The Edmonton Eskimos made four cuts to their roster Monday afternoon, and among them is veteran defensive end Marcus Howard who spent the last seven seasons with the green and gold.
Howard joined the Eskimos in the 2011 season and recorded 11 quarterback sacks in 13 games. Injuries plauged Howard over his career as he played just 56 games in between the 2012 and 2017 seasons and missed 52 games. Overall, Howard recorded 35 sacks in 69 games played in his career with the Eskimos and helped the team to a Grey Cup title in 2015.
Also released on Monday were defensive end Philip Hunt, defensive back Cauchy Muamba, and offensive lineman Danny Groulx. Hunt spent the last two seasons with the Eskimos, while Muamba played most of the the last four seasons with the team and was a part of the 2015 Grey Cup win.
