Wide receiver S.J. Green signs two-year deal with Toronto Argonauts
TORONTO — S.J. Green is sticking with Jim Popp and Marc Trestman.
The veteran receiver signed a contract extension through the 2019 season with the Toronto Argonauts on Monday. The 32-year-old native of Brandon, Fla., was scheduled to become a free agent Feb. 13.
It was Popp who brought Green into the CFL in ’07 with the Montreal Alouettes, then shortly after becoming Toronto’s GM last year traded for the veteran receiver despite Green missing most of 2016 with a serious knee injury. Trestman has been the head coach for six of those seasons and the three have combined to win three Grey Cups (2009-10, 2017).
“I said it last year when I got traded here I wouldn’t want to do this with anybody else but Jim and Marc,” Green said Monday night while attending CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie’s town hall visit with Argos fans. “For them to continue believing in me and wanting me in this organization and continuing to be a part of this team is a great feeling.
