It appears to be the end of an era in Calgary.
There are multiple reports suggesting the Calgary Stampeders have traded quarterback Henry Burris to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in exchange for Quarterback Kevin Glenn.
Sportsnet 960’s CFL Insider Arash Madani tells 660News, he’s not surprised considering the Stamps signed Drew Tate to a contract extension.
“It’s the end of an era, no question about it, but from the business side of it, Henry’s a $400,000-plus cap hit next year, he was due a big bonus on February 1st, something had to happen, it had to happen quick,” said Madani.
Hamilton would also send offensive lineman Mark Dewitt to Calgary in the transaction.
Burris led Calgary to a Grey Cup championship in 2008 over the Montreal Alouettes and was named the CFL’s Most Outstanding Player in 2010.
