“Malik this season has emerged as a dynamic playmaker and one of the league’s most dangerous receivers,” Stampeders president and general manager John Hufnagel said Wednesday in a statement. 

“I’m pleased that Malik has made this commitment to the organization and look forward to seeing his continued development as one of the important members of our offence.”

Henry signed with the Stampeders for the 2021 season after spending time on NFL practice squads in San Francisco, Indianapolis and New Orleans.
