Hey there, time traveller!

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers announced Monday afternoon that they’ve released veteran non-import offensive lineman Steve Morley and veteran import defensive end Jason Vega.
Bombers general manager Kyle Walters referenced salary cap considerations in a statement announcing Morley and Vega had been cut.
“We have been very active throughout the offseason, through free agency and such, and with that come decisions you must make in regards to the salary management system,” said Walters. “Both Steve and Jason are very solid individuals, and we sincerely thank them for their time with the Blue Bombers.”
Morley played six seasons for the Bombers but was widely expected to be released after the Bombers spent heavily over the winter to upgrade their offensive line with the free agent acquisitions of centre Dominic Picard, left tackle Stanley Bryant and right tackle Marc Dile.
Vega played two impressive seasons for the Bombers in 2011 and 2012, parlaying that into brief NFL stints with the New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys in 2013.
Vega returned to the Bombers in 2014 but he missed nine games in what was an injury-plagued season.
