STAMPS SIGN BELL

Calgary Stampeders head coach and general manager John Hufnagel is pleased to announce the signing of free-agent import defensive back Joshua Bell. As per team policy, terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

 

Bell spent the first two years of his CFL career with the BC Lions and made 16 starts at halfback during the 2013 regular season, accumulating 45 tackles, including four tackles for loss, four special-teams tackles, four pass knockdowns and one interception. The 29-year-old Los Angeles native also started the Western Semi-Final against Saskatchewan and recorded four tackles.

 

Prior to coming to the CFL, Bell played 13 games in the National Football League including nine for the Denver Broncos in 2008 and four with the Green Bay Packers in 2009.

 

“Joshua is a talented player with experience on both sides of the border who has established himself as a very good CFL player,” said Hufnagel. “With the departure of several members of our secondary this off-season, he has an excellent opportunity to step in and play an important role with us this season.”
