Hey there, time traveller!

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have added a half dozen more players to their training camp roster, just prior to the opening of Wednesday’s rookie camp.
In addition to Canadians Garrett Waggoner and Addison Richards, who agreed to terms on Tuesday, the club has added import defensive backs Dominique Franks and Shaquille Richardson and receivers Greg Childs and David Gettis.
All six will be on the field by the Winnipeg Soccer Complex when camp opens.
Franks (6’0″, 200, Oklahoma) is a veteran of five NFL seasons after being originally selected by Atlanta in the fifth round, 135th overall, of the 2010 NFL Draft and was most recently with the Baltimore Ravens in 2014, where he played in four games, starting one. He started 28 games with the Sooners, and was a first-team All-Big-12 all-star as a senior.
Richardson (6’1″, 190, Arizona) was a fifth-roundround pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2014 NFL and spent part of the season on their practice roster before being released. Richardson had a four year career at Arizona, where he started all 13 games in his senior season of 2013, recording 55 tackles, three interceptions and four passes defended.
Childs (6’3″, 215, Arkansas) played four years with the Razorbacks, making 28 starts and was a fourth-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings in 2012.
Gettis (6’3″, 220, Baylor) is a veteran of 17 NFL games after being selected by Carolina in the 2010 NFL Draft (198th overall). He recorded 37 career catches for 508 yards and three touchdowns for the Panthers. He then spent time on the practice rosters of Washington and Tampa Bay.
The Bombers also announce today that International defensive back Ryan Mouton has been released.
In addition, the Bomber depth chart released to the media today has one notable change: Chris Randle has been moved from cornerback to SAM linebacker.
