Edmonton Eskimos fullback and special-teams player Mike Maurer is retiring after 10 CFL seasons.
He spent the past three years in Edmonton and was named the top Canadian in the Eskimos’ 2005 Grey Cup victory.
“I would like to thank the Eskimo organization and the fans for making my time in Edmonton the best part of my playing career,” Maurer said in a statement Tuesday.
Maurer was tied for the team lead with 20 special-teams tackles last season. He also caught two passes for 14 yards and one touchdown.
“Mike excelled at doing the tough jobs on field - special teams, blocking and long snapping,” said Edmonton head coach Danny Maciocia. “He should be very proud of everything he accomplished in the CFL and our entire organization wishes Mike and his family all the best in the future.”
Maurer, a 32-year-old Saskatoon native, also won a Grey Cup with the B.C. Lions in 2000. He broke into the league in 1998 with the Saskatchewan Roughriders and also played for the Ottawa Renegades.
