A contract dispute with the Dolphins led him to sign with the Montreal Alouettes, who, under the ownership of Nelson Skalbania, tried to buy a big money winning team.
Purchased over a span of 10 years: 31 different Eaton's properties/stores across Canada from Victoria, B.C. to Moncton, N.B. The larger ones included a downtown Vancouver Store, (redeveloped, constructed $100M project downtown Winnipeg catalogue store, redeveloped into $50M retail complex, etc.)

Skalbania tried to continue the Montreal Alouettes glory years by hiring several very expensive American football stars (Vince Ferragamo, Billy Johnson, James Scott, David Overstreet,) but his bid failed miserably, as the team was dreadful.
