Hamilton Tiger-Cats Sign Veteran Cfl Middle Linebacker Wynton Mcmanis

Wynton McManis, a Grey Cup champion with 62 tackles last season, joins Hamilton after Toronto release to replace Devin Veresuk, who signed with the NFL's Colts.

  • On Wednesday, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats signed veteran middle linebacker Wynton McManis after his release by the Toronto Argonauts, the Canadian Press reported Feb. 4, 2026.
  • Because McManis lives in Toronto and was released, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats signed him after Canadian Devin Veresuk signed with the NFL's Indianapolis Colts, hitting the market early on Tuesday.
  • The veteran's résumé includes 62 tackles, four sacks, two interceptions, and a forced fumble in 15 games last season, with a career total of 390 tackles, 16 sacks, and three defensive touchdowns in CFL.
  • Hamilton head coach Scott Milanovich said the signing is exciting after their 11-7 season and East final loss. The team calls McManis 'one of the premier defenders in our league.'
  • Looking toward the Grey Cup, the '26 game in Calgary, McManis reunites with Bo Levi Mitchell, and Labour Day will feature him facing his former team at Hamilton Stadium.
