The Saskatchewan Roughriders have acquired the rights to veteran quarterback Jake Maier from the Calgary Stampeders, giving them exclusive negotiating rights before he becomes a free agent in February.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders acquired the rights to veteran quarterback Jake Maier from the Calgary Stampeders on Monday for a 2025 eighth-round draft pick. The deal gives Saskatchewan a window to negotiate exclusively with Maier, who's slated to become a free agent Feb. 11. Maier started 45 of 65 games over four seasons with Calgary (2021-24). The six-foot, 200-pound Maier completed 1,022 of 1,497 passes for 11,685 yards with 60 touchdowns and 39 interceptions.
He also rushed 60 times for 232 yards and five touchdowns. Maier, 27, completed 357 of 494 passes for 3,841 yards with 22 TDs and 14 interceptions last season, one which saw Calgary (5-12) miss the CFL playoffs for the first time since 2004. The Stampeders acquired veteran Vernon Adams Jr. from the B.C. Lions last month. Earlier this month, Saskatchewan signed veteran starter Trevor Harris to a one-year contract extension. Also on Monday, Calgary announced it signed Canadian offensive lineman Zack Williams to a two-year contract extension. The Winnipeg native was scheduled to become a free agent in February. Calgary selected the six-foot-five, 306-pound Williams in the third round of the 2019 CFL draft. The former Manitoba Bison has appeared in 66 regular-season games with the Stampeders but since 2021 has started 60 of 61 contests.
