2023 Ottawa Redblacks season

CFL team season

The 2023 Ottawa Redblacks season was the ninth season for the team in the Canadian Football League. The Redblacks were eliminated from playoff contention following their week 18 loss to the Montreal Alouettes.[1] This was the fourth straight season that the Redblacks had failed to qualify for the post-season.

The 2023 CFL season was the second season for Shawn Burke as general manager.[2] After Bob Dyce served as the interim head coach to end the 2022 season, this was his first full season as the team's head coach.[3][4]

Offseason

CFL Global Draft

The 2023 CFL Global Draft took place on May 2, 2023.[5] The Redblacks had the first selection in both rounds.[6]

CFL National Draft

The 2023 CFL Draft took place on May 2, 2023.[7] The Redblacks had ten selections in the eight-round draft.[8] The team had the first selection in each round of the draft after finishing last in the 2022 league standings (losing the tie-breaker to the Edmonton Elks), not including traded picks.[9] This was the first time that Ottawa selected first overall since the 2015 CFL Draft.

Notably, the team acquired additional second-round and third-round selections after trading the rights to Woodly Appolon to the Edmonton Elks and Terry Williams to the BC Lions.[10][11] The Redblacks also traded their fourth-round pick to the Edmonton Elks in exchange for Nick Arbuckle.[12] The team also upgraded their eighth-round selection to another seventh-round selection after trading Llevi Noel to the Elks.[13]
