MISSISSAUGA– The Toronto Argonauts Football Club announced today that import RB Cory Boyd has been released by the team.
Commented Argonauts General Manager Jim Barker, “I would like to thank Cory for his many contributions to our club over the past few years. Releasing a player mid-season is never an easy thing to do and this decision was not made overnight. We have worked diligently to improve our football team during the past several months, and everything we have done has been with two goals in mind – competing for the Grey Cup and the long term, on-field success of this franchise – and this decision is no different. After evaluating our entire football team through the first third of the season, we felt this was one of the changes necessary to move our team forward. We believe a different style of play is needed at running back to heighten the success of our new offence and, considering the personnel we already have on our team, this move will help to improve the overall play of our offence and lead us to greater on-field success.”
Boyd joined the Argonauts in 2010 and played in 36 games over more than two seasons. He carried the ball 495 times for 2,947 yards and 14 touchdowns, and caught 83 passes for 551 yards and 4 touchdowns. He was named a CFL All-Star in his rookie season.
