EDMONTON — The Edmonton Elks signed defensive linemen Robbie Smith and Jordan Williams to contract extensions.

Smith has appeared in 90 career regular-season games, recording 143 tackles, 20 sacks, one interception, and three forced fumbles.
Williams, an American, joined the Elks midway through the ’25 season after being released by Toronto. He appeared in a combined 14 games, recording 13 tackles and scoring on a 77-yard fumble return.
