Avery Pro-Staffer Jude St. John signs new contract with Argonauts!

The Canadian Football League free-agency market opened early this morning, but the Argos were able to re-sign Offensive lineman Jude St. John just before the deadline.
Jude St. John agreed in principle to a new long-term deal. Jude agreed to a 4 year deal with the Argonauts. He has already played with them for 8 years.
In all likelihood, this will be his last contract as he will be 37 when it is finished. Jude has played a total of 11 years in the CFL and the new contract will make it an even 15 years.
"I'm happy to be back," he said. "To be honest, there wasn't one single thing. As the day wore on, you think about who your teammates are, where your family is going to live. You do think of the financial issue and (the Argos) came up part of the way."
The 33-year-old St. John, who regularly commutes to Toronto from his home in London, had indicated earlier in the day that the whole process of whether or not to re-sign had become a mental and emotional strain.
Congrats go out to Jude!
