Chris Elgersma
Bio
Chris Elgersma wears #19 as the Bombers' third-string quarterback but has already logged a win as a starter in 2026, showcasing a conservative, risk-averse play style that values ball security over heroics. He’s the epitome of a game manager—dump-offs, checkdowns, and a refusal to put his defence in a bind.

2026 Season Analysis
Elgersma’s spot start earlier this year produced a victory, but that came before the defence hit rock-bottom with a historically bad 377-yard rushing collapse. Now, if he’s forced to spell Collaros, his quick-release, low-variance approach will either help the Bombers control the clock and cover up defensive wounds—or simply lead to a string of punts that puts the unit right back on the field against Kaidon Salter. The key watchpoint: can his careful completions sustain drives long enough to keep the defence off its heels?
Contract & Salary
About $85,000 as QB3 — cheap insurance that has already paid off with a win in spot duty.
Role on the Team
With Zach Collaros nursing rib damage behind a reshuffled offensive line, Elgersma is the emergency valve who could be thrust back into the starter’s role on any given snap.
