The Calgary Stampeders may be looking to add a quarterback after the retirement of P.J. Walker at age 31.
Walker, who played in college at Temple, made the rounds of North American-based football leagues over the past nine seasons.
He made his final stop in Calgary of the Canadian Football League, signing in October 2024 to the practice squad. He was the backup quarterback in 2025, dressing for 13 games and starting one -- Week 9 in Ottawa. In that game, he was 35-of-59 passing for 395 yards with two touchdowns and four interceptions.
Undrafted in 2017, Walker signed with the Indianapolis Colts that season and was on the practice squad until his release just before the start of the 2019 season.
In 2019, the Houston Roughnecks of the XFL signed him, and he played in five games in 2020 before the global pandemic stalled sports. Later in 2020, he signed with the Carolina Panthers and appeared in 15 games (seven starts) over three seasons and threw for 1,461 yards and five touchdowns with 11 passes picked off.
He signed with the Cleveland Browns in 2023 and appeared in two games, completing 54 passes for 674 yards and one touchdown with five interceptions.
Through the years, he also signed with both the Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks but was released before the season started.
He ends his NFL career with a 5-4 record in nine starts over 21 games. He completed 54.6% of his passes for 2,135 yards with six TDs and 16 interceptions.
The Stampeders are scheduled to open the season June 5 with a visit from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
