The Calgary Stampeders have officially signed American receiver Tevin Jones. 3DownNation reported the agreement last week during the CFL’s negotiation window.
The 32-year-old made 40 catches for 731 yards, rushed twice for 13 yards, and scored six total touchdowns with the Edmonton Elks this past season, averaging a league-leading 18.3 yards per reception (min. 20 catches).
The six-foot-one, 225-pound native of Amory, Miss. spent the previous two seasons with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, making 85 catches for 1,147 yards and six touchdowns over 31 games. He also returned three kickoffs for 49 yards.
Jones spent five years in the NFL prior to coming north, spending time as a member of the Houston Texans, Kansas City Chiefs, Pittsburgh Steelers, Dallas Cowboys, and Jacksonville Jaguars. He dressed for five regular-season games with the Steelers, making four catches for 61 yards.
