Toronto Argonauts add Kennesaw State QB Amari Odom to negotiation list

The Toronto Argonauts have added American quarterback Amari Odom to their negotiation list.

The six-foot-four, 205-pound passer is currently a redshirt sophomore at Kennesaw State University, which is located slightly northwest of Atlanta, Ga. He has completed 71 percent of his passes for 959 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception with the Owls so far this season. Odom has also ran the ball 48 times for 198 yards and three scores.

The native of Inglewood, Calif. started his collegiate career at Wofford College where he completed 55 percent of his passes for 1,657 yards, seven touchdowns, and seven interceptions over nine games.

CFL teams can claim the rights to up to 45 players via the negotiation list on a first-come, first-served basis, provided that they are not eligible for the Canadian or Global Drafts, and have never played in the league before. These players can be added, traded, or removed from the list at any time.

Being added to a negotiation list does not mean that the player has expressed interest in the CFL, and some are unaware that their rights have even been claimed. Players can only force their removal from the list if the team does not provide them with a minimum contract offer at their request.

The Toronto Argonauts (5-13) missed the playoffs for the first time since 2019. The team has a bye in Week 21, which means they’ve already concluded their 2025 season.
