TRANSACTIONS | Elks extend Gibbon

Jesse Gibbon has signed a two-year contract extension with the Edmonton Elks.

The deal announced Tuesday morning keeps the offensive lineman in Edmonton through the 2024 season.

In his third CFL season, Gibbon was acquired by the Double E in a trade with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Sept. 2, and has suited up in five games for the Elks. The Waterloo product appeared in 42 games with the Ti-Cats after being selected second overall in the 2019 CFL draft.

In addition, the Elks released Dennis Bardwell (OL). Bardwell did not see any game action with Edmonton after being signed on Sept. 1.

The Elks return to action on Saturday, when they take on the Toronto Argonauts at The Brick Field at Commonwealth Stadium.
