While John Bowman, one of the Alouettes’ oldest players, contemplates his future two other greybeards said they plan to continue playing.

Stefan Logan and Chip Cox certainly hope that means they return to Montreal.

“I’ll retire when I feel like retiring,” a defiant Cox, the Als’ strong-side linebacker, said Sunday. “I’ll feel like I’m getting old when my numbers start to decline.”

Cox, 35, re-signed with the team in June but, coming off a knee injury, agreed to only a one-year contract, making him eligible to become a free agent in February. But he has also spent his entire 12-year Canadian Football League career with the Als, never displaying an inclination to play for a rival club.

Cox just completed a solid season. He was third on the team in tackles, with 98. He also was one of four Montreal players to tie for the team lead in sacks, with five. He recovered two fumbles, while forcing three others.
