Stamps extend Maier through 2024; keeping 'all options open' on Mitchell

The Calgary Stampeders signed quarterback Jake Maier to a contract extension through the 2024 season on Tuesday.

The move puts Bo Levi Mitchell's future in Calgary further in question after he was demoted to backup behind Maier earlier this season.

“Jake’s play has been very consistent and, for a young quarterback, he’s been very efficient,” said Stampeders president and general manager John Hufnagel. “Like any young player, he still has room for more improvement but we believe he has a very bright future. It was important for the organization to get this extension done before the end of the season and we’re pleased that Jake has made this commitment to the team.

“In regards to Bo Levi Mitchell, we plan to speak to him at the conclusion of the season and we’re keeping all options open. Bo has been a tremendous player for the Stampeders for a long time and he has continued to be a great teammate and a great leader.”

“I thank the Stampeders for the opportunity to continue my career in Calgary,” said Maier. “Amanda and I love being here and we look forward to creating more memories with our great fans. I am very excited for the future of this franchise and promise to do everything we can to deliver more championships to this great city.”
