Sask. Roughriders ink 1-year deal with veteran quarterback Jake Maier
Maier spent previous 4 seasons with Calgary Stampeders
The Saskatchewan Roughriders signed veteran American quarterback Jake Maier on Thursday.
The deal reportedly is for one year. Saskatchewan obtained Maier from the Calgary Stampeders last month.
The six-foot, 200-pound Maier spent the previous four seasons with Calgary, starting 45 of 65 regular-season games.
In 2024, he completed 357 of 494 passes for 3,841 yards (third in CFL) with 22 touchdowns (third overall) and 14 interceptions.
Maier's first full season as a starter was 2023. He threw for 4,244 yards, becoming just the 10th player in Stampeders' history to crack the 4,000-yard plateau.
As a rookie in 2021, he became the first CFL player to crack the 300-yard milestone in each of his first three starts.
In December, the Roughriders extended quarterback Trevor Harris's contract for one year as well.
