Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Taylor Elgersma has signed a rookie contract with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the Canadian Football League (CFL), extending through the 2028 season. Elgersma, who was drafted 18th overall in the 2025 CFL Draft, had a tumultuous journey in professional football, initially joining the Packers but being released before the season. After brief stints with the UFL's Birmingham Stallions and participating in the 2026 scouting combine, he ultimately returned to Canada.
