Blue Bombers add quarterback

[dd]

Birmingham Stallions play their 1st game today. I'll watch part of that to see if Elgersma gets on the field. Recent info suggests he might still be having work visa paperwork problems. Either way, I think he's probably the # 3 QB and not likely to see the field.

Strange he has paperwork problems, he's been down in the states for a year+ trying to get a job in the NFL, and it just come to light now that he was going to be placed on a roster?? Wow.

Maybe he failed to renew or discovered he had the wrong visa to get paid to work in the US.  Up to this point I don't think anybody has offered him a paycheque, this oversight probably falls under his agents responsibility.

I heard he was not even on the opening day line-up.

That may be true. I don't follow the UFL all that much. I checked their roster he's listed but he could be inactive as you thought.

I was just going to watch a bit and see if he was on the sideline or not. I really didn't expect him to play even if active unless the team had immediate injuries.

So if he's in active we might hear in a few days if that's work permit or roster decision.

The post above mine made a good point that a tryout is not the same as a roster being offered. That may be his problem. lol

I see it's confirmed that Elgersma is inactive. I guess that means he's on the PR? He may end up in CFL TC yet.

Whether its his agents fault or his (ultimately), it isn't a good look for this guy trying to be a 'pro'
