Blue Bombers add quarterback

[Sir Blue and Gold]

I think Elgersma might choose the CFL and be in camp this summer. The reality is if you don't get signed in your draft year you're probably never going to make the NFL. Especially for QBs. Especially for a guy like him. He's now competing with this year's draft class in addition to the one he came out of where he wasn't successful.

He said two things in his recent interview with 3down. One, that he approached the Green Bay coach for feedback after being cut. Two, that the biggest knock against him was his lack of experience in the 4-down game. Then he was drafted by the UFL and the the HC of the Stallions said Elgersma was expected to be there.

So if the NFL is still his primary goal, he might think that he can try to do a season there and still be available of the 2026 NFL season.

I dunno, I get that Elgersma wants to do everything he can to make himself attractive to the NFL, but at some point he has to read between the lines and accept they're not all that interested in him and he's unlikely to change their minds by trying harder.

If Elgersma waits another year away his spot could get compromised here!

He may. But there's no guarantee he plays much in the UFL either and their best quarterbacks tend to come to the CFL not go to the NFL (if they go anywhere) which he also knows.

A year in the league down there gains him not much more four down experience and certainly he'll be way behind virtually the entire crop of QBs in the NFL draft this year.

Because it's a bit of a light year for QBs, maybe he sticks it out one more year. But it's a catch 22. The longer he waits the worse his odds become no matter what he does.
