A top Canadian receiver is returning to the Calgary Stampeders.
After being waived with an injury designation by the New Orleans Saints in June, Damien Alford has re-signed with the Stampeders, the CFL team announced Wednesday.
The Stamps picked the Montreal native first overall in the 2025 CFL Draft.
The six-foot-six Alford had 20 catches for 407 yards and five touchdowns in 15 regular-season games last season.
“We have been tracking Damien since he was released in the NFL,” Stamps general manager/head coach Dave Dickenson said. “He is a special talent. He will make us even more explosive as an offence. We are excited to bring him back.”
Meanwhile, the Stamps also signed American defensive back Lance Boykin, a former Seattle Seahawk.
