CALGARY — The Calgary Stampeders have signed American defensive back Jonathan Moxey. The Boise State alum – who made 13 regular-season starts for the Stamps in 2021 including 12 at the field corner position – had been eligible to become free agent on Tuesday.
“Jonathan was very good during the regular-season in 2021 and exceptional in our playoff game,” said Stampeders president and general manager John Hufnagel. “His versatility as a defensive back will provide us with options when we go into our 2022 training camp and getting him re-signed is an important step in solidifying our secondary and defence.”
“I thank God for the opportunity to play this game,” said Moxey. “Let’s honour Him by striving to be our best.”
