The Montreal Alouettes announced have signed Canadian offensive lineman Philippe Gagnon to a one-year contract extension, tying him to the team through 2024. He was a pending free agent.

“Philippe gives us depth at a crucial position in football,” said general manager Danny Maciocia in a statement. “Whatever the mission is, we’re comfortable with him. He will be playing a sixth season with us and he knows our playbook well. We are happy to count on his services in 2024.”

The six-foot-four, 311-pound blocker played 11 games with the Alouettes this past season, making one regular season start at guard. He stepped into a starting role again during the postseason, starting the East Semi-Final, East Final, and Grey Cup to help Montreal end their championship drought.
