Hamilton Tiger-Cats send Davis to Stampeders for draft pick

After winning only two of their first six games of the 2023 Canadian Football League season the Hamilton Tiger-Cats have traded away defensive end Ja’Gared Davis.

The Ticats shipped the 32-year-old Davis to the Calgary Stampeders in return for a sixth-round pick in the 2024 CFL Draft.

In his second go-round with Hamilton this year, Davis has registered seven defensive tackles and zero quarterback sacks in five games.

He was a healthy scratch for Hamilton’s 31-15 defeat against the Toronto Argonauts last week. Davis also showed up late for training camp this season and has missed a handful of practices.

In 35 games with the Ticats in 2019, 2021 and this season, Davis made 100 tackles and 19 sacks. He has also spent time with Calgary (2016-2018) and helped the Argos win the Grey Cup last year.
