section122 Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Completed the trade finally after much haggling what do you think? PPR/keeper league gave: forte got: rg3, Andre Brown (handcuff as I already have Bradshaw) I know preseason he got the best of me but in the league RG3 is the top point scorer and now I have a rb no matter if Bradshaw goes down or not. How do you think I did? Currently trying to package Stafford/Mendenhall to a qb needy team for LeSean McCoy Quote

How do you think I did? Currently trying to package Stafford/Mendenhall to a qb needy team for LeSean McCoy If you already had Stafford I don't like this trade at all unless you can somehow get McCoy. The second trade makes the first one defensible, hopefully you get it done. Quote
Buftex Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 Assuming you have a decent group of running backs, Forte for RGIII in a keeper league sounds like a great deal, for you. I like Forte a lot, as an NFL running back, but, he is another year older, has been battling nagging injuries, and, has always had some limitations, inherent in the Bears offense, that limit his greatness. I live the deal... if you can get McCoy for Stafford, I love the deal! Quote
section122 Posted October 7, 2012 Author Posted October 7, 2012 It got vetoed by the league in under 3 hours lol Quote
Buftex Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 The trade of Forte for RGIII/A.Brown got vetoed? Under what grounds? It seems like a fair deal to me, especially since you are in a keeper league. You are getting a QB that, at least in most leagues, was likely drafted as a backup, and the the other person is getting a starting caliber running back. Quote
section122 Posted October 12, 2012 Author Posted October 12, 2012 I think it got vetoed because I'm at the top of my division and thought if I made the trade it must be unfair. I thought it was fair as I was giving him my 2nd round pick for his 11th and a waiver pick up. Good news is he dropped Brown this week as he is hurt (so I have a waiver claim in to get him for free) and RG3 got banged up and I would have lost had I started him. I made sure to thank everyone for vetoing the trade - which no one liked Quote
