<\/p>\nPeters, 28, appeared in 16 games this season with Hamilton, registering 50 defensive tackles and six interceptions. He was named a CFL all-star for the second time. Peters joined the Ticats as a free agent in February 2024 and signed a one-year extension later that season. <\/p>\n
\t<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I signed here in 2024, the organization welcomed me with open arms, and I have loved it here since,\u201d said Peters in a statement. \u201cThey treat my family well. My wife and I just had a kid and they\u2019re just a great family organization. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe have unfinished business in 2026 and for those reasons, it was obvious for me to re-sign.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before arriving in Hamilton, he spent three seasons with the Toronto Argonauts (2021-23), helping the team win the Grey Cup in 2022. <\/p>\n
Over five CFL seasons and 66 regular-season games, he has recorded 208 defensive tackles, four special teams tackles, 21 interceptions, two forced fumbles and one quarterback sack. <\/p>\n
\u201cJamal is a difference-maker and has been a premier defensive back in our league,\u201d said Tiger-Cats head coach Scott Milanovich. \u201cHis combination of size, playmaking ability, and competitiveness elevates our entire defence. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re extremely excited to keep Jamal in the black and gold for him and his family to continue their journey here in Hamilton.\u201d<\/p>\n
A Mississippi State alum, Peters played 45 games over four seasons (2015-18) before signing with the NFL\u2019s Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent. He also spent time with the Atlanta Falcons in 2023. <\/p>\n
Peters said that Hamilton itself influenced his decision to stay with the Ticats.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe city kind of reminds me of my hometown of Bassfield, Mississippi,\u201d said Peters. \u201cIt\u2019s very similar to Hamilton, so I just wanted to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n
