The Montreal Alouettes have signed Canadian linebacker Tyrell Richards to a one-year extension through the 2026 season, the CFL team announced Tuesday.
The 27-year-old from Brampton, Ont., led the CFL with 30 special teams tackles in 18 games this past season.
He also recorded eight defensive tackles and forced one fumble.
Richards was selected first overall by the Alouettes at the 2022 CFL draft.
Montreal Alouettes general manager Danny Maciocia says Richards has become one of the top special teams players in the CFL.
The Alouettes also signed American receiver Austin Watkins Jr. to a two-year deal.
