Alouettes situation clearing up for coach Jones. MORE:
Slowly but surely, Khari Jones' muddled work life is coming more into focus.
"I'm very excited about that," Jones said this week from the CFL winter meetings in Collingwood, Ont."Gary already has some plans in place, which is great. Yet without new ownership and a full-time GM, Jones and football operations director Eric Deslauriers have spearheaded Montreal's off-season preparations. That includes re-evaluating the Alouettes' final roster, prioritizing their pending free agents and anticipating which players might be worth pursuing once CFL free agency begins Feb. 11.
Jones said he learned many valuable lessons last season, the most important being the value of communication. Montreal's next GM won't have time to settle into the position. The Alouettes have 27 pending free agents, including receiver Eugene Lewis , Canadian offensive linemen Kristian Matte and Landon Rice, defensive lineman Woody Baron and defensive back Patrick Levels.
