TORONTO — The Toronto Argonauts signed receiver DaVaris Daniels and defensive lineman Folarin Orimolade to contract extensions Monday.

Daniels, 31, had 52 catches for a career-high 1,009 yards and eight touchdowns. Over seven CFL seasons spent with Calgary (2016-18), Edmonton (2019) and Toronto (2021-present), the former Notre Dame star has 336 receptions for 5,579 yards and 38 TDs in 99 regular-season games.
