The following player has been signed:

Kinne signed with the National Football League’s New York Jets as an undrafted free agent in 2012 and he has also spent time with the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants. Kinne is an alum of the University of Tulsa where in 2011 he threw for 3,090 yards and 28 touchdowns while running for 405 yards and three majors.

The following players have been released:

• International linebacker Jared Brackens
• International defensive lineman Quayshawne Buckley

Moniz dressed in 36 games for the Stamps over the past two seasons and completed two of four passes for 29 yards and one touchdown. He saw action as Calgary’s short-yardage quarterback and carried the ball 35 times for 98 yards and six touchdowns.

Thurmond played one game for Hamilton in 2014 while the other five players are CFL rookies.
