The Calgary Stampeders saw their season come to an end on Saturday as they fell 33-30 to the B.C. Lions in the West Semi-Final on a walk-off field goal.
2025 marked the sixth-straight season in which the Stampeders failed to record a playoff victory, though it feels like there are reasons for optimism in Cowtown. With an 11-7 record, the team went from last place to a contender with double-digit wins in the span of one year. Vernon Adams Jr. came as advertised as the new face of the franchise, and their young roster saw meaningful contributions from rookies and sophomores galore.
There’s still work to be done this offseason, as the NFL could come calling for a couple of those young players and a handful of others get set to hit the open market.
Here is the full list of 28 players whose contracts will expire in February. Please note that “N” denotes nationals (ie, Canadians), “A” denotes Americans, and “G” denotes Globals.
