The Montreal Alouettes re-signed star wide receiver Tyson Philpot on Tuesday to a two-year contract.

Philpot was limited to 12 games last season, posting 61 catches for 804 yards and five touchdowns before a season-ending injury.

“This is excellent news for our team,” Alouettes general manager Danny Maciocia said in a team release. “Tyson is one of the best receivers in the league—he’s agile, fast, and if a ball comes near him, we know he’s going to catch it. He’s only 25; I believe he still hasn’t reached his ceiling. This is truly a great day for us.”

Philpot has spent the past four seasons with the Alouettes, posting all career-highs in 2025.

The 25-year-old native of Delta, B.C. scored the game-winning touchdown for the Alouettes to claim the Grey Cup in 2023.

Philpot was named the East Division’s Most Outstanding Rookie in 2022.
