The Calgary Stampeders signed American quarterback Jake Maier to a contract extension through the 2024 season Tuesday.
Maier began the year as the backup to veteran Bo Levi Mitchell but became Calgary's starter before its 31-29 loss to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Aug. 25. He has guided the Stampeders to victory in three of his five starts heading into the club's home game Saturday night against the Toronto Argonauts .
"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.
On Tuesday, Maier was named the CFL's second top performer of the week after guiding Calgary to a 25-11 win over the B.C. Lions. Maier completed 27-of-33 passes for 294 yards while rushing twice for 14 yards.
