Calgary Stampeders head coach and general manager John Hufnagel is pleased to announce the signing of international defensive back Joe Burnett. As per team policy, terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Burnett spent the past three seasons with the Edmonton Eskimos, registering 122 tackles, three special-teams tackles, eight interceptions, 11 pass knockdowns and one fumble return for a touchdown in 39 games. He led the CFL in 2012 with six interceptions including two picks returned for touchdowns and was named a West Division and CFL all-star. |
Surprised that the Eskimos didn't re-sign him. Burnett is a good player he just makes a lot of dumb decisions though. He is a ball-hawk and can return punts or kickoffs which would be a plus. I bet you, he'll play much better under Hufnagel this season.
I heard DT Micah Johnson re-signed with the Stampeders too. So now our interior are going to be Eric Taylor, Johnson, Turner and Corey Mace.
