CALGARY — The Calgary Stampeders have extended National linebacker Micah Teitz, the team announced on Friday. A Calgary native and a six-year Canadian Football League veteran, Teitz had been eligible to become a free agent next month.
“We’re excited to keep Micah in Calgary,” said Stampeders general manager and head coach Dave Dickenson. “His work ethic and versatility are two things that will make us better in 2025.”
“I am excited to be a part of the Stampeders organization for another year,” said Teitz “My younger self would be thrilled to know that I am able to continue to play for the Red and White. This means a lot to my wife, parents and friends in the city. I am looking forward to the 2025 season and I will bring my best on the field like I do every season.”
