Calgary Stampeders hitch quarterback wagon to "Big-play VA" Vernon Adams Jr.
- In 2025, the Calgary Stampeders brought in quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. from the B.C. Lions just a month after completing their poorest campaign in over twenty years during the 2024 season.
- Calgary ended the 2024 season last in the CFL with a 5-12-1 record, missing the playoffs for the first time in 19 years, prompting the team to seek a quarterback upgrade.
- Adams, a 32-year-old CFL veteran, topped the league in passing yards with 4,769 and finished second in touchdowns with 31 during the 2023 season; however, an injury in August 2024 forced him to miss time.
- Stampeders coach and GM Dave Dickenson said, "One twelfth, but quarterback play is vital," while Adams acknowledged, "My thing was I threw too many interceptions" and wants to protect the ball and involve playmakers.
- The acquisition signals Calgary's intent to use Adams’ experience to help turn the team around and restore its winning culture in 2025.
