EDMONTON - The Edmonton Elks announced Monday the club has traded American Colin Kelly (OL) to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in exchange for a 7th round pick in the 2023 CFL Draft.

Kelly spent six seasons with the Double E playing in a total of 50 games. The native of Longview, WA., signed with Edmonton back in May of 2017 and was extended in February of 2019. ​ ​
