I quite like the move, it shakes up the receiving core. As good as Cope was last year, he was going to get cut had he not taken the pay cut couple years back. Cope torched the Eskimos last year and he was decent against the rest of the clubs. The guy can still play but when you have Rambo, Bryant, Lewis returning, Cope would've been the 5th option in the offense behind Reynolds as well.
Huff says the SMS wasn't the issue but getting younger is a good thing. We are still stacked at the receiving position. Rambo and Bryant will lineup on the outside providing crap load of speed and skill. Lewis and PK on the inside with Franklin and Ralph as the backups. The only thing is to open up a Canadian spot somewhere else. I'm not sure but the DB that was drafted last year, Fraser, could potentially play the safety spot or halfback.
