Riders punch postseason ticket with win over Elks
6h ago
The Riders are postseason bound in 2024.
CALGARY — The Calgary Stampeders have re-signed receiver Andres Salgado.
Salgado, a Mexico City native, appeared in 15 regular-season games for the Stampeders during the 2019 season and recorded one special-teams tackle.
He also dressed for the Stampeders’ West semifinal loss to Winnipeg.
Salgado was Calgary’s first-round selection (ninth overall) in the inaugural CFL-Liga de Futbol Americano (Mexico) draft in January of 2019.
Prior to joining the Stampeders, Salgado played for Condors CDMX in the Mexican league.
In his final season with the Condors, he led the LFA with an average of 18.9 yards per catch and had 31 receptions for 586 yards.
Salgado had a 44-yard touchdown catch in the Condors’ victory in the league’s championship game, the Mexico Bowl.
“Andres has worked extremely hard on and off the field from the moment he joined the Stampeders and has made steady improvement as a player,” Stampeders president and general manager John Hufnagel said in a release.
“He has continued to show that work ethic and dedication this past year as he chose to remain in Calgary.”
The moratorium on clubs re-signing their players was lifted on Monday.
