EDMONTON — The Elks have signed offensive lineman Brett Boyko to a two-year contract and extended defensive lineman Jacob Plamondon through the 2025 season, the club announced Monday.
Boyko rejoins the Green and Gold on a new two-year deal after being released by the club in late January. The 32-year-old started 29 games for the Elks over the past two seasons — serving as the Green and Gold’s primary right tackle — and is a veteran of 56 Canadian Football League games. Boyko was named to the CFL’s PFF Honour Roll in Weeks 10 & 21 as a contributor on an Elks offensive line that led the CFL in multiple statistics including total rush offence (2,365) and fewest sacks allowed (29).
