian superstar No. 10 stood before a packed room of reporters on Friday, announcing with a smile his intention to lead the Loons to new heights as MNUFC’s newest reinforcement, and probably their biggest-ever signing.
“I am very happy about this new stage in my life,” said James in Spanish. “I’ve played at big clubs, in good clubs, but I wanted this league. I wanted to be able to play here, and well, when the chance came to be with this great club, everything was a little slow, but it happened. We made efforts on both sides.
“I’m going to do well, the team will do well too, and we’re going to win things. Until the last day, I’m going to give my all for the people who trusted in me, more than anything else.”
Big-name signing
Whether this headline-making hookup blossoms into a longer-term relationship remains to be seen. His contract runs through June, right up until the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with a club option to extend it through December and contemplate a shared future down the road.
“The way I look at this is, you go into a relationship where everything is possible, where as long as you have an honest conversation between club and player, there are so many things that can happen in between,” explained Minnesota chief soccer officer and sporting director Khaled El-Ahmad.
“We’re super excited, and we look up to the World Cup, then we have the conversation with the ability to extend it.”
Either way, James represents yet another globally-renowned luminary touching down in MLS, and he recognizes what that represents.
“I played with [Vancouver Whitecaps FC’s] Thomas [Müller] for two years at Bayern Munich; I get along very well with him and we’ve understood each other both on and off the field,” said Rodríguez when asked about the league’s constellation of stars.
“You always want to play against the best, against those who play well, against those who compete well, too, because in the world of football, when you compete and you want to succeed, you always want to be there. So, it’s going to be great to face them, and I always hope to win, to beat them all.”
Surprise destination
With his blend of quality and charisma, the vibrant playmaker has long been seen as a prime target for MLS. Yet few would have guessed this flashy icon with tropical roots, forever associated with stellar performances on the FIFA World Cup stage, would land in chilly Minnesota. Pragmatic MNUFC’s incumbent game model is ‘Stoke City on a rainy Tuesday with flashes of Liverpool,’ in the wisecracking words of El-Ahmad, based on stingy defense and muscular set pieces, most notably via the long throw-ins of Michael Boxall.
Minnesota’s chief soccer officer could not resist cracking another joke or two at the contrasts.
Asked if Rodríguez would suit up at next week’s Coachella Valley Invitational preseason tournament, where the Loons will play Sporting Kansas City, D.C. United and Charlotte FC in California’s sunny Inland Empire, El-Ahmad remarked: “We wanted to travel tomorrow, but James wanted to participate in the polar plunge,” referring to the region’s tradition of invigorating winter dips that have become a popular fundraiser for charitable causes.
“He’s never experienced swimming in ice water.”
In a more serious moment, he suggested the Real Madrid and Bayern Munich alum is, in fact, a natural fit for a Loons side keen to shift towards a more proactive style following the departure of previous head coach Eric Ramsay to West Bromwich Albion, with assistant Cameron Knowles stepping up to the hot seat.
“That addition of quality that James can bring to Minnesota, with the technical, the creativity and also the experience, is actually a pretty good blend as we’re evolving,” said El-Ahmad.
“The traits that we have will also help James. If you actually look at the Colombian national team, they’re somewhat pragmatic; they have fast players, they do want to press. And I think that addition is actually a good contribution to what we’re doing.
“We’re both very excited for him to meet the team and start training and see how that kind of evolves together.”
Colombian legend
James is also aware of the joy he can bring to the Twin Cities’ loyal soccer community, which far predates the club’s 2017 MLS expansion season.
“I hope to be able to help many people feel happy,” said the 34-year-old, who was greeted by spirited applause as he took the dais at the press conference. “I always live for this football; it’s something I love, that I do with a lot of passion, with a lot of enthusiasm.
“I see that you have a lot of passion and enthusiasm, and well, I have that too,” he added. “Without passion, we are nothing.”
Questionable: Walter Clayton Jr. (G, calf), Jaylen Wells (F, shoulder), Cedric Coward (G, shoulder).
Note: Morant is out for weeks with UCL sprain, severely impacting offense.
Denver Nuggets:
Out: Tamar Bates (F, foot surgery), Aaron Gordon (F, hamstring), Curtis Jones (G, two-way), Spencer Jones (G, concussion), Peyton Watson (G, hamstring).
Probable: Christian Braun (G, ankle), Nikola Jokic (C, ankle).
Questionable: Jamal Murray (G, hip inflammation).
Note: Jokic is expected to play, but Murray’s status is key for backcourt.
Key Player Matchups
Ja Morant (Grizzlies PG, out) vs. Jamal Murray (Nuggets PG, questionable): With Morant sidelined, Memphis’ backcourt (e.g., Cedric Coward) faces Murray (22.3 PPG recently)—Murray could dominate if available.
Jaren Jackson Jr. (Grizzlies PF) vs. Nikola Jokic (Nuggets C): Jackson (19 PPG) vs. Jokic (28.8 PPG, 12.2 RPG)—Jokic’s playmaking could overwhelm Memphis’ frontcourt.
Jaylen Wells (Grizzlies PF, questionable) vs. Aaron Gordon (Nuggets F, out): Wells (22 PPG in last matchup) vs. Nuggets’ forwards (e.g., Michael Porter Jr.)—injuries shift to Porter exploiting.
Zach Edey (Grizzlies C, out) vs. Rudy Gobert? No, Denver has Jokic; Edey out, so Clarke vs. Jokic vulnerable.

