Argos say " goodbye Cleo ". Sometimes you just can't make lemonade out of Lemons !
MISSISSAUGA, Ont. -- The Cleo Lemon era with the Toronto Argonauts is over.
The Argos have released the veteran quarterback less than two seasons after signing him to be their starter.
The former NFL pivot appeared in 25 regular-season and two playoff games with Toronto, compiling a 11-14 record overall.
Toronto was just 2-6 with him under centre this season.
The Argos released Lemon after he was benched in the second half of their 29-16 home loss to the B.C. Lions on Friday night.
Lemon was 11-of-15 passing versus the Lions for just 57 yards.
The move comes with veteran quarterback Steven Jyles scheduled to come off the nine-game injury list this week. Argos head coach/GM Jim Backer has said Jyles will immediately be added to the Argos' 46-man roster.
Lemon completed 430-of-680 passes with Toronto (63.2 per cent) for 5,069 yards but had more interceptions (23) than touchdowns (22).
Toronto also added rookie quarterback Zack Eskridge on the practice roster
