The B.C. Lions have signed American offensive lineman Isiah Cage.

The 32-year-old played 43 regular-season games with the Toronto Argonauts from 2018 to 2024, helping the team win two Grey Cups.

The native of Chicago, Ill. most recently started at left tackle for the Argonauts in 2024. He became a free agent in February 2025 and did not play in the CFL all that year.

The six-foot-four, 315-pound blocker started his professional career with the Indianapolis Colts in 2016 and spent his entire rookie season on injured reserve.

Cage played collegiately at the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire.

Jarell Broxton, B.C.’s incumbent starter at left tackle, recently agreed to terms on a two-year contract with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

The B.C. Lions finished second in the West Division standings in 2025 with an 11-7 record and beat the Calgary Stampeders in the West Semi-Final before losing the West Final to the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Nathan Rourke threw for 5,290 yards, 31 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions over 16 regular-season starts, posting an 11-5 record. He was also named the CFL’s Most Outstanding Player.

The Lions ranked first in net offence, fourth in net defence, and sixth with a turnover differential of minus-four. James Butler rushed for 1,213 yards, Keon Hatcher led the CFL with 1,688 receiving yards, and Micah Awe led the league with 117 tackles. B.C. finished third in attendance with average crowds of 27,124, which was a 0.9 percent increase from the previous year.
