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

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.

Some people refuse to look at both sides. White is a playmaker who drops a lot of balls. He's fast and small. He runs good routes and doesn't block. The upsides are why we got him. The downsides are why he was available.

Some people only ever post about the downsides.

24 hours until the tampering free agency windows opens. Still about 150 players on the list. We'll probably see a few more late re-signings across the league as the window approaches.

Looking forward to see which players find new teams in the early hours tomorrow. There is still some top talent available but which teams want to improve in certain areas is not as obvious.

I'd like to think the Bombers can make a significant move or 2 tomorrow. I realize players can't actually sign those deals yet but they can agree in principle.

Of the 150 players, 50 probably never play in the CFL again. 50 are tier 2 or tier 3 ST types that may see some activity once the actual free agency opens.

So that leaves about 50 very good players we may see some activity on early. 3rddown listed the top 50 and that was interesting.

Quite a few DL: Carney, Ceresna and Rose come to mind. Age, injury history and SMS will be a pro versus con choice.

Dequoy would be a great addition but we don't really need another very expensive Canadian starter.

Gittens is of interest and could displace / improve a weak Canadian receiving group.

I don't see us chasing any LB's, DB's, RB's or import OL so that narrows the list.

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.

That seems to be his plan. I'm sure he hopes that with some 4 down experience, he'll get another try out opportunity.

In door football league or did you mean UFL? Either way he's not going to be the # 1 QB and may not see much playing time. I don't know that will help with another NFL opportunity.
