The Lions and Redblacks trade involving Canadian defensive lineman Maxx Forde has been voided.

The Maxx Forde trade has been voided. Forde failed his physical with #RedBlacks (shoulder). Will be returned to #BCLions. @CFLonTSN @TSN1040 — Farhan Lalji (@FarhanLaljiTSN) September 10, 2018

In exchange for Forde, the Lions were supposed to receive a sixth-round pick in 2019 and a player from Ottawa’s negotiation list. But all the pieces go back to the original places.

Drafted by the Lions in the seventh round (58th overall) in 2015, Forde suited up for all 18 games for BC last season, recording eight defensive tackles, one sack and two forced fumbles.

The six-foot-five, 280-pound Forde appeared in 46 games at Idaho during his university playing career.
