The Calgary Stampeders have launched an investigation into Brendan Langley … after their wide receiver was seen on video punching a United Airlines employee at a New Jersey airport this week.
The Canadian Football League club released a statement late Monday announcing the probe … saying it is aware of Langley’s arrest and is “looking into the matter in order to learn the full details.”
“[We] will have no further comment until the investigation is complete,” the team said.
Langley — who just signed with the Stampeders in February — got into a brawl with the UA employee at the Newark Liberty International Airport after an argument.
The video of the melee went viral … capturing the two men in an all-out fistfight at a ticket counter.
The employee was left with a bloody face and police tell us Langley was later arrested for simple assault. United ultimately fired the employee over the incident.
Langley was selected as a cornerback by the Denver Broncos in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft — making him the first player drafted from Lamar University in over 25 years.
The 27-year-old signed a four-year, $3.17 million deal … and converted to wide receiver in March 2019. He was waived before the 2019 season.
After a short stint with the Seattle Seahawks and the XFL, Langley signed with the Stampeders, where he was expected to compete for playing this season.
