CALGARY - The Calgary Stampeders have signed defensive lineman Corey Mace to a contract extension.
The 29-year-old from Port Moody, B.C., started a dozen regular-season games in 2014. He recorded 11 tackles and a fumble recovery. Mace contributed to a Stampeder defence that averaged less than 100 rushing yards against per game.
Mace had a sack and a tackle in Calgary's Grey Cup win over Hamilton.
He suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in the first game of the 2013 season and missed the majority of the 2011 campaign with a ruptured Achilles' tendon.
The six-foot-three, 286-pound defensive tackle was a second-round draft pick of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 2007, but Mace signed as a free agent with the NFL's Buffalo Bills.
He played a combined five games for the Bills in 2008 and 2009 before the Stampeders acquired his rights from Toronto in 2010.
