The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have signed American defensive back Devodric Bynum, the team announced on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old was released by the Calgary Stampeders last this past week, a move that was announced mere hours before their second and final preseason game.<\/p>\n

Bynym was one of Calgary\u2019s top free agent signings this offseason, but was listed as a backup halfback for Friday\u2019s preseason game against the Edmonton Elks. He made four tackles in his preseason debut for the Stampeders.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old played five regular-season games with the Elks in 2025, recording 17 defensive tackles.<\/p>\n

The five-foot-eleven, 195-pound defender played 14 regular-season games as a CFL rookie with the team in 2024, making 23 defensive tackles, five interceptions, and one forced fumble.<\/p>\n

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats opened training camp on May 10. The team lost 20-10 in its first preseason game against the Toronto Argonauts, then won 20-14 in their second preseason game against Toronto on Friday, May 29. Final roster cuts were due on Saturday, May 30. The team will play its first regular-season game against the Montreal Alouettes on Thursday, June 4.<\/p>\n

Hamilton recently selected Louisiana Tech offensive lineman Jonathan Denis with their first-round pick in the 2026 CFL Draft, adding depth up front. The team\u2019s other major offseason additions include quarterback Tre Ford, receiver Kurleigh Gittens Jr., and linebacker Wynton McManis.<\/p>\n

In 2025, the Tiger-Cats finished first in the East Division standings with an 11-7 record, though the team lost the East Final to the Montreal Alouettes.<\/p>\n
