The Calgary Stampeders signed quarterback Drew Tate to a contract extension on Monday. An eight-year veteran who has spent six seasons with the Stampeders, Tate led the league with 10 rushing touchdowns last season. Drew has performed very well for us when he was on the field, said general manager John Hufnagel. Drew and Bo Levi Mitchell are important players for us regardless of who was named the starter and that certainly proved to be the case in 2014. Its very important in the CFL to have quality and depth at the quarterback position and so Im very pleased with Drews decision to make this commitment to the Stampeders. Tate completed 66 of 111 passes for 823 yards and five touchdowns last season. He carried the ball 42 times for 129 yards and 10 scores. Its been an honour and a privilege to represent the white horse for the past six years and Im very happy to have the chance to continue to do so, said Tate. Winning a Grey Cup with this group of guys last year was a dream come true and I am stoked to get back at it and try to do it again. After two seasons with the Saskatchewan Roughriders in which he did not see any action, Tate signed with the Stampeders in 2009. In 75 career regular-season games for the Stamps, he has completed 325 of 492 passes (a 66.1-per cent completion rate) for 4,093 yards and 29 touchdowns. He has 148 career rushes for 595 yards and 23 touchdowns. In another transaction, the Stampeders released international defensive lineman Shawn Lemon in order to allow him to sign a contract with a National Football League club. Lemon was scheduled to become a free agent on Feb. 10. Shawn has an agreement in place with an NFL club and we are granting him his release in order to allow him to sign a contract immediately rather than waiting until February, said Hufnagel. We wish Shawn the best of luck and thank him for his contributions to the Stampeders. Lemon led the Stampeders with 13 sacks in 2014 and he tied the CFL single-season record with eight forced fumbles. He had 31 tackles, including five tackles for loss, and one interception.
