VANCOUVER — The B.C. Lions have signed free agent defensive back Marcus Sayles to a three-year contract.
In 34 games over two seasons (2018-19) with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, the native of Alpharetta, Ga., recorded 136 tackles, six interceptions, five forced fumbles, two sacks plus a pair of defensive touchdowns.
Sayles, who was named a West Division all-star in 2019, had a team-leading six defensive tackles in the Bombers’ victory over Hamilton in the 107th Grey Cup.
The five-foot-nine, 176-pound Sayles spent most of 2020 on the Minnesota Vikings practice squad after signing with the team last January.
