CALGARY — The Calgary Stampeders have signed veteran American receiver Dominique Rhymes, the team announced on Tuesday.

“I’m excited to be back in the West and to be back with VA – we’ve done some special things together,” said Rhymes. “I’m also happy to be joining a team that wants me as much as I want them and I’m looking forward to a great ride this season.”
“We’re excited to have Dom with the Red and White,” said Stampeders general manager and head coach Dave Dickenson. “He’s an accomplished receiver who makes plays with the ball and we’re excited to see what he can do for our team.”
