The Calgary Stampeders have released receiver Josh Huff.

The news comes just a couple of days after the team added former All-Star Reggie Begelton to their receiving corps.

Huff played in 9 games for the Stampeders this season picking up 507 yards on 37 receptions while also returning punts for the Red-and-White.

In 19 career games with Calgary, the 30-year-old Houston native had 74 catches for 998 yards and one touchdown.

The former Oregon Duck also picked up 66 yards in the Stamps West Semi-Final loss to Winnipeg in 2019.

Before coming to the Stamps, Huff spent some time in the NFL being selected by the Philadelphia Eagles 86th overall in the 2014 National Football League draft. He played 34 games for the Eagles from 2014-16 while also playing three games for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2016. In 37 career NFL games, Huff had 51 catches for 523 yards and four touchdowns.

Meanwhile, Begelton was signed by the team November 1st. The 28-year-old earned the Stamps’ nomination for the CFL’s Most Outstanding Player award in 2019 after becoming just the fifth player in franchise history to record at least 100 catches in a season. He finished that year second in the league with 102 receptions and third in both receiving yards with 1,444 and receiving touchdowns 10.

Calgary is on a bye this week, they play B.C. in Week 15.
