Elgersma waived

funny how things work .. 9 months ago Elgersma was likely hoping that hed be a high cfl pick, one taste of nfl training camp and its hang around just in case..similar to Wilson

Perfect. Hope he's signed in the next few days.

Canadian QB Taylor Elgersma weighing NFL options before looking at CFL

Dumb.  If there's not some immediate calls he should totally come up here to get film.  N.Rourke did it.  Strev did it.  If you want the NFL to take you more seriously, blow up this league first, then they'll take longer looks at you.

However, I do agree that it might be better from a Bomber standpoint if he does waste some more time down there, at least until Dec.  I'd rather have Wilson on SY and backup-to-backup than a straight-outta-school guy.

Ya... but the roster capacity situation!  We'd almost be forced to AR him to "protect" him.  That's not a great idea now that we're already at week 13.

true but we can likely afford to 1 game him each week like we did with jones

Two options. Pay him a third string QB wage and put him in the PR or add him to the roster and put Wilson on the PR.

Fans make a big deal about PR poaching but it almost never happens and is zero risk because it's easily blocked.

Problem solved.

How likely is it that Elgersma will step onto the CFL field for the first time and light up the league, like Rourke?  Is that a pipe dream?  Is he going the need the usual 1-3 year dev (like, say, Dru)?

Don't care who he is, unlikely to immediately surpass the 2 QB's that have been paying their dues all season long on a MOS team.  "Wanta play football sonny?  Get in line."

He's a loooong shot at best to make the cfl. I saw him play in the varied cup, and he didn't look that good at all in that game. I am actually shocked he got an nfl look at all.

But wasn't his reg season amazing?  And didn't he win some high-falutin' Canadian football trophy?

At the very least he's worth a normal dev-path look?  Kind of like Ford.

Working out for the Giants. So he still has some NFL interest. They say he has the tools but raw so we will see if any team wants him to hang around and learn.  It will be a while yet before we know.

There are certain teams that always look at CFL/Canadian talent.

Giants are one of them. I wouldn't read too mcuh into it.

Giants have a loaded QB room

Russell
Dart
Winston
Devito

He ain't sticking there!
