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.
