TORONTO — The Toronto Argonauts announced on Friday that the team has signed American defensive lineman Ralph Holley.
Holley (six-foot-one, 285 pounds) returns to Toronto after leaving for an opportunity with the Cleveland Browns in January. The Western Michigan product joined the Argos late in 2023, but when he got his chance to play in 2024, he did not disappoint.
