Elgersma will now go through the waiver process. If unclaimed, Elgersma can sign with the Packers practice squad starting on Wednesday.

Boy, it really would be nice and perfect timing if he should come up here to dev with us for some of '25 and all of '26 and see if we can make a starter out of him in '27 when Zach retires!

Assuming he can be at least Dru (or Rourke?) quality... having a starting NAT QB would really be ratio-handy!

That must mean "released" means a different thing down there than up here!  We don't "release" a guy to the PR!

CFL release = cut = out the door = apple & map = bye

NFL release = roster shuffle?

We do release guys onto the PR. They need to be cut from their contract and signed to a separate PR deal.

What I think is different in the NFL is after they are released they run through waivers, so each team is given the opportunity to sign each released player before they are free to sign onto a PR.

He's had a pretty good pre season, I'm sure he's sticking around.

They have waivers. Any team NFL team can claim him in the waiver period (24 hours) and he becomes their property, if no one does then Green Bay can put him on their PR.

Elgersma will stay south of the border for this season for sure, and maybe for a Streveler length of time.

The fact that Collaros is signed at a high price for next year reduces his likelyhood of coming north.  Unless Collaros calls it a career, I can't see him wanting to come here on an ELC to back up.

Rourke has set the bar for this situation.

Rourke was already the starter in Vancouver so it's not the same situation.
One game at a time.

A reminder that most quarterbacks who come to the CFL fail.

Odds are Elgersma doesn't even turn into Streveler.

sounds like GB will be adding him to the PR if he clears waivers.

Wasn't that long ago the CFL also had waivers and every team had the option of picking up any player deleted from the roster being moved to the PR.  I believe the waiver period was 24 hours as well, being the CFL the GM's had an un-written agreement not to mess with other team's players, but it still happened occasionally.

If he gets cut from the PR and no other NFL team picks him up from year one onward, like Rourke the CFL becomes his best choice for playing pro football and any demands for a big pay contract or a starting job would fall on deaf ears.  I'm sure his agent would inform him of all this before any of it happened though, so not an issue.

Doesn't look like he will get a PR spot, per Farhan and a few NFL sources. GB passed on both him and clifford.

Naylor stated he doesn't think he'll sign with the bombers immediately.

My guess is he'll sign in the off season with us then battle it out with Wilson and Chase Artopoeus.

Goes to show how much weight you can put on training camp reports. Im not sure the bombers want Elgersma to sign this year , we still hold his rights and if we cant risk putting  him on pr then which qb do you sit of streveler and wilson?
Other option would be to put him on one games i guess.
