\MONTREAL — The Montreal Alouettes have released receiver DeVier Posey and defensive back Tommie Campbell.
Posey, 29, just concluded his fourth season in the league. He first came north after signing with the Toronto Argonauts in 2016. He’d appear in four games for the Argos that season.
2017 was a breakout for the receiver. He had 52 catches for 744 yards and seven touchdowns while suiting up for 12 games. He capped off that season by hauling in seven of eight passes for 175 yards and a touchdown in the 105th Grey Cup presented by Shaw — that touchdown came off a 100-yard catch and run against Calgary. He was named the MVP of that game for his effort.
Posey was released by the Argos that off-season to pursue NFL opportunities. He returned after being a late cut by the Baltimore Ravens. He signed with the BC Lions midway through the 2018 season.
