MONTREAL -- The Montreal Alouettes avoided losing one of its most valuable assets on defence today, re-signing safety Étienne Boulay to a two-year contract.
A two-time Grey Cup champion with the Alouettes in 2009 and 2010, Boulay was limited to four games due to a concussion last season.
Now entering his seventh CFL season, all spent with the Alouettes, Boulay has amassed 127 defensive tackles, 43 special teams tackles and 11 interceptions over the course of his career.
The 28-year-old Montreal native was a second-round selection at the 2006 Canadian Draft.
The Alouettes also announced that they have signed import receiver Adam Mims.
Mims caught 55 passes for 724 yards and five touchdowns in his senior year at Furman University in 2010.
The 5-foot-8 195-pound receiver finished his college career as the school's all-time leader for receptions (198) and receiving yards (2,433). A 23-year-old native of Birmingham, AL, Mims was signed as a free agent by the Pittsburgh Steelers before attending their training camp in 2011
