SAD NEWS: Travis Green, the coach of the Ottawa Senators, has confirmed that the team will be without its most seasoned player.
The CFL’s second-oldest quarterback, Jeremiah Masoli, is not considering retirement just because he is set to play what may be his final game wearing an Ottawa Redblacks jersey.
The 36-year-old Californian, who hasn’t played anything approaching a complete season since 2018 due to injuries, has made only one choice about his future, even though his main emphasis is on finding a way to defeat the Montreal Alouettes on Monday afternoon at Percival Molson Stadium.
Masoli remarked, “I obviously still want to play.” “I know I still want to continue in that regard. I really feel like I have a lot more to give. We’ll see how things turn out.
The truth is that Masoli’s throwing arm is still as strong as ever after he recovered from a variety of lower-body ailments during the previous six months.
Masoli, who is three days older than Zach Collaros of Winnipeg and the only signal caller younger than Trevor Harris, 38, in the league, said, “It was a hard one, to get back to being healthy, but I keep saying it — I feel great, physically.” “I think it’s the best I’ve felt in a while.”

The Redblacks’ quarterback situation is only certain to feature fourth-stringer Tyrie Adams, who inked a one-year agreement last week, and Dru Brown, who is anticipated to recover from an ankle ailment to play against the Toronto Argos next week.
Dustin Crum and Masoli are both in the last season of their contracts.
Masoli took over for Brown early in the second half of a 37-21 defeat to the Ticats in his old Hamilton stomping grounds a month ago, and while his performance in a Week 11 triumph against Calgary (27-of-35 for 254 yards and a score, no fumbles) was praised, things have not gone so smoothly since.
While the injury-plagued Redblacks have seen their losing skid lengthen to a season-high three games, he has thrown four touchdown passes and six interceptions in just under ten quarters of action.
