On Tuesday, the Edmonton Elks announced their starting centre Mark Korte agreed to a three-year contract extension through to the end of the 2026 CFL season.
The Edmonton Elks on Tuesday signed offensive lineman and starting centre Mark Korte to a three-year contract extension which will take the 27-year-old through to the end of the 2026 CFL season.
Korte has been a part of an Elks team that has won three of its last four games, with the last win coming on Saturday in the Labour Day rematch. The Elks rallied from a 23-7 deficit to win 25-23 on a walk-off, 42-yard field goal from Dean Faithfull.“It’s awesome. As we go to kick a game-winning field goal and we turn around as there’s over 30,000 people standing up, screaming,” Korte said. “Everyone is having a good time and when it goes through, it’s even better.
The offensive line, over the last five games with Tre Ford at quarterback and the resurgence of running back Kevin Brown, has averaged 193.2 rushing yards per game. Ford has been sacked seven times, but according to Pro Football Focus, none of those sacks were the responsibility of the offensive line.Green makes the Honour RollGreen eared a 90.4 grade from PFF on the strength of four special teams tackles against the Stampeders on Saturday.
“Across the board on our special teams, we made it our goal that no matter what happens, we were going to be the more physical team and we’re not going to let them get anywhere on their return game. That’s exactly what we did.”Calgary Stampeders wearing black uniforms for pivotal Labour Day battleThe Edmonton Elks are walking into Friday’s game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders a bit depleted.Leading receiver Steven Dunbar Jr.
