The Montreal Alouettes have signed American receiver Terique Owens, the son of former NFL star Terrell Owens.
The six-foot-three, 200-pound target went unselected in the 2024 NFL Draft but had a stint on the practice roster with the San Francisco 49ers that same year. He returned to the 49ers in 2025 but was cut at the conclusion of training camp.
The 26-year-old finished his collegiate career at Missouri State University, making 46 catches for 765 yards and four touchdowns over 26 games. His best season came in 2023 when he caught 28 passes for 528 yards and four scores. The native of Pleasanton, Calif. previously played at Florida Atlantic University.
Terrell Owens played 15 seasons in the NFL as a member of the 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills, and Cincinnati Bengals. He caught 1,078 passes for 15,934 yards and 98 touchdowns, earning six Pro Bowl selections, five first-team All-Pro selections, and leading the league in receiving yards three times.
The native of Alexander City, Ala. has since been inducted into the San Francisco 49ers Hall of Fame and the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
In 2018, the then-44-year-old considered making a return to professional football and was added to Edmonton’s negotiations list. He even hired a Canadian agent, though he never ended up signing a contract north of the border.
The Alouettes have also signed American receiver and return specialist Phillip Brooks.
The five-foot-eight, 171-pound speedster played two regular-season games with the B.C. Lions in 2025, returning 12 punts for 76 yards and seven kickoffs for 183 yards. The 26-year-old also had a stint with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, though he didn’t see any regular-season action with the team.
The native of Lee’s Summit, Mo. played five collegiate seasons at Kansas State University where he caught 182 passes for 2,127 yards and 14 touchdowns. He also returned 57 punts for 712 yards and four touchdowns and 44 kickoffs for 847 yards.
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.
The Montreal Alouettes announced today the signing of American wide receiver Terique Owens for two years (2026-2027). He is the son of Pro Football Hall-of-fame receiver Terrell Owens. The team also signed American wide receiver/kick returner Phillip Brooks.
