The Edmonton Elks have signed American midfielder Brock Mogensen to a contract extension that will keep him with the club through the 2027 season. Mogensen was already under contract through 2026.
The six-foot-two, 235-pound defensive end is coming off a strong rookie season in which he played 14 games, including six starts at middle linebacker. He was initially released after training camp but was later brought back after recording 40 defensive tackles, one interception and one forced fumble.
Mogensen played collegiately at the University of South Dakota, where he recorded a total of 399 tackles, three sacks and two interceptions over 50 games. He was named a first-team FCS All-American in 2023, won the Missouri Valley Football Conference Defensive Player of the Year award and was a three-time all-conference selection.
The 25-year-old went undrafted in the 2024 NFL Draft but spent time on the Dallas Cowboys practice squad before signing with Canada.
Edmonton finished fifth in the West Division standings in 2025 with a 7–11 record, missing the playoffs for the fifth straight season. Cody Fajardo started the team's final 13 regular-season games and went 6-7, throwing for 3,408 yards, 14 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Tre Ford started the top five with a 1-4 record and threw for 984 yards with five touchdowns and three interceptions.
The Moose ranked ninth in net offense, ninth in net defense and fifth with a plus-four turnover margin.

Edmonton ranked seventh in attendance with an average attendance of 19,050, down 7.1 per cent from the previous year.
