CFL NOTEBOOK

MONTREAL – American defensive back Wesley Sutton signed a two-year deal with the Montreal Alouettes on Monday.

The five-foot-11, 194-pound Sutton had a team-high 79 tackles last season with Montreal.

The East Division all-star also recorded four sacks, two forced fumbles and an interception.

“We are happy to know we will be able to depend on Wesley for two more seasons, as he had an excellent 2022 campaign and keeps progressing,” said Alouettes GM Danny Maciocia.

“Opposing offences must constantly be weary of him when they take the field.”

Montreal also signed American rookie receiver Trevon Bradford.

OTTAWA – The Ottawa Redblacks re-signed Canadian fullback Anthony Gosselin to a one-year deal.

Gosselin, 30, is entering his sixth CFL season, all spent with the Redblacks. The native of Otterburn, Que., has 13 catches for 77 yards and 11 special-teams tackles over 59 career regular-season games.

Ottawa selected Gosselin in the second round, No. 18 overall, in the 2017 CFL draft out of Sherbrooke.
