Main reason why Montreal Alouettes made Dustin Crum a top CFL free agent target
Montreal Alouettes made improving their backup QB spot a top priority for 2026 — and Dustin Crum was their clear choice.
GM Danny Maciocia, HC Jason Maas, and OC Anthony Calvillo spent months evaluating candidates, looking for a QB with CFL experience, proven starts, and traits similar to starter Davis Alexander.
Crum, who has 20 CFL starts and a reputation for toughness and competitiveness, signed a one-year deal with a $50K signing bonus and $140K in base salary, plus additional playtime incentives. Maciocia emphasized the importance of a reliable No. 2: “Number two can be number one real quick.”
Maas added, “Dustin competes on every play, is mentally and physically tough, and can win in tough situations — just like Davis.” Crum’s experience with the Ottawa Redblacks, including multiple starts against Montreal, made him a perfect fit as insurance behind their rising star.
