Bell is coming off a breakout season in 2025 after taking over the lead-back role in Hamilton halfway through the 2024 season. Last year, Bell posted career highs in carries (184), rushing yards (1,038), receptions (62) and receiving yards (426). He was named East All-CFL for the first time in his career following the season.

"Greg is a top-tier running back who has big-play capability as a runner and a receiver," said Head Coach and General Manager Ryan Dinwiddie. "We're incredibly excited to have him in our organization and we feel that his vision, explosiveness and ability to make people miss will be an extremely valuable piece of our offence for the next two seasons."

The Chula Vista, California native spent his college career with three different schools including Arizona Western (2016-17), Nebraska (2018) and San Diego State (2019-21). After three seasons with the Aztecs, Bell signed with the Detroit Lions as an undrafted free agent (2022) and also spent time with the Pittsburgh Steelers (2023), before signing with the Tiger-Cats in 2024.
