Last post by ModAdmin - Today at 12:05:01 AMBlue Bombers sign quarterback Taylor Elgersma
WINNIPEG, MB., April 16, 2026 – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has signed Canadian quarterback Taylor Elgersma.
Elgersma (6-5, 227, Wilfrid Laurier University; born: March 27, 2002, in London, Ont.) joins the club after being selected in the second round, 18th overall, of the 2025 CFL Canadian Draft.
He was most recently with the Birmingham Stallions of the UFL but did not see any action due to work visa issues.
Following the CFL Draft last spring, Elgersma was signed by the Green Bay Packers on May 12, 2025, attended training camp and appeared in three NFL preseason games, completing 16-of-23 passes for 166 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions.
He was released by the Packers after training camp and then had NFL looks from the New York Giants, San Franciso 49ers, Chicago Bears and Miami Dolphins before joining the Stallions.
Elgersma's days at Wilfrid Laurier were capped by a 2024 season in which he captured the Hec Crighton Trophy as the top player in U Sports football after throwing for 4,252 yards and 35 touchdowns against 11 interceptions for the Golden Hawks. He then became the first quarterback from a Canadian university to participate in the Senior Bowl.
Elgersma was a U Sports First Team All-Canadian in 2024 and a Second Team All-Canadian in 2023.

Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Re: Blue Bombers Add Receiver
Last post by Stats Junkie - April 16, 2026, 11:12:14 PMIn recent years, the term "multiple" has been used for various position groups. In the receiving corps multiple refers to receivers who can line up at more than one of the 5 receiver positions. Having receivers who are interchangeable allows the offence to show multiple looks.
Players like Demski, Schoen, Wolitarsky, Bailey and to a lesser extent Lawler were considered multiple.
For the past few seasons, the loss of players through free agency and injuries have reduced the number of multiple players the Blue Bombers can field. IMHO, it has handcuffed the Blue Bombers offence. Look at 2025 where there seemed to be a number of receivers who were limited to the 'American receiver on the line' role.
From what I heard throughout last season, Corcoran was the national receiver who could play multiple positions which made him the best choice as the backup receiver. Clercius has yet to show that he is more than one dimensional.
I'm hopeful that players like White & Nield can help the Blue Bombers produce multiple looks which can keep defences off balance.

I don't know they have an issue. He wasn't horrible but I think his blocking may be more suspect. IIRC, Collaros dressed him down a couple of times. Perhaps doesn't follow his route and blocking aspects well. A work ethic issue possibly but he may also have just been nursing an injury.
