RICHMOND — Edmonton, Alberta, can be surprisingly hot this time of year. Redskins safety Kenny Ladler would know.
Before this year’s training camp, Ladler spent the last two summers living in Canada — trying to restore his value by playing in the Canadian Football League with the Edmonton Eskimos. The 26-year-old had no other choice. After the Buffalo Bills released him prior to the 2015 season, Ladler went the entire year without hearing from another team.
If Ladler wanted to keep playing football — and more importantly, get back to the NFL — he knew he had to head north.
