The other aspect to trading Burris is that in a way the Stamps sent Burris somewhere they could control. They could decide where to send him rather than cutting him loose and allowing him to sign anywhere else. I don't know for sure but I would guess that if the Stamps had just cut him, the Esks would have made an offer. That would have been the worst outcome for the Stamps imo considering they play Edmonton 3 or 4 times every year. Not to mention, right now, the Esks have the worst QB depth in the league, in fact, they are not even close to anyone else.
