The Toronto Argonauts acquired import wide receiver Maurice Mann in a trade with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Tuesday.
In return, the Argos sent import defensive back Dee Webb to Hamilton along with a conditional draft pick in 2013.
Mann, 29, had two touchdowns and 346 yards for Hamilton this season.
The six-foot-two, 190-pound veteran has 201 career catches for 2,577 yards and 17 touchdowns after three years with Edmonton and two with the Ticats.
"We are still looking to upgrade our receiving corps and we believe that (Mann) has the ability to helps us do that," said Toronto GM and head coach Jim Barker.
"Making this trade now, allows us to see him play and allows him to integrate himself within our system."
Mann was a fifth-round NFL draft pick by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2004 and also spent time with the Miami Dolphins, Seattle Seahawks, Minnesota Vikings, Cleveland Browns and Washington Redskins.
Webb, a 5-11, 190-pound 26-year-old, had 15 defensive tackles, seven special teams tackles and one interception in 11 games with the Argos this season.
"Dee Webb is a good, young player who can play in this league," said Barker. "This is a case where sometimes you have to give up good players to get good players."
