Calgary Stampeders News Release


Calgary Stampeders general manager John Hufnagel announces that the team has released international receiver Eric Rogers in order to allow him to sign a contract with a National Football League club.

Rogers was scheduled to become a free agent on Feb. 9.

"Eric has an agreement in place with an NFL club and we are granting him his release in order to allow him to sign a contract immediately rather than waiting until February," said Hufnagel. "We wish Eric the best of luck and thank him for his contributions to the Stampeders."

In 2015, his first full season with the Stampeders, Rogers led the CFL with 1,448 receiving yards and had 87 receptions and 10 touchdowns. He appeared in two regular-season games in 2014 and was the Stamps' leading receiver in Calgary's Grey Cup win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

"I would like to thank everyone who works for the first-class organization that Calgary is, " said Rogers. "The whole coaching staff, especially Coach Huff, Coach Dickie (Dave Dickenson) and Coach Pete (Costanza) was great, as was John Murphy.

"I thank all of my teammates from the past two years and have nothing but great memories of my time with them. I also want to thank the fans for their support and the members of the media."
