Offseason NFL rosters feature 84 men who played at
Alabama
, more than from any other college program. But the Canadian Football League, which starts the fifth week of its 2025 season on Thursday night, features only one Crimson Tide alumnus – Winnipeg Blue Bombers offensive tackle Kendall Randolph.
The CFL’s nine teams also don’t appear to have much hope of adding to Alabama’s representation beyond the former Bob Jones High School standout.
For the first time in league history, each CFL team released its complete negotiation list on Wednesday, and no Crimson Tide alumni appear.
Each CFL team has a negotiation list of as many as 45 players for whom it holds the exclusive CFL negotiating rights. The players on the list can be traded or dropped at any time.
In the past, each team was required to release 10 names from its list twice every season in September and December.
Players from Alabama high schools and colleges on the CFL negotiation lists released on Wednesday included:
British Columbia Lions

Quarterback Chris Oladokun (Samford
), who is on the Kansas City Chiefs roster.

Wide receiver Jamaal Pritchett (Jackson,South Alabama
