Off-season
CFL draft
The 2009 CFL Draft took place on May 2, 2009. The Tiger-Cats selected tackle Simeon Rottier from the University of Alberta first overall. They originally also had the third overall pick as well but traded that to the BC Lions for sixth and thirteenth overall picks so the Lions could select their desired player, Jamall Lee.[1]
