FREE AGENCY DAY 2

Jennings has 980 completions for 12,497 yards and 66 touchdowns in 51 career games over four seasons with the B.C. Lions.

He had his most successful season in 2016, when the Columbus, Ohio, native threw for 5,226 yards and 27 touchdowns.

The move comes after former Ottawa quarterback Trevor Harris signed with Edmonton on Tuesday, the opening day of free agency.

“We are very excited to add a player of Jonathon’s pedigree to our roster,” Redblacks general manager Marcel Desjardins said in a statement. “His experience and ability will add depth and competition to the Redblacks QB position.”

Jennings joins a group of quarterbacks in Ottawa that includes Dominique Davis, Danny Collins and Will Ardnt.

LEMON BACK IN DOUBLE-BLUE

Shawn Lemon is back with the Toronto Argonauts.

The veteran American defensive lineman signed with Toronto for reportedly one year Wednesday after becoming a CFL free agent Tuesday. Lemon had 11 sacks in 2018 after splitting the season between the Argos and B.C.

Lemon has also spent time in the CFL with Saskatchewan (2011, 2016), Edmonton (2012), Calgary (2013, 2014) and Ottawa (2015). He was an East Division all-star in 2016 after registering a career-high 14 sacks and is a two-time Grey Cup champion.


ARGOS ADD TOBI ANTIGHA

The Toronto Argonauts announced Wednesday the club has signed International DE Tobi Antigha.

Antigha, 25, is coming off his second CFL season with the Saskatchewan Roughriders after playing in 17 games in 2018 and racking up 21 tackles, two sacks, and three interceptions, one of which was returned 52 yards for a touchdown. The Florida native played all 18 games in his 2017 rookie season and finished with 40 tackles and five sacks. The 6’2, 240-pounder played 39 games over four seasons at Presbyterian College in South Carolina as a receiver.

RIDERS SIGN VETERAN RECEIVER WATSON

The Saskatchewan Roughriders have signed Canadian free-agent Cory Watson to a one-year contract.

The six-foot-three, 211-pound Watson spent last season with B.C., registering 38 catches for 406 yards and three TDs. Watson, 34, is entering his ninth CFL campaign having also spent time with Winnipeg and Edmonton.

The native of Dollard des Ormeaux, Que., earned a Grey Cup ring with Edmonton in 2015. In 133 career CFL games, Watson has 328 receptions for 3,737 yards and 16 TDs.

LIONS ADD RUNNING BACK

The B.C. Lions have signed American running back John White to a one-year deal.

The five-foot-eight, 185-pound White had 400 yards on 78 carries for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats last year.

“John was another primary target of ours heading into this free agency period and we’re ecstatic to bring him into the fold,” Lions GM Ed Hervey said in a statement. “He runs with power, protects the passer when needed and can effectively catch the ball coming out of the backfield. Most importantly, John represents the kind of experience, depth and competition we want to have at every position on the field heading into training camp.”

Before joining Hamilton, White played four seasons for Edmonton.

STAMPS RE-SIGN LAW

The Calgary Stampeders have re-signed American defensive lineman Cordarro Law.

Law made nine starts for the Stamps at defensive end last season and recorded 16 tackles. He started both post-season games and recorded five tackles en route to the Grey Cup.

“When he’s been on field during his time with the Stampeders, Cordarro has been a disruptive force,” Stampeders president/GM John Hufnagel said in a statement. “He’s an important part of our defence and I look forward to seeing him have a healthy and productive season in 2019.”

Over two stints in Calgary, Law has played 31 regular-season games and recorded 22 sacks.
