Argos, Roughriders swap linemen Jarriel King, Andre Monroe

The Toronto Argonauts have acquired international defensive lineman Andre Monroe from the Saskatchewan Roughriders in exchange for the rights to international offensive lineman Jarriel King.

Monroe played in eight regular-season games, including seven starts, with Saskatchewan in 2015.

The 23-year old registered 17 defensive tackles, four quarterback sacks and two forced fumbles as a CFL rookie.

Prior to signing in Saskatchewan, the Washington native played four seasons at the University of Maryland, where he set a school record with 25 career sacks.

King joined the Argonauts prior to the 2013 season and played 29 games over parts of three seasons.
