I do have another name that can fill in as an emergency receiver. Why not bring back Lucky Whitehead again? Better then nothing and he can return kicks if need be. Also for future self:

NFL is also different than up here...IR guys also count against the cap...may not be their full salary as some don't necessarily get their actual full non guaranteed amount....but none the less it counts along with the PR guys, so teams need to really be aware of where the cap is being spent, so a guy they may view as a real long shot project...or one who may never evolve into a legit starter, they won't waste their time on...and money

Wasn't even a link to his release - it's a link to his profile on the Ticats website, where he's still listed on their active roster. Nothing on FB, Insta or the CFL site about him being released so I have no idea why the link was posted.

Easy decision...Drop Artopoeus yeah....all guys go toward the cap...AR and PR....it's gotta be accounted for

Cap space? lol Elgersma is basically the prototype, tested off the charts at the couple senior showcases and senior bowl. Arguably best overall ability of the QB's in the 2025 class. Look at the mess in Tennessee with the #1 pick. If you want a guy to mold into a franchise QB he's got all the attributes without the bad habits that need to be coached out from playing in a shitty NCAA spread system. Perfect guy to run pro style, west coast concepts. Yeah they probably worry about his experience level, but lots to work with there. Guy who was a multiple sport athlete and didn't commit fully to football until Grade 11/12....which is also the basic plot line of arguably the two greatest QB's in the modern era, although they were baseball players not hockey. Neither one of those guys (Brady and Mahomes) were 5 star recruits. Who cares if a guy went to Miami or Texas if he has no velocity or accuracy, can't make throws on time, can't adjust and make plays if they get off schedule? All to say, I don't expect to see Elgersma up here until 2027 or 2028 at earliest and more likely never. I don't really see him coming up soon. He has no path to playing time here this season, he'd probably have to force a trade but there's really nowhere other than Montreal who needs a QB immediately where he might get any playing time. The only reason for him to come up would be to play and set himself up for another NFL shot. Standing on the sideline here doesn't make much sense.

Jesus... Nobody wanted anything to do with him. That seems wild. I can't imagine us cutting any of the guys we've had here all year just to make room for him, but I guess you never know...

I feel for the kid. He looked outstanding. I think he has a bright future. Whether it’s in the NFL or here in the CFL. Selfishly obviously I’d like to see him in blue and gold but I would have loved to see him make an NFL roster this year and continue to learn from guys like Jordan Love and Matt Lafleur.

That's what was posted yesterday... Haven't seen much about it online but someone posted a link to his release.

In addition, Elgersma also went unclaimed on waivers by the 31 other clubs.

Good news on Pearsons

Was Woli released?

more like rostering Corcoran problem

not me....I expected it....now does he wait around hoping another team wants to work him out as a project...an maybe PR him...basically spend the yr hoping yup...polotics....invested capitol....time and money to invest with the chance he "may" amount to a 2nd stringer....not worth many teams time...cap space and effort If he was an American kid...played American ball...and attended a Div 1 school...may get more rope

He looked really poised and professional in his appearances, it would be great to get him here this season if he doesn't catch on to anyone else's PR

Really ?? with all the political crap that goes on down there.....no surprise

This surprises me a bit.

https://www.si.com/nfl/packers/onsi/packers-updates-taylor-elgersma-sean-clifford-practice-squad Looks like the Packers are moving on from Clifford AND Elgersma and are picking up a different scout team QB.

You're not wrong -- Wolitarsky wouldn't solve our "no Kenny Lawler" problem ... but he would solve our "starting Concoran" problem.

Elgersma is not being retained on the Packers PR per Packers beat reporter Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated.

Woogie is a guy Zach trusts... That's the most important part, to me...

Need to put this description on his football card.

it's not necessarily about him being just a 500 yard receiver... if that's all he brought, I'd agree... he brings chemistry with the offense.... blocking... TE-type play... leadership... reliability (as a player, not necessarily when it comes to injury concerns)... if the Bomber decided to bring him back, it wouldn't be to put this O over the top... it would be help shore up the bottom end and provide depth... Of course we all agree, unearthing a difference maker at this point would be amazing... but probably not realistic...

Wolitarsky had 5 2nd Down Conversions last year in 10 games. Over his career with the Bombers he had 80 in 96 games In 2022 and 2023, Schoen had 81 in 34 games... I can only see stats for receivers with more than 350 yards for 2024 so don't know how many he ended up within 2024 in 51 games with the Bombers, Lawler had 76 Demski in 76 games had 82 FWIW Dillon Mitchell had 22 2nd down conversions in 2024 which is more than Wolitarsky had in any season