All-Time: Nuggets lead 69-41 in 110 regular-season games.

Injury Report
Sacramento Kings:
Out: De’Andre Hunter (F, iritis in left eye; re-evaluated in 10 days), Zach LaVine (G, right finger soreness), Malik Monk (G, illness), Keegan Murray (F, ankle), Isaiah Stevens (G, G League).

Out: Keyonte George (G, right ankle sprain), Elijah Harkless (G, hamstring; out ~2 weeks), Walker Kessler (C, left shoulder surgery; out for season).
Questionable: Kevin Love (F, illness).
Note: Utah’s guard depth is thin without George, but frontcourt stars like Lauri Markkanen and Jusuf Nurkic are available.
These injuries severely impact both teams, but the Kings’ absences hit their offense harder.
Key Player Matchups
DeMar DeRozan (Kings SF) vs. Lauri Markkanen (Jazz PF): DeRozan (18.7 PPG) is Sacramento’s veteran scorer, efficient mid-range. Markkanen (27.1 PPG) stretches the floor with 3s—expect a scoring battle, with Markkanen exploiting mismatches for 25+ points.

Key notes: New Orleans ended a six-game losing streak with back-to-back wins, including a defensive masterclass against Sacramento (holding them to 94 points). Offense has been inconsistent in losses.
Injury Report
Miami Heat:
Out: Norman Powell (G, back), Pelle Larsson (G/F, elbow), Tyler Herro (G, ribs), Terry Rozier (G, not with team/league-imposed leave).
Available: Bam Adebayo (C, hip tightness).
Note: The Heat’s backcourt is depleted, impacting scoring and playmaking.
New Orleans Pelicans:
Out: Dejounte Murray (G, Achilles).
Note: Murray’s absence removes a key facilitator; the Pelicans are otherwise healthy but lack depth.
These injuries favor the Heat slightly, as Pelicans’ losses are more frontcourt-oriented, but Miami’s guard absences could hinder perimeter play.
Key Player Matchups
Bam Adebayo (Heat C) vs. Derik Queen (Pelicans C): Adebayo (18.3 PPG, 9.8 RPG) anchors Miami’s interior, with strong rebounding and defense.
Queen (12.3 PPG, 7.3 RPG) is a rookie standout but inexperienced—expect Adebayo to control the paint with 15+ points and 10+ rebounds.
Andrew Wiggins (Heat SF) vs. Saddiq Bey (Pelicans SF): Wiggins (15.9 PPG) provides scoring versatility; Bey (16.6 PPG, 34.5% 3PT) is a perimeter threat.
This could be a high-scoring duel, but Wiggins’ athleticism edges out.
Davion Mitchell (Heat G) vs. Jordan Poole (Pelicans SG): Mitchell (7.1 APG) steps up with guards out; Poole (15.6 PPG) is streaky.
Mitchell’s defense could limit Poole under 15 points.
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (Heat SF) vs. Zion Williamson (Pelicans PF): Jaquez (12.5 PPG) offers energy; Williamson (21.5 PPG, 58.2% FG) dominates inside.
Williamson exploits mismatches for 20+ points if active.
Series History
All-Time: Heat lead 29-21 in 50 regular-season games.
