ONE LESS QB, ONE MORE RECEIVER
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are taking a novel approach to helping address their injury woes at receiver. The CFL club is dressing just two quarterbacks.
Hamilton starter Jeremiah Masoli and backup Dane Evans will suit up Saturday when the Ticats host the Lions at Tim Hortons Field. Bryant Moniz is Hamilton’s third quarterback, but he’s been moved to the practice roster, where players earn a minimum of $750 a week plus housing or housing allowance. It is significantly less than what the No. 3 quarterback would make on the active roster, thus creating space under the salary cap.
Hamilton coach June Jones said Friday the club hopes to use that money to sign another receiver with veterans Shamawd Chambers (knee), Chris Williams (torn Achilles) and Jalen Saunders (knee) all sidelined with season-ending injuries.
