Edmonton Elks

On Monday, the Edmonton Elks signed four players, including former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant.

Martavis Bryant (30-years-old) was with the Toronto Argonauts in 2021 and never played a game after being placed on the suspended list for not showing up to training camp.

The Steelers drafted Bryant in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL Draft from Clemson. He played three seasons with the Steelers before being traded to the Oakland Raiders in 2018 for a third-round pick. Bryant played 44 games in four seasons with 145 catches for 2,183 yards, 17 touchdowns, 17 carries for 94 yards, and one touchdown.

Martavis Bryant played 37 games in three seasons (2011-13) at Clemson with 61 catches for 1,354 yards, 13 touchdowns, and one carry for 17 yards.

In addition to Bryant’s signing, the Elks signed kicker Wihan van der Reit, offensive lineman Brandon Smith, and defensive back DaQuaylyn Thomas. The Elks also released wide receiver Diego Viamontes, linebacker Maxime Rouyer, and defensive lineman Tibo DeBaillie.
