The Calgary Stampeders may be investing in new office nameplates these days, though nothing was officially confirmed by the club on Wednesday.

Stamps general manager John Hufnagel is in Las Vegas for the CFL annual GM/Board of Governors’ meetings and was unavailable for comment on a flurry of recent reports putting the CFL team’s executives on the move.

Among the items being bandied about: assistant general manager and director of player personnel John Murphy heading to Regina to handle vice president of player personnel duties for the Saskatchewan Roughriders. That move was confirmed on Tuesday night by the Regina Leader-Post, citing a CFL source.

Like the Stamps, the Riders wouldn’t comment on the move either when reached on Wednesday. An official announcement is expected next week.

Murphy is universally acknowledged as one of the finest talent locators in the CFL. He has spent eight seasons with the Stampeders, including the last five as an assistant general manager and director of player personnel. Murphy is credited with adding quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell to Calgary’s negotiation list and also brought in star receivers Jeff Fuller and Eric Rogers.
