Alouettes sign QB Pickett, linemen

Mon 8th, March 2010

Montreal, QC (Sports Network) - The Montreal Alouettes have signed quarterback Cody Pickett to a two-year contract with an option, the team announced Monday.

Additionally, the Alouettes signed defensive end Gavin Walls and tackle Skip Seagraves to one-year contracts with options. Both Walls and Seagraves were recently released by the club.

Pickett spent the last three seasons with Toronto. In 2009, he started seven of 18 games and completed 145-of-235 passes for 1,553 yards and three touchdowns, with three interceptions.

Pickett entered professional football in 2004, when he was drafted by the NFL's San Francisco 49ers in the seventh round. He also spent time with the Houston Texans and Oakland Raiders before signing with the Argonauts in 2007.

Walls has five years of CFL experience, all with Winnipeg, and was an All-Star selection in 2005, when he was also named the league's Most Outstanding Rookie. Montreal acquired him from the Blue Bombers in February.

Seagraves has started 18 games at tackle since joining the Alouettes in 2006.
