His 2014 season was more fruitful as he was utilized as a change of pace back in conjunction with Andrew Harris. When Harris went down with a season-ending injury, it created an increased role for Logan in the Lions offense. Ultimately, Logan played in 14 regular season games and one playoff game in 2014. He compiled 625 rushing yards on 116 attempts (5.1 average) with one rushing touchdown. He also played a significant role in the passing, with 477 receiving yards on 52 receptions and three touchdowns.

In 2018, Logan's single rushing opportunity came in Week 2 for a 12 yard gain, putting Logan over 2,000 career rushing yards. He also continued to serve as a consistent threat on special teams; Logan scored a 74 yard punt return touchdown, and became one of only eight players in CFL history accumulate 10,000 total return yards in his career.[5] After playing in 4 games at the start of the 2019 season, the Alouettes announced their release of Logan on July 17 and thanked him for his service.[6] Logan would be named to the all decade Montreal team as a special teamer.[7]

Ottawa Redblacks
