Tiger-Cats signing veteran WR Lawler
Published
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have reached a deal with free-agent wide receiver Kenny Lawler, TSN's Dave Naylor reports.
Lawler had 41 receptions for 662 yards and four touchdowns last season with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
Naylor noted earlier that the Ottawa Redblacks had interest in Lawler, but ultimately found better value in signing wide receiver Eugene Lewis. Lewis had 74 catches for 1,070 yards and league-best 10 touchdowns in18 games with the Edmonton Elks last season. He was named to the All-CFL team for the third time in his career.
TSN's Farhan Lalji adds that the Tiger-Cats also added another former Winnipeg Blue Bomber on Tuesday in offensive lineman Liam Dobson.
Lawler spent four of the past five seasons with the Blue Bombers, spending 2022 with the Edmonton Elks. He has 256 career catches for 4,108 yards and 25 touchdowns over his CFL career.
