The Toronto Argonauts have extended the contract of American defensive back Robertson Daniel and signed American receiver Earnest Edwards.

Daniel played just two games in 2021 due to an injury and posted five defensive tackles and one interception. The six-foot-one, 205-pound defender spent his first CFL season with Calgary in 2019 where he tallied 21 defensive tackles, six special teams tackles, and three interceptions in eight games that season.

The 30-year-old joined Toronto via a pre-free agency trade with Calgary in 2021 that also saw the playing rights to Eric Rogers and Cordarro Law included in the deal. Daniel spent time in the NFL with various clubs including Oakland, Green Bay, Baltimore, and Washington between 2015 and 2019.
