Calgary Stampeders Bring in Two Defensive Backs, Say Goodbye to Another

The Calgary Stampeders made some moves at defensive back this week, releasing Shaquille St-Lot and bringing in Josh Thomas and Meiko Dotson.

There was some turnover in the Calgary Stampeders’ secondary this week, as the team said goodbye to Shaquille St-Lot and signed Josh Thomas and Meiko Dotson.

St-Lot was drafted by the Stampeders in the seventh round of the 2022 CFL Draft and posted two tackles in two games with Calgary last year. During his two seasons at Maine, St-Lot made 41 total tackles, 18 pass deflections, two fumble recoveries and one interception in four games.

Thomas appeared in four NFL games with the Buffalo Bills and Arizona Cardinals, making five total tackles. He also attended training camp with the Carolina Panthers.

In 56 games with Appalachian State, Thomas racked up 163 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, seven interceptions, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. His performance in 2019 helped earn him a Second Team All-Sun Belt Conference selection.
