The Montreal Alouettes announced Thursday that they have signed offensive linemen Jeff Perrett to a three-year contract extension and Philip Blake to a three-year deal.

Perrett, a 2014 finalist for CFL's Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman, is now under contract through the 2017 season.

He started all 18 games for Montreal last season, helping the Alouettes allow the second-fewest sacks in the CFL with 31, including only eight in the final 10 games.

Perrett was the Alouettes' third round pick in 2008.

"Jeff is not only an outstanding football player for our team, but he is also one of the most respected players in the locker room for his leadership and his infectious personality," declared Alouettes General Manager, Jim Popp in a team release. "He is a very important part for us to retain in order to have continued success on the field and in the community."

The Alouettes also announced that the club has signed national offensive lineman Philip Blake to a three-year deal.

Blake was drafted by the Alouettes in the third round of the 2011 CFL Draft. After being drafted, he returned to Baylor University for his senior season, where he was named to the first team All-Big 12 after blocking for Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III.

Blake started all 38 games in his three seasons at Baylor before being drafted in the fourth round (108th overall) by the Denver Broncos.

After two seasons with the Broncos, Blake spent the 2013 season on the Arizona Cardinals practice squad.

"Philip will bring versatility up and down the offensive line all while adding to the depth of our already solid, and only all-National offensive line in the CFL. We welcome Philip to the Alouettes and look forward in seeing him in action at training camp," said Popp.

Prior to attending Baylor, Blake played for the Champlain-Lennoxville Cougars in the Cegep AAA league of Quebec.
