Houston Gamblers and Dc Defenders Complete Player Trade

Dallas Renegades News Release
Houston, TX - The Houston Gamblers announced today that the team has acquired offensive lineman Gottleib Ayedze from the DC Defenders in exchange for wide receiver Braylon Sanders.
Gottlieb Ayedze was selected by the DC Defenders with the fourth overall pick in the 2024 of the UFL College Draft. At the time of the draft, Ayedze had already signed with the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent following the 2024 NFL Draft, so he did not immediately join the Defenders. He later spent time with the Las Vegas Raiders before returning to the UFL. In January 2026, Ayedze was officially allocated to the Defenders' roster, allowing the team to retain his rights from the earlier draft and add him to their offensive line as part of the league's player allocation process.
The Gamblers continue preparations for the 2026 United Football League season.
