Doege signed with Edmonton Elks on April 3, 2023.[2] After being a healthy scratch for the team's first two matches Doege was activated for the Elks' Week 3 match against the Toronto Argonauts. After Taylor Cornelius and Kai Locksley struggled to move the ball head coach and general manager Chris Jones brought him into the game in the late third quarter. In his professional debut, he completed nine of 11 pass attempts for 163 yards and two touchdowns, and one interception which was returned for a touchdown by defensive back Royce Metchie.[16] In his first career start, on June 30, 2023, Doege completed 19 of 33 pass attempts for 223 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions in the loss to the Ottawa Redblacks.[17] He dressed in 16 regular season games, starting in one, where he completed 42 of 65 pass attempts for 587 yards, four touchdowns, and four interceptions.
In 2024, Doege dressed in just four regular season games, completing one of three pass attempts for six yards. He was released shortly before 2025 training camp on May 2, 2025.[18]
Toronto Argonauts
On May 27, 2025, it was announced that Doege had signed with the Toronto Argonauts.[19] With the injury to the team's incumbent starter, Chad Kelly, Doege served as the primary backup to Nick Arbuckle to begin the season.[20] By week 15, he had taken one snap all season, a one-yard rushing touchdown, but was thurst into action against his former team, the Elks, in the fourth quarter when Arbuckle had to sit out due to a calf injury.[20] Down two points with 1:08 left to play, Doege drove 40 yards to set up Lirim Hajrullahu's 48-yard game-winning field goal to secure the victory.[20] With Arbuckle expected to be out two to four weeks, Doege was named the starter for the team's week 16 game against the Montreal Alouettes.[20] In that game, he completed 25 of 27 pass attempts for 207 yards with one touchdown pass and one interception as the Argonauts lost 21–19.[21] Arbuckle returned sooner than expected for the team's next game, against the BC Lions, and started the following game against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. However, Arbuckle was injured on the team's first drive of that game, with Doege taking over.[22] He completed 34 of 49 pass attempts for 324 yards with two touchdowns, but also threw four interceptions and was sacked seven times in the loss to the Tiger-Cats.[22] Doege's 34 completions coming in relief of the starter set a CFL record, besting Taylor Powell's record 30 completions set in 2024.[23] Soon after the game, the Argonauts announced that Arbuckle would be out for the rest of the season and that Doege would be the starter for the next game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders.[24]
