Ti-cats signed CB Jamal Peters for 2 years at $355k, Dan Ralph is reporting.

Highest paid American CB.

Dammmn, nobodies holding the line, the price for Nichols and Holmie just went up.

Dammmn, nobodies holding the line, the price for Nichols and Holmie just went up.

I don't know. That's only $175K per season and is far from what Ford got as a Canadian starter. Regardless, I think we can expect Holm and Nichols to see something in the same ball park. I'm not sure Peters deal influenced that thought but maybe.

Anyone know what Peters earned in 2025?

9) Jamal Peters, Hamilton Tiger-Cats (A)

Hard money: $144,750
Maximum value: $149,750

The Ticats kept their prized lockdown cornerback in town by way of an in-season extension last year, a deal which included a $42,500 signing bonus for the the East Division all-star. Peters can earn a bonus of $2,000 if he improves to All-CFL status in 2025 and another $3,000 if he wins a major league award.

Kramdi was 2 spots above him as the Bombers highest paid DB.

7) Redha Kramdi, Winnipeg Blue Bombers (N)

Hard money: $145,000
Maximum value: $151,000

Winnipeg's Canadian strong-side linebacker is paid like a ratio breaker and has $20,604 in guaranteed salary in the final year of his current. Kramdi can also take home up to $6,000 in all-star and award incentives – something he's long overdue to cash in on as one of the league's most underrated players.

CFL closes investigation into alleged Argonauts tampering with Riders' Corey Mace.

Didn't even know there was one!  Boy, that must have Pinball steaming to let Mace walk and then Dinwiddie bails and leaves you with nothing...

Good.  I hope TOR is in the gutter again.

The article speculates it might have had something to do with John Murphy who was fired shortly afterward, but that seems like a stretch.  JC Abbott does a good job of reviewing some of the bigger tampering scandals from the past later in that article.
