The Montreal Alouettes of the CFL made their final cuts Saturday and released former University of Tennessee defensive tackle Jesse Mahelona.

Mahelona joined the Alouettes on June 14.

The 6-foot, 310-pound Mahelona was a fifth-round draft choice of the Tennessee Titans in 2006 and had 21 tackles and a sack in 10 games as a rookie.

Mahelona was released by the Titans before the 2007 season started. He was signed by Miami in October but was released a week later by the Dolphins. He joined Atlanta on Nov. 20 and was inactive in four of five games before he was released by the Falcons.
