The Stampeders have seen several big changes to their roster ahead of the free agency season which starts on Tuesday.

Veteran defensive lineman Charleston Hughes was traded to Hamilton and then flipped to Saskatchewan, while fullback Rob Cote and safety Josh Bell announced their retirements.

In a separate move on Friday, the Stampeders announced the signing of receiver Richard Sindani. He was drafted by the Stamps in the 2017 CFL Draft and spent last season with the University of Calgary Dinos.
