The Calgary Stampeders have signed quarterbacks Drew Tate and Bo Levi Mitchell to one-year contract extensions with an option for a second year on Tuesday.wholesale nfl jerseys . Tate was going into his option year while Mitchell had one year remaining on his deal and is now signed through 2016. Both are expected to battle for the starters role this season. "Drew and Bo are both very talented quarterbacks who have enjoyed great success as members of the Stampeders," said Stampeders general manager John Hufnagel. "They work extremely well together and their decision to sign extensions with the Stampeders gives us great long-term stability at what is obviously a key position." Tate has been with the Stampeders since 2009 and became the starter in Week 17 of the 2011 season. Injuries have limited him to eight regular-season and two playoff starts since that time but he has been very productive when healthy, posting a 5-0 record when he plays the entire game. He has completed 259 or 381 passes during his Stamps career (a 68.0 per cent completion rate, the highest total in franchise history) for 3,270 yards, 24 touchdowns and just nine interceptions. The 29-year-old University of Iowa product has also accumulated 466 yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground as a Stamp. "Im so fortunate to be with the Stampeders and to represent the white horse," said Tate. "Calgary is a special place and, along with my teammates, I cant wait to start up the good fight again and chase our dream of being Grey Cup champs." Mitchell, 23, has been with the Stampeders for two seasons and posted a 3-0 record when called upon as a starter in 2013. He completed 94 of 135 passes last season for 1,156 yards, 10 touchdowns and three interceptions. He earned the leagues offensive-player-of-the-week award in Week 5 as he completed 29 of 33 passes for 376 yards and three touchdowns in a win over Winnipeg. In two seasons with the Red and White, Mitchell has 1,324 yards and 12 touchdowns as a passer as well as 218 yards and seven scores on the ground. "Ive loved my time in Calgary and Im excited about the opportunity to stay here," said Mitchell. "The Stamps have a great organization, a great coaching staff and a great group of players and this is definitely the place I want to be." wholesale jerseys . Hudson pitched into the eighth inning after having eight days between starts, and the San Francisco Giants beat the Miami Marlins 5-3 on Saturday night. cheap jerseys Canada . LOUIS -- St. MINNEAPOLIS -- Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett has been harping on the importance of turnovers since he got the job. An interception by his defence and a clean game from the offence with a rookie at centre was a good way to make Garrett happy. Gerald Sensabaugh had an interception to stop a long Minnesota drive, Tony Romo connected often with Dez Bryant, and the Cowboys beat the Minnesota Vikings 23-17 in a preseason game Saturday night. "This leagues about turnovers and not turning the ball over," Sensabaugh said. Sounds simple enough. Rookie Kevin Kowalski started at centre for the Cowboys, with veteran Andre Gurode on the inactive list and backup Phil Costa out with a knee injury. Gurodes status on the roster is in doubt due to salary-cap reasons. So Kowalski stepped in and held his own. "It seemed like he and Tony were pretty much on the same page," Garrett said. "Not having a lot of experience working together, anytime you dont have a ball on the ground, thats a positive." Testing out the new turf under the replaced roof at the Metrodome in the first game here since a snowstorm last December severely damaged the 29-year-old stadium, Donovan McNabb and the Minnesota offence was sharp. But Sensabaugh dived to catch a pass batted at the line by Jason Hatcher for an interception at the Dallas 19 in the second quarter, the first turnover forced by the Cowboys this preseason. Just a few minutes earlier, Sensabaugh, the starting free safety, leaped at the line on Ryan Longwells 47-yard field-goal attempt. Orlando Scandrick was in the backfield, too, after eluding rookie Kyle Rudolph, and he was credited with the block. Sensabaugh was high enough to tip the ball himself. Alan Ball, who started at cornerback with Mike Jenkins still recovering from a shoulder injury, picked up the rolling ball and grabbed it again after losing control before running the remaining 20 yards for a score. Ball was injured on the play, but Garrett said it wasnt serious. Romo went 15 for 20 for 141 yards in one half, firing five passes for 67 yards to Bryant, the brash young wide receiver whos on the verge of being the latest featured target in Big D. Felix Jones rushed five times for 20 yards and a touchdown, bowling over strong safety Tyrell Johnson during his 5-yard rumble in the second quarter. Johnson let an interception slip from his grasp the play before, a rollout right by Romo, when he lost his balance at the goal line. "Its been a good preseason and a really good training camp. I think our team is coming along," Romo said. cheap jerseys. McNabb finished 12 for 18 for 164 yards and a 49-yard touchdown toss in the first quarter to Bernard Berrian, who was targeted four times and nearly came up with a second score on a ball knocked away at the goal line by Scandrick in the second quarter. Except for one sack on a stunt up the middle by Anthony Spencer, McNabb was given plenty of time to throw from an offensive line under scrutiny while playing into the third quarter. His throw to Berrian, who sliced through double coverage, was right on the mark. Strong safety Abram Elam let the ball get past his outstretched hand, and Berrian caught it in stride next to his hip in the end zone. Adrian Peterson was in prime form with sizable holes to run through himself, finishing with 81 yards on 14 carries. "The guys came off the ball. They made it a point to be physical and get this running game going," Peterson said. "With that, it makes my job easy." McNabbs strike to Berrian was the first touchdown in three games by the first team. The revamped Vikings, with McNabb in for Brett Favre and a new system under nhew offensive co-ordinator Bill Musgrave. "Everyone kind of thought we were just going to stay intermediate and play it safe, but weve been trying to open up the offence," McNabb said. With the second-stringers in on both sides, Joe Webb -- trying to beat rookie Christian Ponder to the job as McNabbs backup -- scrambled two times for 46 yards for the Vikings including a 10-yard wiggle for a touchdown in the third quarter. The Vikings put pressure on Romo, but he picked on their secondary, one clear area of concern for head coach Leslie Fraziers team. Chris Cook, in line to be the nickel cornerback, had an ice pack on his left hamstring while watching during the second quarter. Starter Cedric Griffin, coming back from his second knee reconstruction in as many years, had trouble keeping Bryant from the ball. Frazier said he expects Griffin to be targeted frequently this season. "It was good work for him. He needed that. He wanted that," Frazier said. Rookie Dan Bailey, part of a four-way competition to be the Cowboys kicker, booted a 37-yard field goal in the first quarter and a 40-yarder in the fourth. Shayne Graham was good from 38 yards in the third quarter. Longwell made a 44-yarder in the second quarter, but his 52-yard attempt fell short in the third. Vikings owner Zygi Wilf and his New Jersey-based family and investors didnt attend the game, a rare absence, because they were preparing their homes for Hurricane Irene. cheap jerseyscheap jerseys from china ' ' '
