Blue Bombers agree to trade with Ottawa

WINNIPEG, MB., September 2, 2026 – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has acquired the negotiating rights to American quarterback Ty Pennington (Northern Arizona) from the Ottawa RedBlacks, in exchange for American linebacker Kyahva Tezino.

Tezino was originally added to the club's practice roster on August 24, 2026.

Haha I got Tezino's signature at the fanfest after him being there for only 5 days.

Wonder what the thinking is here, maybe no more room for LB's and they dealt Tezino for whatever they could get in return.  Seems to me Ottawa should be holding onto all QB options.

I don't get the thought here about this trade. It does clear a spot on the PR so maybe there is another player that will be added shortly.

Neg list players come and go and Pennington may never come to the CFL.

Who did we drop from the neg list to add Pennington?

I don't follow neg. list signings at all because they usually don't amount to anything, but the Bombers added Eli Pancol to their neg list recently, a 6'2" 205 lb. former Duke receiver that runs a 4.33/40.

The motivation could have actually been the reverse on this one. Tenzio was pretty good UFL player and he might have figured out he was never going to play real snaps in Winnipeg anytime soon. Could see a guy like that seeing if he could go somewhere where he could play and Winnipeg then just got something at least.

Yeah, I got his signature as well. I joked with him that he wasn't in the team picture.

Maybe there will be a part 2 to this trade before the trade deadline. Help the REDBLACKS out with this trade in order to get 1st dibs of any player Ottawa is going to unload.

Could be they offered him a PR spot and he turned it down, so they decided to trade to get something of value for him.
