The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have secured one of their key offensive weapons for the next two seasons. Wide receiver Tim White, a free agent, has re-signed with the team on a two-year contract, as reported by TSN Football Insider Dave Naylor.
The 29-year-old White has been a standout performer for the Tiger-Cats since joining the team in 2021. Known for his explosive speed and reliable hands, White has consistently been a top target in Hamilton’s aerial attack. His return is seen as a crucial move for the Tiger-Cats as they aim to solidify their receiving corps and enhance their offensive potency for the upcoming CFL seasons.
White’s impact on the field has been significant. Over his CFL career, he has amassed over 3,000 receiving yards and 20 touchdowns, becoming a favorite target for Hamilton’s quarterbacks. His versatility allows him to play multiple roles in the offense, including deep threat and slot receiver, making him a valuable asset for head coach Orlondo Steinauer.
In the 2023 season, White recorded 1,150 receiving yards and 8 touchdowns, showcasing his ability to make big plays and contribute consistently. His chemistry with the Tiger-Cats’ quarterbacks, particularly with veteran Bo Levi Mitchell, has been a highlight of Hamilton’s offensive strategy.
The decision to re-sign White reflects the Tiger-Cats’ commitment to retaining their core players and building a competitive roster. General Manager Drew Allemang emphasized White’s importance to the team’s success: “Tim has been a pivotal part of our offense. His work ethic, leadership, and playmaking abilities make him a cornerstone of our receiving unit. We are thrilled to have him back for two more seasons.”
White, for his part, expressed enthusiasm about continuing his career in Hamilton. “I’m excited to be back with the Tiger-Cats. This team and city have embraced me, and I’m looking forward to contributing to our goal of winning a Grey Cup,” he said in a statement.
With White’s re-signing, the Tiger-Cats have solidified a key position heading into the new season. His presence is expected to complement emerging talents and veteran players alike, creating a dynamic and unpredictable passing game. As the Tiger-Cats prepare for training camp, the focus will be on integrating White’s skills into new offensive schemes and leveraging his experience to mentor younger players.
The two-year deal provides stability for both White and the Tiger-Cats, allowing them to build on past successes and strive for championship contention. As Hamilton eyes another Grey Cup run, the return of Tim White promises to be a significant factor in their pursuit of CFL glory.
