Eddie Davis, who spent five seasons of his distinguished Canadian Football League career with the Stampeders, has announced his retirement.
The defensive back from St. Louis, Mo., joined the CFL in 1995 as a member of the Birmingham Barracudas during the league’s foray into American markets.
Davis joined the Stamps in 1996 after being picked up in a dispersal draft and remained with the Red and White through the 2000 campaign.
He was part of the Stamps’ Grey Cup-championship squad in 1998 and was a CFL all-star in 2000.
Davis played a total of 74 games for the Stamps, recording 243 tackles, 14 interceptions and six sacks. The Northern Illinois alumnus joined the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 2001 and won a second Grey Cup ring in 2007 but he still makes his off-season home in Calgary.
He was a five-time division all-star and played 18 playoff games and three Grey Cup contests during his career.
