EDMONTON — Eugene Lewis is on the move.

The East Division’s top player last season signed with the Edmonton Elks on Tuesday, the first day of CFL free agency.

Contract details weren’t divulged but Lewis, 29, reportedly signed a two-year contract worth over $300,000 annually.

The six-foot-one, 208-pound Lewis set career highs in catches (91), receiving yards (1,303) and touchdowns (10) last season in helping Montreal reach the East Division final for the first time since 2014.

Lewis was named an East Division all-star for a third straight year and secured league honours for the second consecutive season.
