I won't ever fault a guy for chasing a dream.

Oh I agree...but some also need to be realistic...he can still chase it..probably more successfully if he was to get some film up here and shown potential.

Even agree to sign and if a team wanted to add him to the PR ...not just a look...the club would release him.

Ford got a good look signing here...and playing soley ST save for one start at end of yr

If u have legit talent..it was known before u were draft eligible and would get if not a PR spot...or numerous workouts to possibly get one...when u get no tire kicking...especially a Canadian.. undrafted...from a Canadian university...u need to realize a few things...and there's always next yr if u do anything...even 1 thing that scouts like, you are gonna get nibbles...they are always watching..my opinion he got bad council from whoever is in his camp

There's a 0% chance Elgersma signs here before the end of the next NFL season.  And at that it would be if he's getting no calls and looks in January-February 2027. 

4 weeks on a NFL PR and he makes more than he would on CFL deal.  If he's on a roster for OTA's and training camp he'll basically make a full year of CFL salary on a rookie deal in per diem and pay.

If he signs with us he won't be playing any time soon.  He won't really be in a spot to succeed.  They won't be building an offense around him.

There's no incentive at this point for him to sign here, or the CFL generally.
