“The Calgary Stampeders football club is aware of the reports concerning Brendan Langley,” the Stampeders said in a statement. “The team is currently looking into the matter in order to learn the full details and will have no further comment until the investigation is complete.”

The six-foot-one, 179-pound Langley signed with Calgary as a free-agent receiver in February. The 27-year-old was a 2017 third-round pick of the NFL’s Denver Broncos and appeared in 16 regular-season games as a defensive back from 2017-18.

Langley also spent time on the Seattle Seahawks practice roster in 2020.

Langley played collegiately at Georgia and Lamar.
