The Ottawa Redblacks bolstered their linebacker depth on Tuesday by signing free agent Greg Jones.

The 28-year-old international linebacker and Michigan State alumnus has three years experience in the Canadian Football League, including stints with the Toronto Argonauts in 2014-15 and last season with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Jones, 6-0 and 240 pounds, was released by Saskatchewan in April.

His best season was in 2015, when he had 93 tackles, an interception and a forced fumble and was named an East Division all-star.

With no injuries at the linebacker position, this appears to be a depth move by the Redblacks (5-7-1), who play their next game in Winnipeg against the Blue Bombers on Friday night.

The Redblacks also announced the signing of international defensive back DaQuan Pace. The 21-year-old, standing 5-9 and weighing 170 pounds, played U.S. college football at Eastern Michigan between 2013 and 2016.
