Bo Levi Mitchell has left his future in football uncertain after the Hamilton Tiger-Cats’ 19–16 loss to the Montreal Alouettes in the East Final.
The veteran quarterback, who enjoyed a strong 2025 season, said he intends to take time before deciding whether to return for 2026.
“I have conversations I have to have with family, my coaches, and the guys who make decisions,” Mitchell told reporters. “It’s an amazing group — great players, great staff, and it’s been unreal working under Scott Milanovich.”
Mitchell, who turns 36 in March, has previously hinted at retirement but remains one of the CFL’s elite passers. He threw a career-high 36 touchdowns this season and completed 29 of 36 passes for 269 yards and a score in the East Final.
A free agent this winter, Mitchell praised receiver Kenny Lawler after the loss, calling him “the best guy I’ve ever played with.” Both Mitchell and backup Taylor Powell are out of contract for 2026, leaving Hamilton with big decisions to make heading into the offseason.
