STAMPEDERS ADD HUGH CHARLES
Calgary Stampeders head coach and general manager John Hufnagel is pleased to announce the signing of international running back Hugh Charles to the practice roster. As per team policy, terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Currently in his seventh CFL season, Charles has rushed 401 times for 2,170 yards and 15 touchdowns and added 82 receptions for 995 yards and five touchdowns over 55 games with Saskatchewan and Edmonton. He has also returned 78 kickoffs for 1,718 yards, a 22.0 average.
“Hugh is a CFL veteran who over the years has demonstrated great ability as a runner, a receiver out of the backfield and a kick returner,” said Hufnagel. “With our current injury situation, Hugh provides some very valuable depth for us at the running back and kick-returner positions.”
Charles first joined the league as a free agent with Saskatchewan in 2008 where he played 21 games before being traded to Edmonton on Oct. 12, 2011. Charles became the Eskimos’ featured back in 2012 and 2013, amassing 1,292 rushing yards and 724 receiving yards over 31 regular-season games.
Charles was released by Edmonton at the end of training camp this year and played one game with Saskatchewan.
Ha, Ha, Ha.
Hufnagle knows football, Hugh Charles great addition.
And You can't even spell Hufnagel….. Duh!!
@ And. You can't even spell Hufnagel/Hufnagle….. Duh!! who cares!!!!
Hufnagle knows he is desperate for a RB, based on that criteria Hugh Charles is a great addition.
If Charles plays Bo Levi may get injured because HC refuses to block.
Bo knows football.
Taman gets roasted over the coals for bringing in Charles and now Huffer does it. Who's desperate now? Suck it Taman-haters!!!
an ESPN reporter based out of Kansas City today said that he's not expected Dressler to make the team. Instead he believes Kansas City has some good young talent they'll keep around instead. Thoughts?
Former BC Lion receiver Korey WIlliams posts on Facebook that he has signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Dresser is playing with the Big Dogs right now! He is getting a very close look and if he can make special teams he will make the team.

To the brainwashed Taman supporter:
Taman had all winter to find a running back. Hufnagel had no way of knowing Cornish would be then his replacement Walter also injured.
Totally different scenario.

dressler will not be making the NFL this is nothing more then an experience for him plus he got a nice signing bonus for his accomplishments in the CFL… he is nothing more then a body at training camp.
He will be back in the CFL and it will not be with the Riders
Ok there…and you know all of this because? ?
The Rock
Winnipeg/other destination after all NFL opportunities exhausted, closer to North Dakota port of entry, travel user friendly for family. Marc Trestman and his Chicago Bears on stand by.

Ya I'm sure a couple hours extra of driving will make him decide to play in the losing city if winnipeg. Dressler wants to win. He'll come back to his canadian home aka regina and win another championship! Go Riders Go!!!
The Stamps love players who fumble the ball!!
So do the Roughriders, they do it very well, it's part of their offensive schemes, give the ball away every game !!!!
Stamps are full of fumbling bumbling idiots! Always have been and always will be!
They are not going to keep a 29 year old around just as a punt returner…..rosters are tight and the returner goes to someone younger in a development role who can also be a injury option for one of the receiver positions. The Chiefs have several younger options in this area. As I have said since February Dress will be back with the Riders…on the sidelines for Labour Day and in uniform for Banjo Bowl.
Yup he wears number 13 in kc to honour rider nation but he will sign on winnipeg….give yiur head a shake
Dressier will go to the team with the most cash. Football is a short career need to make as much money as possible. Can't imagine he would want to play in a place where is salary needs to be supplemented by traveling to small town fundraiser all winter.
those werent fundraisers, they were grey cup celebrations. As u are a bomber fan, im not surprised that u dont know what those would look like.
