ARGOS AGREE WITH TWO LINEMEN

The Toronto Argonauts Football Club is pleased to announce that it has re-signed non-import OL Wayne Smith through the 2015 season, and signed on 2013 first round draft pick, OL Matt Sewell through the 2016 season. Smith was granted free agency at 12 noon yesterday afternoon. Sewell chose to return to school this season to complete a special accelerated MBA program.

Commented Argonauts General Manager Jim Barker,”Wayne Smith is a veteran Canadian lineman who has been part of two championship teams in his career and understands what it takes to win in our league. He has been an important and versatile member of our Club since 2012, and we’re glad to have him back.”

Barker continued,”It is fulfilling to be able to support a young man, and athlete, in achieving his academic ambitions. Now we expect that Matt Sewell will be ready to commit fully to our football team and being a Toronto Argonaut. We believe he has the talent to develop into a very good player one day and we are looking forward to seeing him in training camp.”
