Story summary

The Montreal Alouettes strengthened their defensive line by acquiring veteran American Julian Howsare from the Hamilton Tiger-Cats ahead of the CFL trade deadline. In exchange for Howsare, who was the East Division’s top defensive player last year, Montreal gave up a 2027 seventh-round draft pick to Hamilton. Additionally, earlier that day, Montreal signed another veteran defensive lineman, Dylan Wynn. The Ticats received a 2027 fifth-round pick in return for Howsare and were officially eliminated from playoff contention after losing to the Edmonton Elks last week. Julian Howsare's acquisition is seen as crucial by the Alouettes' general manager Danny Maciocia, who highlighted Howsare’s league experience and his potential impact on opposing offenses. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats president of football operations, Orlondo Steinauer, acknowledged Howsare's significant contributions to the team both on and off the field.
