On December 20, 2016, it was announced that John Tucker would be returning to the Cannons as the team's offensive coordinator in 2017. Tucker was fired mid-season by the expansion team Atlanta Blaze after a 3-7 start.
On June 27, the 3-6 Cannons traded away Will Manny and Joe LoCascio to the New York Lizards for Dave Lawson and Chris LaPierre. On July 14, the Cannons announced that neither Lawson nor LaPierre would suit up for the team that season. Dave Lawson informed team officials that he would be retiring from the league while Chris LaPierre decided not to report to the team. The Cannons did not win another game on the year, finishing a league and franchise-worst 3-11.
