In August, and again in December, the NFL will send two teams to Toronto for the purposes of playing a football game.

But Canadians won’t have to wait that long to watch (previously) high-end football players do their thing on non-U.S. soil.

Receiver David Boston, a first-round pick of the Arizona Cardinals in 1999 and the recipient of a big-money free-agent contract with the Chargers several years later, has signed with the CFL’s Toronto Argonauts.

Most recently, Boston was cut by the Bucs after a DUI arrest. The 29-year-old wideout has also played for the Dolphins.

Canada is a refuge of sorts for NFL players who, for whatever reason, can no longer get it done in the NFL. But Boston seems to be even more of a risk than usual; he hasn’t played football of any kind since 2005.
