The Calgary Stampeders have signed Canadian defensive back Adrian Greene to a contract extension through 2028. He was already under contract for the 2026 season.<\/p>\n

The six-foot, 189-pound defender started 13 regular-season games for the Stampeders at field-side cornerback in 2025, earning an All-West Division selection. He recorded 39 defensive tackles, six interceptions, three pass knockdowns, and two touchdowns. Greene also made one defensive tackle in the West Semi-Final, which he also started.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m grateful to continue this journey with the Stampeders and to make Calgary my home for a while,\u201d said Greene in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cI take pride in what we\u2019re building here and to keep growing as a leader for this defence. I\u2019m excited to keep making plays for our team and our fans; their support means everything. We\u2019re working towards something big, and I\u2019m committed to elevating my game and helping bring a championship back to this city.\u201d<\/p>\n

The native of Toronto, Ont. was originally a fourth-round pick in the 2022 CFL Draft by the B.C. Lions. He dressed for 42 regular-season games with the team, making 42 defensive tackles, 18 special teams tackles, three interceptions, and one forced fumble.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old played collegiately at Saint Mary\u2019s University, where he made 37 tackles, one interception, and one fumble recovery over 21 games.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdrian has established himself as a top corner in our league,\u201d said Stampeders head coach and general manager Dave Dickenson. \u201cI am excited to continue watching him grow and build with the Stampeders.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Calgary Stampeders weren\u2019t very active in CFL free agency, though they signed former Toronto Argonauts receiver Dejon Brissett, who set a career-high with 907 receiving yards in 2025. The Stampeders didn\u2019t lose any free agents to other CFL teams but had three players sign in the NFL: receiver Damien Alford (New Orleans Saints), defensive lineman Jaylon Hutchings (Minnesota Vikings), and linebacker Jacob Roberts (Minnesota Vikings).<\/p>\n

The Stampeders hold the sixth overall pick in the 2026 CFL Draft, which is scheduled for Tuesday, April 28 at 7:00 p.m. EDT. All CFL training camps are scheduled to open on May 10. Calgary will play its first preseason game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Monday, May 18 and its first regular-season game against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Friday, June 5.<\/p>\n

In 2025, Calgary finished third in the West Division standings with an 11-7 record but lost the West Semi-Final to the B.C. Lions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo courtesy: Jaclyn McKee\/B.C.
