The Montreal Alouettes have signed Canadian offensive lineman Cyrille Hogan-Saindon to a two-year contract extension, tying him to the team through 2027.

The six-foot-four, 310-pound blocker played nine regular-season games with the Alouettes in 2025, his first season with the team. He made four starts at centre while Justin Lawrence was out of the lineup due to injury.

“Cyrille is a solid veteran who has adapted well to our team since his arrival,” said general manager Danny Maciocia in a statement. “When we call on him, he gets the job done. His attitude is exemplary.”

The 28-year-old native of Quebec City, Que. was originally a second-round pick in the 2022 CFL Draft out of Université Laval. He spent three seasons with the Ottawa Redblacks, dressing for 45 regular-season games.

Hogan-Saindon won a Vanier Cup with the Rouge et Or in 2018 and was named an RSEQ all-star in 2021.

The Montreal Alouettes finished second in the East Division standings in 2025 with a 10-8 record and beat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the East Final before losing the 112th Grey Cup to the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Davis Alexander went 7-0 as a starter during the regular-season, though he missed 11 games due to a hamstring injury.

The Alouettes ranked eighth in net offence, first in net defence, and third with a turnover differential of plus-eight. The club’s leading rusher was Stevie Scott III with 418 yards, leading receiver was Tyler Snead with 1,129 yards, and leading tackler was Darnell Sankey with 103 tackles. Montreal finished sixth in attendance with average crowds of 21,132, which was a 0.8 percent decrease from the previous year.
