MONTREAL — The Montreal Alouettes signed American quarterback Caleb Evans to a one-year contract extension, the team announced on Friday. Evans was scheduled to become a free agent in February.
Evans (six-foot-two, 210 pounds) finished the 2024 season with 307 passing yards, completing 26 of his 45 attempts and scoring four touchdowns in eight games. On the ground, the 26-year-old ran 26 times for 55 yards and four majors. He suffered a season-ending knee injury last August.
“Caleb has been with us for two years and has integrated well into our team,” says Alouettes general manager Danny Maciocia. “He is capable of playing an important role on our team, and regardless of the playbook, we know he will do what is asked of him. He’s a solid insurance policy at quarterback in our eyes.”
