About this episode

The episode discusses CFL training camps, player movements, and the potential for the Edmonton Elks to reach the Grey Cup in 2026.

CFL training camps see some players get injured, others released, and other signing with another team. Edmonton quarterback Cody Fajardo believes the Elks can be in the 2026 Grey Cup. Calgary vs Saskatchewan on CFL+ May 18 (2026) gave the first taste of some of the new rules coming to the CFL, the 35 second clock was a hit! Ironically, next season in 2027, not pre-season but regular-season play starts on Victoria Day Weekend. While many starting quartback jobs are secure, who amng the backups will step-up?
