Toronto Argonauts News Release
Mississauga - The Toronto Argonauts Football Club announced today that import DB Lin-J Shell has been released.
Commented Argonauts' General Manager Jim Barker, "Lin-J has been a great player for us but with a new defensive scheme and philosophy planned for this season, and operating within the salary management system, he is no longer a fit for our team. We would like to thank Lin-J for his contributions and wish him continued success."
Shell joined the Argonauts in 2009 and started 53 regular season games and two playoff games over three seasons. In total, he made 222 defensive tackles, 7 interceptions, 14 passes knocked down, 4 quarterback sacks and 7 fumble recoveries.
