The Edmonton Elks continued their offseason overhaul on Tuesday as they announced the football club has agreed to a two-year deal with Grey Cup champion kicker Boris Bede.

Bede, 34, converted 37 of 39 fields goals for a career-high 94.9 per cent in 17 games last seeason. He also led the CFL in kickoff yards, kickoff average and was named a CFL East All-Star.

“Boris is a weapon and a game-changer, whether pinning opposing teams deep or closing out a game with a long field goal,” Elks assistant general manager Geroy Simon said in a news release.
