The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have signed veteran American linebacker Jonathan Jones to a one-year contract.
Jones joins the Blue Bombers after spending the last three years with the Toronto Argonauts, who released him on January 16.
The Florida native, 27, appeared in 12 games last season with the Argos, six of them starts, and registered 29 tackles, eight more on special teams and one forced fumble. He missed the last five regular season games and playoffs with a hamstring injury.
Jones started games at both middle and weak-side linebacker over his three seasons with Toronto and appeared in 36 games with 88 defensive tackles, as well as 26 on special teams, eight sacks, three interceptions and one forced fumble.
