The 2015 Montreal Alouettes season was the 49th season for the team in the Canadian Football League and their 61st overall. The Alouettes finished with a 6–12 record and missed the playoffs for the first time since the franchise's re-activation in 1996.[1] The team's training camp began May 27 with veterans reporting on May 31 at Coulter Field at the campus of Bishop's University in Sherbrooke, Quebec.
The 2015 CFL Draft took place on May 12, 2015. The Alouettes had nine selections in the seven-round draft, including three within the first 13 picks. They acquired a first and third-round pick from the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for Ryan Bomben.[2] They also swapped their original third-round pick for Calgary's fourth-round pick in their acquisition of Larry Taylor.[3]
