The Toronto Argonauts have signed Canadian defensive lineman J-Min Pelley.
The six-foot-five, 350-pound defender played 11 games with the Edmonton Elks last season and made five starts, recording six defensive tackles. He was released by the team in February.
The 27-year-old native of Calgary, Alta. was a supplemental draft pick in 2022 as the Elks forfeited a second-round pick to secure his rights. Over 29 career regular-season games, he has made 25 defensive tackles.
Pelley played collegiately at the University of Calgary where he was named a second-team All-Canadian and won a Vanier Cup in 2019.
The Toronto Argonauts (0-3) will visit the Ottawa Redblacks (1-2) at TD Place Stadium on Sunday, June 29 with kickoff slated for 7:00 p.m. EDT.
