Yes. One can understand Reed's trade for a team in a rebuilding mode of 32 year old OL Philip Blake and 30 year old WR Lavoie to the Riders for a second round draft pick and 24 year old National WR Josh Stanford who had 17 receptions this year. However, Ackie is only 26, and in his fourth season has jumped from 17 to 81 DT, which is fifth in the CFL, in addition to a TD, a sack, a forced fumble and two interceptions.
