CALGARY — The league’s best team isn’t done getting better.

The Calgary Stampeders bolstered their pass rush on Wednesday, announcing the signing of defensive end Cordarro Law.

Law previously played for the Stampeders in 2012 and 2013 and recorded 15 sacks in 18 regular-seasons games over that period. He also had 46 defensive tackles – including five tackles for loss – eight special-teams tackles, one pass knockdown and one forced fumble.

He also played in four post-season games for the Stamps – including the 2012 Grey Cup – and registered five defensive tackles and two special-teams tackles.

The Whitfield, Ala., product signed with the San Diego Chargers on Feb. 26, 2014, and played 17 games for the National Football League club over the 2014 and 2015 seasons, recording 21 total tackles and one sack.

Law played four seasons with the University of Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles. For his career, he recorded 191 tackles, including 54 tackles for loss, and 27.5 sacks. Law set a school record with 14 career forced fumbles. He was a first-team all-Conference USA selection in 2011 and a second-team selection in 2010.

The 6-foot-2, 262-pound defensive end provides an immediate boost to a defence that already ranks third in the CFL with 33 sacks and sits fourth in the CFL with 370.1 yards allowed per game.
