Calgary Stampeders Sign Quarterback P.J. Walker

The Calgary Stampeders have signed former NFL quarterback P.J. Walker to a two-year contract, valued at up to $260,500 for the 2025 season. Walker, who previously played for the Carolina Panthers and spent time on the practice roster with Calgary, expressed enthusiasm for the opportunity to grow and compete in Calgary's strong football culture. The Stampeders acquired Walker's negotiation rights in a trade with the Toronto Argonauts and are looking to strengthen their quarterback position after last year's struggles, finishing with a 5-12-1 record. General manager and head coach Dave Dickenson emphasized Walker's potential impact on the team's future. Walker's professional career includes notable performances in both the NFL and XFL, where he led the Houston Roughnecks to an undefeated start before the league's season was cut short due to COVID-19. As Calgary navigates its quarterback situation, Walker is positioned as a frontrunner for the starting role.
