Veteran quarterback Drew Tate has been shopped around by the Calgary Stampeders, per CFL sources.

The 32-year-old signed a two-year contract extension last off-season, which means he has one left to go on the deal.

Tate made one start for the Stamps in 2016, completing 22-of-37 passes for 218 yards with two interceptions in a Week 19 loss to Montreal.
