The Toronto Argonauts have officially re-signed quarterback Nick Arbuckle, reinforcing their roster with the veteran signal-caller, the team announced Tuesday.
Arbuckle, 31, played a pivotal role in the Argonauts’ championship run last season, earning the prestigious 111th Grey Cup Most Outstanding Player award. His leadership and precision passing helped Toronto secure a commanding 41-24 victory over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in November, bringing home the franchise’s CFL-record 19th championship title.
The veteran quarterback delivered an impressive performance in the Grey Cup final, completing 26 of 37 pass attempts for 252 yards and two touchdowns. His efficiency and composure under pressure played a crucial role in the team’s success, solidifying his value as a key playmaker for the Boatmen moving forward.
A native of Camarillo, Calif., Arbuckle rejoined the Argonauts as a free agent before the 2024 season, marking his return to Toronto after previously suiting up for the team in 2021. His familiarity with the organization and offensive system made him a valuable addition to the roster as the team aimed to build upon its championship momentum.
Arbuckle’s professional career has spanned six seasons in the CFL, featuring stints with multiple franchises. Alongside his time in Toronto, the Georgia State product has also played for the Calgary Stampeders, Edmonton Elks, and Ottawa Redblacks, gaining valuable experience across the league. His veteran presence and leadership qualities are expected to be instrumental as the Argonauts look to defend their title in the upcoming season.
