Elks Confirms Heartbreaking News
The Edmonton Elks have officially confirmed devastating news that has left fans across the CFL reeling: the team’s starting quarterback will be departing the organization, marking the end of an era and the beginning of a difficult transition
In a statement released earlier today, the Elks announced that quarterback Trevor Harris will no longer be with the team following a mutual decision to part ways. The move comes after weeks of speculation surrounding the team’s direction and ongoing roster restructuring efforts ahead of the upcoming season.
Harris, who has been a steady presence under center, brought leadership, experience, and resilience to the Elks’ offense during challenging stretches. Despite injuries and inconsistent results around him, he remained a respected voice in the locker room and a symbol of professionalism on and off the field.
“Trevor has meant a great deal to this organization,” the Elks said in their statement. “His commitment, work ethic, and leadership have helped shape our team, and we are grateful for everything he has given to the green and gold.”
The quarterback’s departure leaves a significant void, both strategically and emotionally. Fans took to social media to express disappointment and gratitude, many calling the news “heartbreaking” and thanking Harris for his dedication during a turbulent period for the franchise.
As the Elks look ahead, questions now loom large about who will take over at quarterback and how quickly the team can regroup. While management emphasized confidence in the club’s long-term vision, the loss of a proven QB underscores the challenges that remain.
For now, the focus turns to the future—but the impact of this departure will be felt for a long time in Edmonton.
