The 2019 Montreal Alouettes season will be the 53rd season for the team in the Canadian Football League and their 65th overall. The Alouettes will attempt to improve upon their 5–13 record from 2018, make the playoffs for the first time since 2014, and win their eighth Grey Cup championship. If personnel remain the same, this would be the second season under head coach, Mike Sherman, and the third season under general manager, Kavis Reed.[1]
The Alouettes will also enter the season with significantly different home and away uniforms for the first time since the 2000 season.[2] The club also announced a change in stadium seating with gameday capacity at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium being reduced from 23,430 to 20,025 seats and average ticket prices being reduced from $84 to $75.[3]
Offseason
CFL Draft
The 2019 CFL Draft will take place in the Spring of 2019. The Alouettes will select second in each round of the draft, less any traded and forfeited picks, by virtue of finishing second-last in the league standings. The club forfeited their first-round selection after selecting Tyler Johnstone in the 2018 Supplemental Draft.[4] They also traded away their second-round pick to Hamilton as part of the Ryan Bomben and Jamal Robinson trade.[5] The Alouettes upgraded their scheduled third-round pick to a second-round pick by trading Tyrell Sutton to the BC Lions and acquired another second-round pick by trading Chris Ackie to the Ottawa Redblacks.[6][7] The Alouettes re-acquired a third-round selection by trading Vernon Adams to the Saskatchewan Roughriders (who eventually re-joined the Alouettes as a free agent in 2018).[8] The club may also have fulfilled a condition after Adarius Bowman played the rest of the 2018 season with the Alouettes, which would send an eighth-round pick to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.[9]
The table below is subject to change once the draft order is set and conditional draft pick trades are publicly known.
