The Tiger-Cats finished the season in second place in the East Division with a 9–9 record and qualified for the Grey Cup playoffs for the first time since 2004.

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.
