The Edmonton Elks have released Canadian offensive lineman Brett Boyko. He was owed a $25,000 offseason roster bonus on Feb. 1, according to 3DownNation reporter John Hodge, and was projected to earn just over $200,000 in 2025.

The 32-year-old started 29 games with the team over the past two seasons. He was the top-graded right tackle in the CFL last year, according to Pro Football Focus.

The native of Saskatoon, Sask. was originally a second-round pick of the B.C. Lions in the 2015 CFL Draft. He has played 56 career regular-season games as a member of the Lions, Saskatchewan Roughriders, and Elks.
