Linebacker Bear Woods flew to Toronto Monday night, per sources, a strong indication he could sign with the Argonauts.

The two-time East Division Most Outstanding Defensive Player was released by the Montreal Alouettes at 5:30 a.m. Monday morning. Signing with the Argonauts would reunite him with general manager Jim Popp, who originally brought the 30-year-old into the league back in 2011, and head coach Marc Trestman.

Woods, 30, is coming off a season where he racked up a career-high 126 tackles in 18 games and added five sacks, three forced fumbles and two interceptions.
