EDMONTON McLeod Bethel-Thompson is returning to the CFL. A league source said Friday night the veteran American quarterback had agreed to a one-year deal with the Edmonton Elks.
But despite his solid second half, Edmonton Elks coach and general manager Chris Jones said Tre Ford is not a lock to be the opening day starter in 2024. Ford will have to battle Taylor Cornelius who began the season as the Elks’ starter and Jarret Doege for the job.
EDMONTON - Tre Ford began the 2023 CFL season carrying a clipboard. After taking over as the starting quarterback midway through the Edmonton Elks' season, he became the team’s brightest star in an otherwise dismal 4-14 campaign.
The brightest light on the Edmonton Elks roster and some would argue the biggest catalyst in all four of their wins in 2023 isn t a lock to start at quarterback next year, their head coach said Monday.
