Alouettes sign new deals with LB Hebert, long-snapper Bedard, kicker Whyte
MONTREAL – The Montreal Alouettes locked up a key piece of their offensive line Tuesday by signing a new deal with left tackle Josh Bourke.
The 31-year-old, a two-time CFL lineman of the year, was among the most coveted free agents on the market.
The Windsor, Ont., native will be especially important to a team that has lost veteran quarterback Anthony Calvillo to retirement and is expected to go with the less experienced Troy Smith and Tanner Marsh this season.
No details of the signing were immediately available. Bourque was drafted in the third round in 2004 and is entering his eighth year with Montreal.
The Alouettes also inked new deals with linebacker Kyries Hebert, long snapper Martin Bedard and kicker Sean Whyte.
Hebert and Bedard signed three-year deals while White signed for two.
