Alouettes extend quarterback Davis Alexander one year, through 2028 season

By Canadian Press on December 9, 2025.

MONTREAL — The Montreal Alouettes signed quarterback Davis Alexander to a one-year extension Tuesday, keeping him under contract through the 2028 season.

Alexander is coming off a historic CFL season, his first as a full-time starter.

The 27-year-old from Gig Harbor, Wash., went a perfect 7-0 in the regular season, extending his league-record undefeated start to a career to 11-0. He then led Montreal past the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the playoffs to reach the Grey Cup.

Montreal lost 25-17 to the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the title game as Alexander, hampered by a recurring hamstring injury, threw three interceptions.

The shifty, explosive QB finished the regular season with 2,024 passing yards — on 72.5 per cent completions — 10 touchdown throws and three interceptions in seven games. He missed multiple stretches because of the hamstring issue, and the Alouettes went 3-8 without him.

The Alouettes had signed Alexander to a three-year extension last off-season and later traded veteran and 2023 Grey Cup MVP Cody Fajardo to Edmonton, handing the offence to the young starter.

Alexander began the 2024 season as Montreal’s third-string quarterback, but went 4-0 as a starter while Fajardo missed time and led the Alouettes to a second-half comeback over the Roughriders off the bench.
