Rayam in the 2022 Supplemental Draft and trading their seventh-round pick to the Roughriders in exchange for James Smith.[5][6] However, the team swapped their first-round pick and acquired additional third-round picks and sixth-round picks after trading Bo Levi Mitchell to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.[7]
