HAMILTON — Mike Filer is staying put.
The veteran Canadian centre re-signed with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Wednesday. The 28-year-old will return for his eighth season with the CFL club.
Filer, a six-foot-two, 290-pound native of Brantford, Ont., started 17-of-18 games last season with Hamilton. He anchored an offensive line that helped the Ticats average a CFL-best 405.6 offensive yards per game and 310.7 yards passing, the second-most in the league.
Filer has started 79-of-94 career CFL regular-season games and seven playoff contests. He was a fifth-round pick of the Calgary Stampeders in 2012 before signing with Hamilton as a free agent.
ALOUETTES SIGN FAUBERT-LUSSIER
The Montreal Alouettes have signed Canadian receiver Felix Faubert-Lussier to a one-year deal.
The Montreal native played his first two CFL seasons with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Faubert-Lussier made 11 catches for 74 yards last season.
Faubert-Lussier played his college ball at Laval, winning three Vanier Cups.
"We have acquired a versatile player who can be used on offence and special teams," Alouettes general manager Kavis Reed said in a statement. "Faubert-Lussier continued to progress last season and we are thrilled to add him to our pool of national talent."
