On Friday, the Calgary Stampeders re-signed linebacker Fraser Sopik to a one-year contract extension. Sopik was scheduled to become a free agent next month.
Fraser Sopik on re-signing with the Stampeders said, “I’ve enjoyed my time and development as a player in Calgary since 2019. This coaching staff and organization is special, and I look forward to contributing in any way I can to a Grey Cup run this upcoming year.”
Fraser Sopik played 14 games with four tackles and 13 special teams tackles. The Stampeders drafted Sopik in the fourth round (31st pick) in the 2019 CFL Draft out of Western. In 32 career games, Sopik has 17 tackles, 23 special teams tackles, two sacks, and two forced fumbles.
On the re-signing of Sopik, Calgary Stampeders President and General Manager John Hufnagel said, “Fraser has developed into one of the key members of our special teams, and he’s also made contributions as a situational player on defense. We’re pleased to have him back and look forward to his continued development.”
