MONTREAL — The Montreal Alouettes signed kicker Jose Maltos Diaz to a contract extension Thursday.

The deal keeps the five-foot-10, 221-pound Maltos Diaz with the CFL club through 2027.

Maltos Diaz connected on a club-record 58 field goals this past season with Montreal. He made a 58-yard field goal — a club record — during a regular-season game against Calgary and was the CFL’s leading scorer with 210 points.

Next season will be Maltos Diaz’s fourth in Montreal after starting his CFL career in 2019 with the Ottawa Redblacks.

EDMONTON — The Edmonton Elks signed defensive linemen Robbie Smith and Jordan Williams to contract extensions.

Smith has appeared in 90 career regular-season games, recording 143 tackles, 20 sacks, one interception, and three forced fumbles.

Williams, an American, joined the Elks midway through the ’25 season after being released by Toronto. He appeared in a combined 14 games, recording 13 tackles and scoring on a 77-yard fumble return.
