While many veteran salaries become guaranteed after Week 9, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats have cut a pair of experienced players, but not because they will be salary cap hits.
Sportsnet first reported Wednesday that wide receiver Marquay McDaniel and defensive back Daniel Francis were released by the Tabbies.
McDaniel, who has battled injuries this season, was deemed expendable with the return of Maurice Mann to the lineup. Meanwhile Francis, who began his career with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, did not have the body type to fit in Corey Chamblin’s secondary.
Also Wednesday, the Calgary Stampeders announced the signing of Canadian linebacker Justin Conn.
Conn, a recent cut of the Montreal Alouettes, played his university football with the Bishop’s Gaiters.
