The Hamilton Tiger-Cats failed to qualify for the postseason in 2024 for the first time since 2017 but enter head coach Scott Milanovich’s second offseason with optimism.

After an 0-5 start and losing nine of the team’s first 11 games, the Ticats ended the season as one of the league’s most dangerous teams. Veteran quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell led a high-flying offence, becoming the first CFL passer to throw for over 5,000 yards since 2018 and set a new single-season franchise record in the process.

There is work to be done to keep Hamilton’s momentum going in 2025 as the team must weigh decisions regarding 18 pending free agents.
