Argonauts sign hometown quarterback Brandon Bridge

Canadian quarterback Brandon Bridge signed with his hometown Toronto Argonauts on Sunday afternoon.

The Mississauga, Ont., native joins the Argos after playing eight games for Saskatchewan last season, throwing for 804 yards and a touchdown.

The six-foot-five, 235-pound QB was selected in the fourth round of the 2015 CFL Draft by Montreal getting in two games as a rookie for the Alouettes.

Bridge signed with the Roughriders in 2016 and a year later became the first Canadian QB to throw for at least three touchdowns in a game in over 30 years when he led Saskatchewan to a road win in Hamilton.
