OTTAWA \u2014 The Ottawa REDBLACKS announced on Monday that the football club has extended American offensive lineman Dino Boyd, who was the club\u2019s nominee for Most Outstanding Lineman this past season. Boyd was scheduled to become a free agent in February.<\/p>\n
\u201cDino comes to play every day and sets the tone with his physicality and professionalism,\u201d said Ryan Dinwiddie, head coach and general manager of the Ottawa REDBLACKS. \u201cHe embodies the culture we\u2019re building here, he works hard, he competes, and he holds everyone around him to a high standard. He\u2019s a leader on our offensive line and in our locker room and we\u2019re thrilled to welcome him back to Ottawa this season.\u201d<\/p>\n
RELATED Boyd, 29, started all 18 games at left tackle for the REDBLACKS in 2025. The six-foot-four, 300-pound native of Newark, New Jersey, has suited up in 64 games over his five seasons in the Canadian Football League with the REDBLACKS (2021-25) and has been a starter in the nation\u2019s capital since the 2022 season.<\/p>\n The University of Cincinnati product also spent time in the CFL with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (2021) before heading to Ottawa later that season. The former Bearcat offensive lineman originally signed with the NFL\u2019s Kansas City Chiefs (2019) as an undrafted free agent and also spent time with the Cincinnati Bengals (2019) and Chicago Bears (2019-20).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OTTAWA \u2014 The Ottawa REDBLACKS announced on Monday that the football club has extended American offensive lineman Dino…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":347507,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-347506","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-canadian-football-league","tag-canadianfootballleague","tag-cfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/347506","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=347506"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/347506\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/347507"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=347506"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=347506"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=347506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
