The Montreal Alouettes have released veteran receiver Austin Mack ahead of his offseason roster bonus, sources have confirmed to 3DownNation. The Canadian Press was first to report the move. The 28-year-old was scheduled to receive $45,000 on February 1, the first part of a contract worth $211,000 in hard money for 2026. While general manager Danny Maciocia indicated earlier this month that the Alouettes could find a way to fit that deal under the salary cap if they so chose, he ultimately made the decision to part ways with Mack. Mack ranked third on the Alouettes last season with 48 receptions for 674 yards and two touchdowns. The Ohio State product was the ninth-highest-paid player at his position in 2025, but was limited to just 12 regular-season games due to injury and was hindered in the playoffs by a nagging hamstring issue. #MontreALS #Alouettes #AlsMTL #Montreal #CFL #CFLFA #Canadian #Football
