The Montreal Alouettes have brought veteran linebacker Darnell Sankey back to the CFL, inking the veteran to a one-year deal, according to TSN.
Sankey, a native of San Jose, Calif., is coming off a championship campaign, having helped the Arlington Renegades capture the XFL championship back in May of this year, collecting 47 tackles and a sack to pace the Renegades to a 4-6 record and a second place finish in the South Division.
Sankey had a club-record 120 tackles in 2022 with the Saskatchewan Roughrider, also chipping in three sacks, two forced fumbles, an interception and two special-teams tackles. Sankey had a CFL-high 98 tackles with the Calgary Stampeders while adding a sack and one forced fumble the season prior to that.
Following the 2022 season Sankey turned down a contract offer with Saskatchewan before heading to the XFL.
