TORONTO — Wynton McManis will help the Toronto Argonauts defend their Grey Cup title.
The veteran linebacker re-signed with the CFL club Sunday, less than an hour after the league's free-agent window opened. McManis was slated to become a free agent Feb. 11.
Contract details weren't made available.
The six-foot-one, 225-pound McManis appeared in 12 regular-season games in 2024. He recorded 57 tackles, three special-teams tackles, one sack, an interception returned for a TD and two fumble recoveries.
McManis had a team playoff record-tying 10 tackles in Toronto's East Division semifinal win over Ottawa then capped his season with six tackles and an interception in the Argos' 41-24 Grey Cup win over Winnipeg.
McManis signed with Toronto before the '22 season. He has registered 224 tackles, 11 special-teams tackles, eight sacks, three fumble recoveries, one forced fumble and scored three TDs over 42 regular-season contests.
He has also helped Toronto win two Grey Cups (2022, '24). McManis began his CFL career with the Calgary Stampeders (2017-19) and also spent time in the NFL with New Orleans (2020-21) and Miami (2021).
