I just completed a MONSTER trade

[Phlegm Alley]

My roster was:

 

QB: McNabb, Favre, Brees

RB: LT, Ronnie Brown, Gore, Chester Taylor, Mike Bell

WR: Holt, Driver, Roy Williams, A. Bryant, Lee Evans

TE: Heath Miller, Randy McMichael

D: Chargers

K: Carney

 

His Roster was:

 

QB: Warner, Bulger, Pennington

RB: LJ, Caddy, Jamal Lewis, Deangelo Williams, Michael Turner

WR: Darrel Jackson, Plaxico Burress, Hines Ward, Drew Bennett, Reggie Brown

TE: Shockey, Desmond Clark

D: Bears

K: Wilkins

 

 

 

I gave him:

Favre, Gore, Lee Evans, McMichael, M. Bell

 

FOR

 

Bulger, Caddy, Plaxico, Desmond Clark, and Michael Turner (handcuffs my LT)

 

 

I think this is a GREAT trade for me. I give up Gore who is losing GL carries because he fumbles and Favre, who may lose his job if GB keeps on losing, my 5th WR, my back-up TE, and M. Bell who was nothing to me anyways. And I get a solid #2 WR, a RB (Caddy) that everyone has given up on, the currently 3rd ranked TE after three weeks, and an important handcuff to LT who is having a great year in mop up duty thus far.

 

What do you guys think???

[JimBob2232]

Favre, Gore, Lee Evans, McMichael, M. Bell

 

FOR

 

Bulger, Caddy, Plaxico, Desmond Clark, and Michael Turner (handcuffs my LT)

 

Lets look at the 5 individual swaps

 

Farve for Bulger - Sold Favre high. I'd rather have Bulger in the long run. Good Move. Still likely will only start 1 week unless McNabb goes down. I think you can get rid of brees now.

 

Gore for Caddilac - Gore still has the better upside here. Is this a PPR league? Thats where gore is really good. Otherwise, I think this was a bit of a panic sell. At best, you took a slight loss on this trade.

 

Lee Evans for Plaxico Burress. Sold evans very low. I think he will see some big games shortly. That said, Burress is a pretty good reciever, and should put up more consistent numbers with Eli. slight edge to you for consistency.

 

McMicheal for Clark. I dont know what to think of Clark. But i know this, you sold mcmicheal very low and picked up Clark very high. Not usually a good plan. But I dont know what the deal with mcmicheal is this year, so I give you the edge.

 

 

Mike Bell for Turner. Can you keep Turner for next year? If so, this is a steal. If not, there is litttle chance turner will see much action. Bell might also be done, but its devner, so you never know. If you didnt have LT, I would say you lose this deal. Since you have LT and can use Turner as a handcuff...i'd say even.

 

So...

Favre for Bulger - Slight edge to you

Gore for Cadillac - Slight loss for you (even bigger loss if PPR)

Evans for Burress - Slight edge to you

McMicheal for Clark - Slight edge to you

Bell for Turner - Even (big edge to you if you can keep turner).

Intangibles: Gore and Favre are injury prone guys.

To be honest, Burress is the only plus player for player. That said, I wish you well.

Jimbob, overall, I agree with you...I don't think it was a great trade....but are you saying Brett Favre is injury prone? I think he is now up to 226 consecutive starts...personally, I think Donavan McNabb is more likely to miss time to injury than is Brett Favre...
