Mississauga – Showing
its commitment to the quarterback position, the Toronto Argonauts
Football Club is pleased to announce that it has extended

Remarked Kerry Joseph,
“I am excited about this extension and thankful to the Argonauts
organization which has gone above and beyond to get this deal done at a
fast pace. Both the Argonauts and the City of Toronto have welcomed me
with open arms and I’m looking forward to going out and playing for
this organization which has done so much for me. I am so happy to be an
Argonaut.”

been one of my better experiences negotiating a contract. Kerry wanted
to be here and we wanted him here. We plan on having him be a part of
the Argos for awhile. This cements the best 1-2 combination at the
quarterback position in the league.”
Toronto Argonauts’ Head Coach Rich Stubler
