The Toronto Argonauts have signed American defensive lineman Adrian Tracy to a one-year contract for the 2022 season.

The 34-year-old Tracy is coming out of retirement to play with the Argos after not getting the chance to play with Montreal, who he signed with prior to the 2020 season, due to the cancelled season.

The six-foot-three, 248-pounder spent five seasons with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (2015-2019) prior to his signing with the Alouettes. He tallied 139 tackles, 21 sacks, two interceptions and five forced fumbles in 58 career games with 51 starts.
