The Toronto Argonauts have released veteran defensive lineman DeWayne Hendrix. The team made the announcement on Monday.
The 30-year-old signed with the team in January following his release from the B.C. Lions. He didn’t dress for any of the team’s first five regular-season games, spending time on the one-game injured list and reserve roster.
The six-foot-four, 275-pound defender played 13 regular-season games with the Lions last season and made 21 defensive tackles and four sacks. He was cut prior to receiving an offseason roster bonus.
