The Toronto Argonauts signed receiver Armanti Edwards to a two-year contract extension Monday.

Edwards was scheduled to become a free agent next month.

“Armanti has a great team-first attitude, relentless work ethic and is a very talented athlete which allowed him to excel in our offence last season,” Argos GM Jim Popp said in a statement. “We are excited to welcome him back and look forward to seeing him continue to grow in years to come.”
