Packers expected to offer contract to Canadian QB Elgersma

The Green Bay Packers are expected to offer former University of Wilfred Laurier quarterback Taylor Elgersma a contract after the Canadian attended Packers' mini-camp last weekend, according to TSN's Dave Naylor.
Elgersma was also planning to attend the mini-camp of the Buffalo Bills this upcoming weekend.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers selected Elgersma 18th overall, in the second round of the 2025 CFL Draft last week.
Elgersma won this year's Hec Crighton Trophy as the top football player in U Sports as he helped the Golden Hawks advance to the Vanier Cup where they fell to Laval.
The 22-year-old posted 4,252 passing yards with 35 touchdowns and 11 interceptions across 13 games this past season. He also added seven rushing touchdowns.
The London, Ont., native was the first quarterback from a Canadian university to participate in the NCAA’s Senior Bowl. He completed four of his seven pass attempts for a total of 57 yards in the annual All-Star game featuring draft eligible players for the NFL.
Elgersma was not selected in the NFL draft last month.
