Armstead has worked out for several teams over the past few weeks including the Eagles and Colts.
After missing the entire 2011 season at USC due to a heart attack, Armstead landed in the CFL 2012. In his debut season with the Argonauts, Armstead record six sacks and help lead them to a Grey Cup victory.
