Canadian defensive back Royce Metchie has restructured his contract with the Toronto Argonauts.The 27-year-old was scheduled to earn a $30,000 off-season roster bonus on Jan. 15, per sources, as part of a contract worth $160,000 for the upcoming season. League sources indicated that Metchie was the subject of trade talks prior to renegotiating his deal, which will now pay him $140,000 in 2024.
Metchie earned $155,000 with the Argos in 2023, which made him the second-highest-paid defensive back in the CFL.
The five-foot-eleven, 197-pound defender started all 18 regular season games at safety for the Argos this past season, recording 72 defensive tackles, two forced fumbles, one interception, and one touchdown. He also started the team’s East Final loss to the Montreal Alouettes, making five tackles.
Metchie was a third-round pick of the Calgary Stampeders in the 2018 CFL Draft. He spent four years with the team prior to being traded to the Argonauts in February 2022 in exchange for Canadian linebacker Cameron Judge. He won the Grey Cup with Toronto that same season as a full-time starter.
The University of Guelph product was born in Nigeria before being raised primarily in Brampton, Ont. His younger brother, John Metchie III, plays receiver for the Houston Texans.
Metchie has made 223 defensive tackles, 13 special teams tackles, seven interceptions, three forced fumbles, and one touchdown over the course of 66 career CFL games.
