The Calgary Stampeders saw their season come to a close on Sunday following a 30-16 loss to the B.C. Lions in the West Semi-Final.
This marked the team’s third consecutive first-round exit from the playoffs and it’s clear that changes will be taking place in Cowtown this winter. Bo Levi Mitchell has already confirmed that he plans to move on to a new team in 2023, while perennial all-star kicker Rene Paredes is mulling retirement.
Below is every player who is currently slated to reach free agency for the Stampeders in February 2023.
