International linebacker Jovan Santos-Knox, 25, will be entering his second season with the Eskimos — last season, he missed the first 15 games but played in the final three game of the season.

 

Santos-Knox recorded 15 defensive plays consisting of 13 defensive tackles, one quarterback sack, and one special teams tackle.

Santos-Knox was a pending free-agent.

He previously played for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 2017 and 2018. Santos-Knox was born in Waterbury, Conn. and attended the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

The Eskimos also announced a one-year contract extension for Canadian receiver Anthony Parker. The 30-year-old missed the 2019 regular season and playoffs after suffering a ruptured Achilles in the Eskimos second pre-season game in Winnipeg on June 1.
