The Toronto Argonauts have added another NFL castoff.

Shaquille Richardson, 27, last played in the CFL with the Calgary Stampeders in 2017. He was one of the league’s best strong-side linebackers that year, recording 48 tackles, four interceptions, and one sack in 18 games.

Richardson signed with the Oakland Raiders that winter, but was cut following training camp. He most recently played for the Arizona Hotshots of the AAF.
