The Edmonton Elks have released American receiver Binjimen Victor ahead of the CFL’s mandatory roster cutdown deadline.
The 29-year-old made 12 starts with the Elks in 2025, making 32 receptions for 331 yards and one touchdown.
The six-foot-four, 200-pound target joined the team as a free agent in 2025 after stints with the New York Giants, Baltimore Ravens, and Birmingham Stallions.
The Elks also released the following players as part of their post-training camp cuts: American quarterback Zach Zebrowski; American running back Rushawn Baker; American receivers Jalon Calhoun, Julian Hicks, Kisean Johnson, and Justin McGriff; Canadian offensive linemen Matthew Ljuden, Jaxon Morkin, and Domenico Piazza; American offensive linemen Erick Cade and Mark Evans II; American defensive lineman BJ Thompson; Canadian linebackers Jaxxon Brashear and Yunus Larry; American linebacker Jadon Pearson; and American defensive backs Travion Blaylock, JaVaughn Byrd, Ian Kennelly, and Jaylin Williams.
Additionally, the Elks have placed rookie Canadian receiver Eloa Latendresse-Regimbald on the retired list with the intention of returning to school. Veteran Canadian linebacker Olivier Muembi was also placed on the retired list, though he has no remaining eligibility.
Evans was the most notable of the remaining cuts, as he appeared in 16 games last season along the offensive line and made three starts.
The team also established a 12-man practice roster, including American running back ShunDerrick Powell; Canadian fullback Bradley Hladik; American receiver O.J. Hiliare; American offensive lineman Cameron Carter; Canadian offensive lineman Chris Pashula; Canadian defensive lineman Francis Bemiy; Global defensive lineman Richard Jibunor; American defensive lineman Gavin Meyer; American defensive backs Jaaron Joseph, Terez Reid, and Ladarius Tennison; and Global kicker Jesus Gomez.
The Edmonton Elks will play their first regular-season game against the Ottawa Redblacks on Saturday, June 6. The team finished fifth in the West Division standings in 2025 with a 7-11 record, missing the playoffs for the fifth straight season.
