ALOUETTES ACQUIRE STAMPS
MONTREAL – The Montreal Alouettes announced on Friday that the club has acquired international all-star slotback Fred Stamps in return for international receiver Kenny Stafford. The eight-year CFL veteran is coming to Montreal following an already highly productive career.
Stamps (6’00”, 188 lbs.) spent his entire CFL-career in an Edmonton Eskimos uniform. The New-Orleans, LA native made his way into the Eskimos’ record book as he ranks third with 496 career-receptions as well as second all-time with 7,932 receiving yards.
“Fred Stamps has been one of the top receivers in the CFL over the last 5 years,” declared Alouettes General Manager, Jim Popp. “This addition adds strength, character, and another high level performer to our solid receiving core.”
In only 12 outings last season, the 33-year-old receiver recorded 545 receiving-yards on 33 catches, while scoring two touchdowns. He was named the Eskimos’ most outstanding player in 2009, 2010 and 2013. In Montreal, he will join his former teammate with the Louisiana-Lafayette University Ragin’ Cajuns, Kyries Hebert.
From 2009 to 2013, Stamps registered five straight 1,000-plus receiving-yards seasons. That stellar streak allowed him to be named on the CFL’s all-star team four times (2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013). He topped the CFL in receiving yards in 2009 and 2013 with gains of 1,402 and 1,259 yards respectively.
Before making the leap into the CFL, Stamps had joined the San Francisco 49ers as a free agent in 2004. He also suited up for the Baltimore Ravens and the Jacksonville Jaguars.
ESKS shedding salary
als replacing duron carter.
Als have lots of cap room too because they are not paying big $ for their QB. If Crompton develops into an elite QB, then things will get tighter.
Eskies just entered the Dressler sweepstakes.
Just glad that the Stamps didn't get Stamps.
It appears Keith Price, who joined the team in the fall, will not return in 2015 – from LP
Whats up with this ???????????
If you were Keith Price would you come back ?
GB – your comment is just plain stupid. Do everyone a favour and go away, forever
Alouette , gentille alouette

Ohhh, Alouette ……. …….
Oops !

Ohhh, Alouette ……. …….
Really? Keith Price. Nowhere close to being near Sunseri's level.
And if you were Price why would you come back to be the fourth quarterback. Go play in the arena league.
