Calgary Stampeders News Release
Calgary Stampeders head coach and general manager John Hufnagel is pleased to announce that import quarterback Kevin Glenn has signed a restructured contract with the club. As per team policy, terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
"I'm pleased to be able to restructure Kevin's contract so that it will be a better fit with our salary cap," said Hufnagel. "By accommodating us in this way, Kevin has demonstrated that he is anxious to be a member of the Calgary Stampeders in 2012 and beyond. This restructured deal gives Kevin an opportunity to finish his career here in Calgary."
Glenn, 32, was acquired by Calgary along with offensive lineman Mark Dewit and a conditional draft pick in the Jan. 3 trade with the Tiger-Cats that sent Henry Burris to Hamilton. Glenn is entering his 12th season in the CFL, having played for Saskatchewan, Winnipeg and Hamilton. He has thrown for 32,446 yards, 179 touchdowns and 128 interceptions.
His finest season came with the Ticats in 2010, when he threw for 5,102 yards and 33 touchdowns and had a quarterback rating of 97.6. In 2007, Glenn was named the East Division's nominee for Most Outstanding Player after throwing for 5,114 yards and 25 touchdowns with Winnipeg. He led the Blue Bombers to two playoff wins but couldn't play in the Grey Cup due to injury.
"I'm excited to be a Stampeder and I look forward to this next chapter in my career," said Glenn. "I can't wait to get to work with my new teammates."
The Stamps also announce that import linebacker Sean Ware, who signed with Calgary during Week 11 of the 2011 season and appeared in three games, has retired.
