OTTAWA — The Ottawa REDBLACKS have signed Global linebacker Tyron Vrede to a one-year contract extension, the team announced on Monday. The move comes on the same day that the team announced the signing of wide receiver Dominique Rhymes.
Vrede, 27, has spent all three seasons of his CFL career with the REDBLACKS, and the Amsterdam native was off to a terrific start to the 2023 campaign, before suffering a season-ending injury.
