‘Fans Yearning for a Winning Team’: Elks Looking Toward Grey Cup Run

Fajardo said the Elks have kept enough roster continuity to chase a Grey Cup after years of early-season struggles.

  • Veteran signal-caller Cody Fajardo opened training camp at Clarke Stadium on Sunday, declaring the Edmonton Elks roster "good enough to win a Grey Cup."
  • Unlike previous seasons, the Elks enter this year without a major roster overhaul, allowing continuity and hoping to end five years of futility after the Tre Ford experiment failed last year.
  • Fajardo completed 282 of 385 passes for 14 touchdowns last season and emphasized that early games are vital to avoid a "chase-pack mentality."
  • The club has missed the CFL playoffs for five years, and former quarterback Tre Ford departed for Hamilton on a two-year deal during the off-season.
  • With Commonwealth Stadium undergoing upgrades, the Elks will play their home exhibition game at Clarke Stadium; all championship talk will ring hollow if the club cannot avoid another poor start.
