TORONTO - The CFL fined the Ottawa Redblacks $18,002 on Friday for violating the league's salary cap last season.
The fine equals the amount by which the team exceeded the cap of $6,062,365.
The violation doesn't impact the selection order for the 2026 CFL draft Tuesday night.

The league announced Edmonton and Winnipeg will hold the 19th and 20th overall selections - both coming in the second round - as a result of the national snaps reward system.
