James Butler

Running BackRB
Finds work in Hamilton
RBHamilton
February 15, 2023
Butler signed a two-year contract with the Tiger-Cats on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old will most likely take over as the Tiger-Cats' No. 1 running back in 2023, coming off a stellar season for the Lions in which he carried 210 times for 1,060 yards and seven touchdowns to go along with 53 receptions for 384 yards and four scores. Sean Thomas-Erlington is currently the only other running back under contract for Hamilton, and though he tallied a respectable 587 yards from scrimmage to go along with two touchdowns in 18 games for the Tiger-Cats in 2022, he doesn't have as long of a track record of success at the CFL level as Butler, a veteran of 28 career regular-season appearances.
