I agree with BG84 on this one.

My bet is he'll get here eventually... and he'll be a bust, like over 90% of the QBs that come into the CFL.

I don't get the grousing about Elgersma. He was just drafted last year, why give up? Sometimes guys take years to come back. Tyrell Ford was gone a year, Dakoda Shepley was gone 5 years just for examples. He's a 24 year old QB who will be here eventually and everyone will be happy.

Trade value is low?? How about non existent!! This is the guy who's bummed around for 2 years now, going from training camp to training camp, not getting a sniff anywhere, and now has paperwork issues in the USFL?? He's a joke, how can you take him seriously??

LOL. Fair enough, it may be zero. Sometimes a trade is subject to being able to speak with a player before a trade is made. Trades are made for players that were about to become potential free agents.

He's from back east, so maybe he'd be more interested in a 3 year ELC where he'd rather play than in Winnipeg. Maybe an eastern team might have interest. Keep in mind he was drafted in the 2nd round, so there was interest.

None of this is fact just idle contemplation. I think we're all fed up with him not reporting to Winnipeg. Perhaps the team has spoken to him and has a clearer picture of what his plans will be.

I felt it was a wasted pick when we drafted him. At this point if there was some interest in a trade, maybe we get a 3rd round pick? Who knows. Hamilton are you listening?

It depends what you mean by valid. It has not been registered by the league, so technically there is no contract.

Contract requires: Intent, offer, acceptance, consideration and legal capacity.

What you pointed out is also a possible valid reason. However that's an internal issue to the UFL and not necessarily a legal aspect in the courts.

If he paid been paid a small signing bonus ( consideration ) then it could be argued the contract is legal. The work visa may not be part of the legal aspect of the contract, regardless of the delay which is a court issue rather than a contract issue per se.

I don't know he was paid anything to sign a contract but all the other aspects are correct.

[Keeping in mind I'm not sure his UFL contract is actually valid]

Every trade requires two teams willing to make a specific trade. What either want or are willing to take in return is always the question.

I have no idea of whether an eastern team is of interest although he might prefer an eastern team to the Bombers.

It's all guesswork but he isn't jumping towards the Bombers at the moment, so it's just a random thought. He isn't going to automatically become a starter or even the # 2 anywhere at the moment. Does he have a better chance elsewhere in his mind?

In that sense I wouldn't be upset if the Bombers looked into a possible trade. OTOH I wouldn't be upset if we signed him tomorrow. Keeping in mind I'm not sure his UFL contract is actually valid ( no pay / no consideration ).

If his trade value is low??? I would just hold on to him. Let him figure it out. Sooner or later he will be playing in the CFL.
