The Calgary Stampeders’ chapter on quarterback Jake Maier has officially come to a close.
The Canadian Football League team traded the negotiating rights of the embattled QB on Monday to the Saskatchewan Roughriders 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 on Feb. 11.
Maier started 45-of-65 games over four seasons with Calgary. The 6-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 (5-12-1) miss the CFL playoffs for the first time since 2004. The Stampeders acquired veteran Vernon Adams Jr. from the B.C. Lions last month.
More to come.
