Kyries Hebert (/ˈkaɪrɪs ˈeɪbɛr/ KY-riss AI-bair; born October 9, 1980) is an American former professional football player who was a linebacker and safety.
Hebert then moved up north to Canada where he played in the 2004 and 2005 seasons with the Ottawa Renegades of the Canadian Football League (CFL).
In December 2005, Hebert signed a controversial five-year contract with Ottawa that would have made him one of the highest paid defensive players in the CFL.
However, the Ottawa organization folded, and it appeared that Hebert was going to become a free agent and eligible to pursue the NFL.
[1] After appealing the claim with the CFL Players Association, Hebert agreed to a settlement contract for two years with Winnipeg.
Hebert received the maximum fine for the hit while Cornish never fully regained his health, forcing him to retire at the end of the 2015 season due to the injury.
On August 15, 2017, Hebert again received the maximum fine for an illegal hit on Argos QB, Cody Fajardo.
After the Alouettes made a series of additions on defensive at the start of 2018 free agency Hebert, age 37 at the time, requested his release; which was granted by the Als on February 16, 2018.
