Alouettes of CFL release Mahelona

STORY TOOLS

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.
