Tragic news: A crucial player’s retirement was announced by the Hamilton Tigers Cats head coach because he left his contract to sign a new one.
On Tuesday, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats re-signed receiver Terry Godwin II and added defensive back Jamal Peters, a free agent, as well as receiver Luther Hakunavanhu.
On the first day of CFL free agency, moves were made. Whereas Hakunavanhu is Canadian, Peters and Godwin are Americans.
After spending three seasons with Toronto (2021–2023), Peters, 27, has joined the Ticats. In 2022, the six-foot-two, 220-pound Peters was a CFL all-star and contributed to the Argonauts’ Grey Cup victory.
During the previous season, Peters started 13 games and totaled 32 tackles (two for loss), four interceptions, and two forced fumbles. In his 36 career regular-season games, Peters has amassed 120 tackles—six of them for loss—one sack, eleven interceptions, two forced fumbles, and one defensive touchdown.

During his 18 regular season and 1 postseason game with Hamilton last season, the 27-year-old Godwin started 19 games and recorded 68 receptions for 864 yards and 6 touchdowns.
