General manager Ryan Rigmaiden said Oladokun can compete for the starting job as the Lions also added his brother and three other Americans.
- On Monday, the B.C. Lions signed former Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Chris Oladokun to their practice roster, concluding his tenure in the National Football League.

- Lions general manager Ryan Rigmaiden revealed the club had targeted Oladokun for years, previously attempting to acquire him after his Pittsburgh release. "We felt like this was the best decision for the club," Rigmaiden said.
- Alongside the quarterback signing, the Lions added defensive back Jordan Oladokun, defensive back Thomas Graham, and defensive lineman T.J. Burke, while releasing quarterback Chase Brice.
- Rigmaiden suggested Oladokun now has a strong opportunity to compete for a starting role in the Canadian Football League, positioning him for expanded responsibilities beyond his practice-squad tenure.
