Bo Levi Mitchell tops the changing quarterback landscape in the CFL this season.
The veteran quarterback enters his ninth season as a league starter but first with Hamilton. The Tiger-Cats signed Mitchell to a three-year deal shortly after acquiring his rights from the Calgary Stampeders, the team he'd been the starter with since 2014.
Mitchell posted a 90-25-2 regular-season record with the Stampeders , leading them to four Grey Cup appearances . Twice, the 33-year-old Texan was named the CFL's outstanding player. The Ticats haven't won a Grey Cup title since 1999, the longest championship drought in the CFL. For the second time in three years, Hamilton will host the CFL title game, which will be played Nov. 19 at Tim Hortons Field.B.C. Lions — Veteran Vernon Adams Jr. opens under centre after winning four-of-six starts last year after being acquired from Montreal when incumbent Nathan Rourke was injured. Rourke returned to the lineup but this off-season signed with the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars.
Saskatchewan Roughriders — Veteran American Trevor Harris replaces Cody Fajardo as the starter, with Fajardo having moved on to Montreal, the team Harris played for last year. Saskatchewan becomes the fifth CFL team for Harris, 36, who completed 71.6 per cent of his passes for 4,157 yards last season. The six-foot-three, 212-pound Harris began his career in Canada with Toronto in 2012 and has also played for Ottawa and Edmonton.
