Hamilton Tiger-Cats

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats conclude training camp for 2026 by once again facing the Toronto Argonauts.

Hamilton has made the decision to extend the contract of WR1 Kenny Lawler. Lawler's extension includes a three-year commitment that keeps Lawler with Hamilton through the 2028 season, and a boost in pay equating to $1 million.

While the Hamilton Tiger-Cats started the 2026 pre-season schedule with a 20-10 loss to the Toronto Argonauts, the real value of the game was the opportunity it provided for head coach Scott Milanovich and his staff to evaluate their roster.

After a long off-season, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats are starting their push for a Grey Cup this week as they play their first pre-season game of 2026 against the Toronto Argonauts.

Now, American running back Nahree Biggins will get a chance, according to a Tiger-Cats press release.

That is a perfect description of the most recent offensive lineman added to the Tiger-Cats roster, Temi Ajirotutu.

The next player to step into the competition for the Sam position is American defensive back Gavin Gibson, who was recently signed by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, according to a team press release.

However, Shiltz is back in the CFL News cycle by choosing to sign a 1-day contract with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats to officially end his career as a Hamilton Tiger-Cat.

The latest additions to the Tiger-Cats roster are 2026 CFL Global draft pick Mitch McCarthy, who will compete as a punter, and American linebacker Jordan Crook, who is expected to add depth to the linebacker unit.
