The presence of Johnny Football looms on Hamilton Tiger-Cats sideline
HAMILTON — It has taken five years, but Jeremiah Masoli is finally a starting CFL quarterback.
The 29-year-old secured the No. 1 spot with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats after leading the team to a 6-4 record last season under then-interim head coach June Jones. The Tiger-Cats made Jones their full-time head coach this off-season and then signed Masoli to a two-year extension as their starter.
But the question remains for how long?
Hamilton opens the 2018 season with road games against Edmonton Eskimos and Calgary Stampeders, two teams expected to contend for tops in the West Division. Then the Ticats return home to host the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on June 29 before facing the Saskatchewan Roughriders in a home-and-home series.
