The Montreal Alouettes continue to focus on stability at quarterback. The organization has confirmed the one-season contract extension granted to Davis Alexander, tying the number 10 to the team until the end of the 2028 campaign.
This agreement adds to the three-year deal signed in November 2024, reinforcing the club's desire to build around a player who has continued to impress since his arrival in the CFL.
This shift had begun when general manager Danny Maciocia made a major trade, sending Cody Fajardo to the Edmonton Elks for McLeod Bethel-Thompson. The deal opened the door for Alexander to lead the forward line, a role he quickly made his own.
What followed was just as dazzling: seven more triumphs at the start of the 2025 season, setting a new record for the most consecutive victories to start a career, surpassing the old mark held by Danny McManus.
The playoffs continued this remarkable sequence, with Alexander orchestrating victories in the Eastern semi-finals and final. He came close to an even greater pinnacle, with the Alouettes losing 25-17 to the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the Grey Cup final.
A resilient 2025 season
Despite a nagging left hamstring injury that limited him to eight games in 2025, Alexander maintained an impressive level of effectiveness. The team posted a perfect 7-0 performance when he was a starter, compared to 3-8 in his absence.
This statistic alone sums up the importance of the quarterback in the Montreal offensive structure, and fully justifies the decision to extend his contract.
