ROUGHRIDERS ACQUIRE KICKER BRETT LAUTHER IN TRADE WITH REDBLACKS

The Saskatchewan Roughriders have acquired National kicker Brett Lauther in a trade with the Ottawa REDBLACKS. In exchange, the Roughriders have sent their fifth-round selection in the 2027 CFL Draft to Ottawa.

Lauther (6’0-195) returns to the Green and White after appearing in 12 games with the Ottawa REDBLACKS. The native of Truro, Nova Scotia is 32 of 34 on field goals (94.1%) in 2026, including a season-high 56 yarder against the Stampeders in Week 17. Lauther is three for three on field goals over 50 yards this season and 22 of 23 on converts.

Prior to signing with Ottawa, Lauther spent eight seasons with the Roughriders, suiting up for 114 regular season games and eight post-season appearances, including the Grey Cup Championship in 2025. Lauther went 10-for-10 on game-winning field-goal attempts as Rider (tied for second at 10 with McCallum) including the capper in the 2019 Labour Day Classic — in which he memorably went on to celebrate in Pil Country — and an overtime game-winner against Calgary in the 2021 Western Semi-Final.

All told, Lauther went 295-for-360 on field goals as a Roughrider. His accuracy rate (81.9 per cent) is the best in team history for anyone with 100-plus field goal attempts.

In addition to field goals, Lauther has registered 433 career kickoffs for 27,292 yards – a 63-yard average – and a career long of 95 yards.
