The Montreal Alouettes have signed American defensive tackle Mustafa Johnson to a two-year contract extension, tying him to the franchise through 2025.

The six-foot-two, 290-pound defender was named an East Division all-star this past season after recording 43 defensive tackles, seven sacks, one fumble recovery, and one touchdown over 18 games. In 2022, he made 18 defensive tackles and two sacks as a CFL rookie.

“I am glad to be back with the Alouettes. I feel like Montreal is my home and I appreciate the confidence that the team puts in me,” said Johnson in a statement. “I look forward to working with the team to win another championship. There is a lot of talent in this locker room.”
