  "account": "The Saskatchewan Roughriders have reacquired veteran kicker Brett Lauther from the Ottawa Redblacks in a trade deal. Lauther, 35, was part of the Roughriders' roster last year when they won the Grey Cup. He joined Ottawa in the off-season after eight seasons with the Roughriders. Lauther has been impressive this season, making 32 successful field-goal attempts out of 34, including all three from beyond 50 yards. The native of Truro, Nova Scotia, is being sent back in exchange for a fifth-round pick in the 2027 CFL draft. The Roughriders are currently 8-6, tied for second in the West Division, while Ottawa has lost all 14 games so far and is at the bottom of the East Division. Both teams will be playing on Friday, with Ottawa hosting Hamilton and Saskatchewan welcoming Calgary.",
