Rice won another Grey Cup in 2024 when he joined the Toronto Argonauts as a free agent and dressed for 16 regular-season games, mostly in a depth role.<\/p>\n<p>The six-foot-five, 320-pound blocker originally went unselected in the 2013 CFL Draft out of the University of Manitoba but made the practice roster with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats that same year. Rice ended up spending six seasons with the team, dressing for 73 regular-season games.<\/p>\n<p>Rice was traded to the Montreal Alouettes in 2018 as part of the Johnny Manziel deal, but ended up being released. He signed back with the Tiger-Cats that same year.<\/p>\n<p>The Alouettes have also brought back linebacker K.D. Davis, who was released in September.
