Despite having an 8-10 record at the end of the season and losing to the Grey Cup winners Montreal Alouettes in the East Semi-Finals, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats managed to qualify for the 2023 CFL playoffs. There are currently 36 players on the team who could become free agents in the offseason.
The complete list of Tiger-Cats players who will be available for free agency is provided below, sorted by position and marked as American (A), National (N), or Global (G). We also analyze the Hamilton Tiger-Cats’ top five players who will be available for free agency.
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats struggled with injuries that led to instability at quarterback during the previous season. Those injuries ended Bo Levi Mitchell’s first season as the starting quarterback, and when he did play, it was not pretty. The team used three different starters during the season, although backup Taylor Powell looked promising when he stepped in.
With an 8-8 record, the Tiger-Cats managed to rally from losing their opening three games to.500. Hamilton made the playoffs despite dropping its last two games by a combined five points.
The Tiger-Cats’ playoff game against the eventual Grey Cup champion Montreal Alouettes was a difficult way to end the season as the Alouettes defeated the Tiger-Cats 27-12.
Losing three of its top five tacklers from the previous season dealt a serious blow to the defense. By securing a new contract for defensive back Stavros Katsantonis, Hamilton was able to bring back the team’s best pass coverage defender.
The Tiger-Cats acquired three former Toronto Argonauts in Jamal Peters, a cornerback, and Dewayne Hendrix, a defensive lineman, in exchange for more defensive talent. The tandem of Peters and Kaysantonis ought to make it difficult for offenses to pass on Hamiton.
The quarterback position is a source of uncertainty heading into the season, with Mitchell and Powell at the top of the depth chart. How long will Mitchell play before Powell takes over? Mitchell doesn’t seem to be fully recovered going into the season.
Whatever the quarterback, Hamilton has an abundance of options for weapons.
