Will he make it to the NFL like his uncle?
“I couldn’t be happier to sign this extension and proudly represent the historic Double Blue,” Kelly said in a statement. “Today marks not only a contract extension, but an extension of my commitment to the amazing city of Toronto, my teammates, coaches, front office and MLSE.”
According to reports, he’s due to receive a $250,000 signing bonus in 2024, but it will be invalidated if he signs with an NFL team between December 2023 and February 2024. During the ongoing 2023 season, Kelly has completed 149 of 213 passes for 2,402 passing yards. He has thrown 16 passing touchdowns against seven interceptions.
After helping the Argonauts win the Grey Cup last year, Kelly is enjoying his first season as a full-time starting quarterback in the CFL, leading the league in passer rating , while completing 70% of his passes for 2,402 yards and 16 touchdowns. He also has a league-leading six rushing TDs in an 8-1 start.
Last on an NFL roster in 2020 with the Colts’ practice squad, Kelly was working as an assistant coach at East Mississippi Community College before signing with Toronto in February. He entered the Grey Cup title game in the fourth quarter and led the Argos on the winning touchdown drive.
