Blue Bombers add quarterback

[Blue In BC]

I think there are more ufl players moving up to the NFL than CFL players.

Also, some NFL coaches go the UFL and come from the UFL, so there are more relationships that way.

So a better chance to get into the NFL.

I think Elgersma is wasting his time.. I can think of four CFL quarterbacks that lasted in the NFL. Over a period of forty years.

Even Flutie was held in low estime.

Joe kapp, Warren moon,  Jeff Garcia and Flutie. Sean Salisbury for a bit of time.

Elgersma has reported to UFL TC. We'll see if he makes the roster and how much playing time he gets. Too soon to tell how things work out for him.

Wonder how many QB's make each team, likely 3, doesn't look like they maintain PR's during the season.

Key 2026 UFL Roster Details:
Training Camp Roster: Limited to 64 players.
Draft & Reserves: Teams can draft a maximum of 12 players to a Reserve List.
Structure: Similar to the inaugural 2024 season, teams manage a 50-man active roster for games while utilizing a broader, shifting roster during the off-season and training camp to develop talent.

EDIT: Birmingham only has 3 QB's in TC, so he pretty much makes the team.

If Birmingham doesn't make the playoffs their 10 game season would be over by the end of May.

All games will be broadcast on either Fox, ABC or ESPN.

Are the UFL contracts annual, or seasonal?  Does he have a one year deal, or two?

Does the CFL honour UFL contracts?

I don't see a need for him to be here for camp, or for time during the season, we have plenty of arms for that.

If he shakes loose before camp, he can try to earn a roster spot.

If he decides to come north after the start of the season, if we want to keep him, he needs an AR spot, not a PR spot.  But I am sure whoever is QB3 at that time will take the PR spot.

Or, if he kicks around looking to land an NFL look again, be just as happy to see him next spring for camp.

Hoping to see him in June, if he takes a different route time to consider trading his rights away.

Don't like him reporting to the UFL. No idea how well he'll do but even Rourke didn't go that route. He says the right things about the CFL but his actions say another. He's essentially a CIS quarterback doing a nuclear version of the Henoc Muamba tour. His head is clearly not in the CFL game or Canada despite that being the only football he's played.
