I would just eat the 100k and thank him for his services. The only thing I can think of is that the Esks want to make sure that Ford doesn't bolt during the NFL window which seems like a very remote of a chance to me.

That's before anyone can talk to Dru, unless they trade for his rights. In 2024, Cornelius will collect $100,000 for being on the Elks’ active roster on Jan. 15 with and an additional $46,500 for reporting to training camp and passing his physical, a $200,000 base salary, half of which is guaranteed under the terms of the latest collective bargaining agreement, along with the same housing and travel available. This totals $370,000 in hard money plus the potential to earn an additional $40,000 for being the team’s starter. https://3downnation.com/2022/09/21/contract-details-edmonton-elks-pay-qb-taylor-cornelius-over-100000-to-sign-extension/ $100,000 of his 2024 base salary is guaranteed.

Tracker Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 20 hours ago, Brandon said: Prukop as a 3rd down QB I'm fine with. As the 2nd string... no. Still, it would be good to find a short-yardage, younger QB who has potential for a higher ceiling than the very limited Prukop.

I can't figure out what limits him or any other QB with the right athleticism and tools, as Prukop received the same input as Brown and has a better body for the job. Is it intelligence, confidence, dedication to the craft, competitiveness, or the case that they may not have been a dominant player from a very young age, forged at birth. It's a mystery.

JuranBoldenRules Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 Cornelius will be 29. I'd take a rookie to be the short-yardage/development guy. Bombers have about 4 on neg list. rebusrankin, Bigblue204, Stickem and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the line between a successful CFL starter and a bum is extremely thin. That's why veteran QBs can lose their mojo so suddenly, especially after a serious injury. Like imagine if Doug Flutie was a quarter second slower at processing the game? He'd be a short yardage specialist or gadget quarterback instead of a GOAT.

CodyT Posted December 25, 2023 Report Share Posted December 25, 2023 Yeah Ford reminds me of a more talented brandon bridge. I don't think Ford cuts it as a full time starter, but what do I know Goalie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
