The Calgary Stampeders are set to sign offensive lineman Trevon Tate to a one-year contract on Thursday according to 3DownNation’s Justin Dunk.
Trevon Tate is six foot four and weighs 295 pounds. The 27-year-old from Houston, Texas, started ten games for the Argonauts in 2023.

Tate played two games before Hamilton released him and he signed with Toronto in 2021. Later, the Redblacks signed Tate off the Argonauts’ practice squad and played one game. He returned to Toronto and played four games for Toronto.
