The off-season tinkering continued today for the Edmonton Eskimos.
The team has announced the signing of 31-year-old import defensive lineman Anthony Maddox, who was most recently the property of the NFL's Houston Texans.
The six-foot-two, 295-pound lineman was a fifth round draft pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2004, where he spent two seasons before signing in Houston. Maddox has 57 career tackles, five quarterback sacks, one pass knockdown, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery for a touchdown.
If he cracks the roster after training camp, this will be the Moultrie, Georgia, native's first season in the CFL.
