Calgary Stampeders News Release


The Calgary Stampeders have signed free-agent import offensive linemen Antonio Hall and Ben Archibald.

Hall is the lone addition with Canadian Football League experience. He spent time with the Saskatchewan Roughriders from 2005 to 2007, seeing game action in 2006. He was on the Indianapolis Colts practice roster in 2004 and has played in the Arena Football League.

"I worked with Antonio when I was the o-line coach in Saskatchewan (in 2006)," said Stamps associate head coach/offensive coordinator George Cortez. "He's very sound fundamentally, he's athletic and versatile. He can play guard and tackle."

Archibald is a product of Brigham Young University and he spent time with the New Orleans Saints. Bennett went to Clemson and was signed by the Carolina Panthers as an undrafted free agent in 2007. The Panthers released him at training camp last August.
