The Toronto Argonauts have signed American defensive lineman John Daka.

The 26-year-old native of Upper Marlboro, Md. most recently spent time with the XFL’s Houston Roughnecks in 2023 and made 26 tackles and 4.5 sacks over 10 games.

The six-foot-two, 240-pound defender went unselected in the 2020 NFL Draft before stints with the Baltimore Ravens, New York Jets, Los Angeles Rams, and Chicago Bears, though he never dressed for a regular season NFL game.
