The Toronto Argonauts announced Tuesday the team has parted ways with veteran wide receiver Brandon Banks. Banks was a part of Toronto's Grey Cup championship team last season.

The move wasn't entirely surprising given Banks hinted Dec. 31 that something could be coming.
"Thanks @TorontoArgos great doing business!" he tweeted. "And thanks for the opportunity to do what my only goal was … to b a champ ! — speedy B."
Banks, 35, had 37 catches for 522 yards and four TDs in helping Toronto capture a Grey Cup title last season, Banks' first championship in Canada. He joined the Argos after eight seasons with the archrival Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
The five-foot-seven, 150-pound Banks Banks had 422 catches for 5,678 yards and 44 TDs in 111 career regular-season contests over nine years in Hamilton. He was a league all-star four times and in 2019 captured the CFL's outstanding player award after registering a club-record 112 catches for 1,550 yards and 13 TDs.
Banks also played in four Grey Cup games with Hamilton, all losses. Banks now becomes a CFL free agent.
