Spencer Brown, who led the Toronto Argonauts in rushing last season, was among 10 players released by the CFL club Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The six-foot, 220-pound American ran for 314 yards on 74 carries with a touchdown in nine regular-season contests in 2025. He also had 42 catches for 290 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n
Also let go were American quarterback Jarret Doege, Global defensive lineman Thiadric Hansen and Canadian linebacker Jordan Herdman-Reed, all CFL veterans.<\/p>\n
Doege appeared in 18 games last season, his first with Toronto. The six-foot-one, 210-pound Texan completed 97-of-142 passes for 905 yards with four touchdowns and seven interceptions.<\/p>\n
Doege also spent time with Edmonton (2023-24).<\/p>\n
Hansen was with Toronto the last two seasons after starting his CFL career with Winnipeg in 2019. He appeared in 69 career regular-season games, recording 22 tackles, 40 special-teams tackles, five sacks and three forced fumbles.<\/p>\n
The six-foot-two, 243-pound German was part of three Grey Cup-winning teams (2019 and ’21 with Winnipeg, 2024 with Toronto).<\/p>\n
Herdman-Reed, 31, of Winnipeg, was entering his second season with Toronto. The six-foot, 235-pound former Simon Fraser star also spent time with B.C. (2019, 2023), Saskatchewan (2021-22, 2024) and Calgary (2023) before joining the Argos in 2025.<\/p>\n
“This is a tough day and a very difficult part of the business,” said Mike Miller, Toronto’s first-year head coach. “It’s a relationship business (and) you can’t help but get close to guys and you respect all of what the players have given us.<\/p>\n
“Again, you just have to make some very hard decisions.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Spencer Brown, who led the Toronto Argonauts in rushing last season, was among 10 players released by the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":667777,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-667776","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\/667776","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=667776"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/667776\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/667777"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=667776"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=667776"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=667776"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
