02/15/2012 - Mississauga, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Toronto Argonauts re-signed free agent linebacker Jason Pottinger on Wednesday, keeping him with the club through the 2013 season.

"We are happy to be able to keep Jason in his hometown of Toronto. His athleticism, intelligence and leadership make him a valuable asset to our team," said Argos general manager Jim Barker. "His dedication to the Argos was never more evident than last season, when he played through an ACL injury, where many others would have not have even attempted to play. He represents everything an Argo should be and it was important for us to keep him here."

Pottinger suffered that knee injury in the 2011 season opener but returned in Week 10. He finished with 34 tackles and a pair of forced fumbles.

The former second-overall pick of British Columbia in 2006, the 28-year-old has totaled 162 tackles and five sacks with the Lions (2006-08) and Argonauts (2009-present).

"It's about time we bring pride back to the Double Blue and a Grey Cup to our dedicated fans," Pottinger said. "It's great to be able to continue to play in front of my family and friends and nothing would be sweeter than competing for a Grey Cup on home soil this year."
