HAMILTON — All-star American defensive back Jamal Peters has re-signed with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

The CFL club announced the two-year deal on Wednesday, keeping him in Hamilton through the 2027 season.

Peters, 28, appeared in 16 games this season, making 50 defensive tackles and catching six interceptions.

He was named to the All-CFL and East Division All-CFL teams for his efforts.

Peters joined the Tiger-Cats as a free agent in February 2024 and signed a one-year extension later that season.

Before arriving in Hamilton, he spent three seasons with the Toronto Argonauts (2021-23), helping the team win the Grey Cup in 2022.

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.

His career accolades include All-CFL and East Division All-CFL nods in 2022 and 2024.

A Mississippi State alum, Peters played 45 games over four seasons (2015-18) before signing with the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent. He also spent time with the Atlanta Falcons in 2023.
