Overview
- The team announced the two-year agreement on Wednesday, keeping the 28-year-old cornerback in Hamilton through 2027 after he had been set to reach free agency in February.
- Peters appeared in 16 games this season with 50 defensive tackles and six interceptions, earning All-CFL and East Division All-CFL honours.
- A Winnipeg Sun report citing an anonymous league source says the deal includes $355,000 guaranteed, which would make him the CFL’s highest-paid American defensive back, though the club did not release terms.
- Peters said he chose to stay because the organization treats his family well and Hamilton feels like home.
- Head coach Scott Milanovich praised Peters as a difference-maker who elevates the defence, and the veteran’s résumé includes a 2022 Grey Cup with Toronto and brief NFL stints.
