Cfl draft

[Waffler]

I don't get the grousing about Elgersma. He was just drafted last year, why give up? Sometimes guys take years to come back. Tyrell Ford was gone a year, Dakoda Shepley was gone 5 years just for examples. He's a 24 year old QB who will be here eventually and everyone will be happy.

My bet is he'll get here eventually... and he'll be a bust, like over 90% of the QBs that come into the CFL.

totally agree that this is the likely outcome. People gushing about him and saying he'd replace Collaros is just plain crazy talk

Contract requires: Intent, offer, acceptance, consideration and legal capacity.

What you pointed out is also a possible valid reason. However that's an internal issue to the UFL and not necessarily a legal aspect in the courts.

If he paid been paid a small signing bonus ( consideration ) then it could be argued the contract is legal. The work visa may not be part of the legal aspect of the contract, regardless of the delay which is a court issue rather than a contract issue per se.

I don't know he was paid anything to sign a contract but all the other aspects are correct.

Well, he's not legally eligible to work in the US. It's pretty cut and dry.

The fact he's listed as inactive again is pretty telling. And who knows how long it could take to get his visa situation sorted out.
