Montreal Alouettes sign Canadian OL Gibbon to contract extension

MONTREAL – The Montreal Alouettes signed Canadian offensive lineman Jesse Gibbon to a one-year contract extension Thursday.

The deal leaves Gibbon under contract with the CFL club through the 2026 season.

The six-foot-four, 300-pound Gibbon appeared in 12 regular-season games last season, his second with Montreal. Gibbon, 27, of Hamilton, began his CFL career with the Tiger-Cats (2019, 2021-22) and also spent time with the Edmonton Elks (2022) before being dealt to the Alouettes before the 2023 campaign.
