Elgersma waived

[Tecno]

It's quite noticeable with the guys we have now, first tackler brings them down.  Except Demski of course.

Pokey would often make the one guy miss (especially near the rail) and escape for more YAC or TD.  Ya, the other guys aren't doing that much.  Except Demski.  He's superb.

Funny... I was looking for this pokey convo and finally found it at the bottom of this Elgersma thread!  Hilarious, as there's another thread just for Pokey!

We need Pokey back ...pronto....Watching the hi-lites of his receptions, just proves how good this guy really is....Walters I'm sure is on the phone....Get him back here and give him a solid contract

Maybe Walters brings Pokey in for a surprise press conference before the Banjo Bowl, sort of a kick off to the 2nd half of the season!

I could see the Bombers announcing Pokey's signing on Monday.

Mainlining the hopium for that STRAIGHT FIRE

[Waffler]

He was back in Canada Saturday watching his old team. He got interviewed and at the end it seems like the New York work out did not result in a contract.

Says he has to see how things play out in the next couple days, evaluate what the best path for himself is. Work hard and stay ready is what he wants to do.

It's Monday and the Bombers have signed Pokey, go figure.

I wasn't making fun, I was asking for a hit of that hopium too!  I like the hopium as much as anyone.  And sometimes, but rarely, that hopium delivers.  No complaints here.

The QB Elgersma was competing with for 3rd string or PR has found himself a job in Cincinnati. A spot became open due to injury.

Sean Clifford competed with Canadian standout UDFA Taylor Elgersma for the QB3 role, but it turns out that neither player won that competition. When the Packers signed former Arizona Cardinals backup Clayton Tune to the practice squad, both Clifford and Elgersma were not retained.

You could see why he waits. At this point I think he will wait the whole season.

It's better for us if he doesn't come to the CFL until next year. If he returns now we use up the 1st year of an ELC deal and have to create roster space for him for the last 30 days.

Better that way but it would be nice to evaluate him in person before free agency. At least we would know what we have in him before we go QB shopping. If that is in fact what we do.

He's be ear marked for the # 3 in 2026. He might even be # 4 coming out of TC and ends up on 1 game IR or even the PR.

I couldn't find anywhere that Elgersma was signed by the Bengals

Not sure why he mentioned Cincinnati except for referencing that their starter is out for the season and more opportunities may be out there.

But it honestly may prove to be the opposite. The Bengals signed Brett Rypien. Who has been absolutely awful every where he's got a chance. Teams aren't going to go looking for an inexperienced Canadian to fill in injury holes. They're gonna grab someone with playing experience, regardless of how poor that experience is.

2 years, 3 years, doesn't really matter, Elgersma needs to reveal his true potential within his first season, his timing couldn't be better but he needs to understand his golden opportunity to shine is upon him, and the Bombers and their angry fanbase could be short on patience by the time he shows up. If he flops around for too long without showing ability another QB will step in front of him and steal his spotlight, and he'll either be shuttled to the back of the bus for an eternity, or passed onto another CFL team to develop.
