Philpot is seventh in the CFL with 779 receiving yards with five touchdowns on 58 receptions this season.
The Calgary native helped the Alouettes win the Grey Cup last season against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, recording 63 receiving yards with a touchdown and was named the Grey Cup Most Valuable Canadian.
Philpot has 1,770 receiving yards with 12 touchdowns in three seasons with the Alouettes.
