HAMILTON — The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are making a push to land All‑CFL linebacker Wynton McManis, according to a report from 3DownNation’s Justin Dunk.
McManis, ranked No. 15 on CFL.ca’s Top 30 pending free agents list, is eligible to hit the market when free agency opens. The veteran defender remains one of the league’s most disruptive playmakers.
Despite being limited to 13 games in 2025, McManis produced 62 defensive tackles, four sacks, two interceptions, and one forced fumble for the Toronto Argonauts. His blend of physicality, range, and game‑changing instincts has made him one of the CFL’s most impactful defenders.
The 31‑year‑old has spent the past four seasons in Toronto after three years with the Calgary Stampeders. Across 100 career games, McManis has amassed 390 defensive tackles, 52 special teams tackles, 16 sacks, nine interceptions, three defensive touchdowns, and four forced fumbles.
A proven winner, McManis is a three‑time Grey Cup champion, earning titles with Calgary in 2018 and with Toronto in 2022 and 2024.
