TORONTO – It appears Shawn Lemon has found his CFL home, signing a contract extension that would keep him in Toronto through 2018.

The Toronto Argonauts announced the news Thursday after Lemon tied for second in the league with a career-high 14 quarterback sacks in 2016. The 28-year-old also five forced fumbles while recording 23 tackles and a fumble recovery.

Lemon was the Argonauts’ Most Outstanding Defensive Player this season and East Division All-Star after registering multiple sacks on five different occasions while recording the team’s highest single-season sack total since 2003 after arriving in Toronto via trade in Week 3.

In 63 regular season games over six CFL seasons, the Akron product has compiled 94 tackles, 42 sacks and 17 forced fumbles.

Lemon originally arrived in Toronto on July 2 via trade with the Saskatchewan Roughriders in exchange for national OL Matt Sewell and international QB Mitchell Gale. The Argonauts also received a conditional 2018 CFL Draft pick in the deal.

The Argonauts also announced today that the club has signed linebackers Trevonti Barber and Terrance Plummer.

Barber, a 6-foot-1, 233-pound native of Colquitt, Ga., played in 47 games at Middle Tennessee State, starting in 41 consecutive contests to finish his career with the Blue Raiders. In four seasons, the two-time First Team All-C-USA selection tallied 323 tackles (213 solo, 110 assisted), 34 tackles for a loss of 124 yards, eight quarterback sacks, seven interceptions, six forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries.

Plummer, a 6-foot-1, 241-pound native of West Palm Beach, Fla., arrives in Toronto after spending time with the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings and Washington Redskins. The 2013 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl MVP and first-team All-ACC selection registered 334 tackles (177 solo, 154 assisted), 30.5 tackles for a loss of 104 yards, 6.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and 18 pass knockdowns in four seasons at Central Florida.
