They fell in the East Final to the Toronto Argonauts. “We believe in the importance of depth at the quarterback position and having two dependable options behind centre in the Canadian Football League,” Elks VP of football operations and general manager Ed Hervey said in a news release. “Cody is an accomplished CFL quarterback who will bring valuable experience to our locker room and organization.”. He's played sparingly over his three seasons in Edmonton.
