The Ottawa RedBlacks, the CFL's newest team, signed its first four players in franchise history on Friday.
General Manager Marcel Desjardins signed wide receiver Fred Rouse, defensive back Nick Turnbull, defensive end DiMetrio Tyson and defensive back Jerrell Gavins this week.
Rouse started his college football career with Florida State in 2005 before completing it with Concordia-Selma in Alabama. He's been on the Calgary Stampeders' practice roster and played for the Omaha Nighthawks of the United Football League.
Turnbull played college ball at Florida International and appeared in three NFL regular season games with the Atlanta Falcons and Chicago Bears.
Tyson played at Jacksonville State and mostly recently played with the San Jose SaberCats of the Arena Football League (AFL). Gavins played for Boise State in college and the Tampa Bay Storm of the AFL. He had a tryout at Tampa Bay Buccaneers' rookie mini-camp earlier this year as well.
"These players will have an opportunity to make our roster once we get onto the field for camp in the spring," said Desjardins.
The CFL expansion draft is on Dec. 16 where Ottawa will select 24 players from the eight other CFL teams. This includes eight imports and 16 non-imports.
CFL free agency starts Feb. 15 at noon.
