DaVaris Daniels has left the herd.

The two American receivers — a pair of vital cogs in the passing game of the Calgary Stampeders in past years — signed on in the off-season with the CFL’s Edmonton Eskimos and NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles respectively, leaving the Grey Cup champions in need of a few new dynamic international hands-men for the upcoming campaign.

On Tuesday, the Stamps announced a handful of possible successors — Daniel Braverman, Shay Fields, Christian Gibbs and Aaron Peck.

“We’re just kind of wrapping up getting our American rookies signed,” said Stamps director of player personnel Brendan Mahoney. “We had our mini-camp down there in Florida a couple weeks ago. We had some younger college guys waiting to see how the NFL Draft process played out (over the weekend).

“Now they’ve got some clarity and we’ve got them signed.”
