The Montreal Alouettes have signed starting quarterback Davis Alexander to a one-year contract extension through the 2028 season.

The 27-year-old inked a three-year contract extension last December which ran through the 2027 campaign.

Alexander started seven regular season games for the Als in 2025. He completed 72.4 percent of his passes for 2,024 yards with 10 touchdowns and three interceptions. The dual threat QB added 12 carries for 110 yards with one major along the ground.

The five-foot-11, 210-pound pivot went a perfect 7-0 as a starter in the regular season to set the CFL record for most consecutive wins to begin a career by a quarterback at 11-0. Despite a lingering left hamstring injury, he led Montreal to two playoff wins and an appearance in the 112th Grey Cup.

“We’re thrilled that we were able to come to an agreement on an extension with Davis and his camp,” general manager Danny Maciocia said in a statement. “We’re committed to him and he’s committed to this team, the city of Montreal and the province of Quebec. In his first year as our starting quarterback, Davis performed brilliantly. We’re excited to see where he’ll lead us over the next few years.”

The rising star produced a perfect 4-0 win-loss record as a starter in 2024 while Cody Fajardo was sidelined with a hamstring injury. He completed 105-of-151 passes (69.5 percent) for 1,347 yards with six touchdowns versus three interceptions while rushing 24 times for 166 yards, 6.6 per carry, plus three majors. His passer rating checked in at 104.9.

Alexander initially signed with the Als in 2022. He suited up for one game in his rookie year, Week 21 against the Toronto Argonauts, completing 8-of-13 passes for 89 yards with one interception while rushing five times for 22 yards and one TD. In his second season, the six-foot, 195-pound QB dressed for 18 games, completing 6-of-8 passes for 56 yards.

The Gig Harbour, Washington native played his NCAA football at Portland State University from 2017 to 2021. He completed 58 percent of his passes for 9,215 yards with 63 touchdowns versus 31 interceptions while rushing 362 times for 1,258 yards with 25 touchdowns in 41 games.

It’s the fifth key signing in the current off-season by the Alouettes. Montreal has already extended starting offensive linemen Donny Ventrelli and Pier-Olivier Lestage, receiver Tyson Philpot and kicker Jose Maltos Diaz.
