MONTREAL — The Montreal Alouettes have signed veteran defensive lineman Shawn Lemon, the CFL club announced Monday.

He signed with the B.C. Lions in free agency but was released midway through training camp.

He ranks 15th in CFL history with 92 sacks and has won two Grey Cups (Calgary 2014, Toronto 2017).
