CALGARY – The Calgary Stampeders signed quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. to a two-year extension Thursday that will keep him with the club through the 2028 CFL season.
Adams, acquired in a trade from the B.C. Lions after the 2024 campaign, went 11-6 as a starter in his first season with Calgary.
The 33-year-old threw for 4,247 yards with 21 touchdowns and 14 interceptions over 17 regular-season games last year.
He also rushed for 332 yards and two touchdowns while adding two two-point conversions on the ground.
In the Western semifinal, Adams completed 23 of 33 passes for 334 yards and two touchdowns in Calgary’s 33-30 loss to the Lions.
Adams has passed for 20,437 yards and 117 touchdowns across nine seasons with the Montreal Alouettes, Lions and Stampeders.
