Armour lands in Calgary
Courtesy The Canadian Press:
JoJuan Armour isn’t a Montreal Alouette after all.
A source requesting anonymity told The Canadian Press on Monday that Armour has backed out of his verbal agreement with the Alouettes and opted to sign with the Calgary Stampeders.
Contract details were not immediately available.
Armour spent last season with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and became a free agent on Saturday. Edmonton, Montreal and Calgary were all interested in the six-foot, 225-pound linebacker, who had registered 84 tackles in 2007 with Hamilton. The Ticats opted to let Armour go to free agency because they’re planning on starting a Canadian - likely either Ray Mariuz or newly acquired Jason Botterill - in his spot.
On Saturday, however, Armour had reached an agreement with Montreal on a two-year deal. Two days later, though, he signed on with the Stampeders.
