The Calgary Stampeders have agreed to terms on a two-year contract with Canadian defensive back Adrian Greene, per sources.

The six-foot, 192-pound defender dressed for 16 games with the B.C. Lions this past season, recording 26 defensive tackles, five special teams tackles, and one forced fumble. He started 14 games, including 10 at safety and four at field-side halfback.

The native of Toronto, Ont. is a nice positional fit in Calgary as Benjamin Labrosse, the team’s first-round pick in the 2024 CFL Draft, earned the starting job at field-side halfback late last season. Greene and Labrosse were the only two Canadian players in the entire CFL to start a game at halfback in 2024.

The 25-year-old was originally a fourth-round pick of the 2022 CFL Draft out of Saint Mary’s University. He has made 42 defensive tackles, 18 special teams tackles, and one forced fumble over 36 career CFL games.

Pending free agents can negotiate with teams across the league during the current window, which closes on February 9. Players can agree to terms on a contract with a particular team for 2025, however, these deals aren’t legally binding and can’t be finalized or made official until after free agency opens on February 11.
