Trade Steals

Traded Aaron Rodgers and Torry Holt for Matt Cassel and Reggie Wayne. The trade was good because at the time I had Romo and Rodgers, so Rodgers was expendable, and Holt sucked and still sucks, and I got a top notch WR and serviceable bye week QB. Now that Romo's out, it would be nice to have Rodgers as opposed to Cassel, but I picked up Garcia so I can manage, and I don't regret the trade at all.

Traded Julius Jones for Payton Manning after week 3. I think Jones has cracked 50 yds maybe once since then. As of last week, I thought this trade was more of a steal than I do right now but I now have the luxury of deciding between McNabb or Manning each week and Jones would be buried on my depth chart right now.

Two QB league, and I was hurting early at the position.

 

After Week 1, and with depth at RB, I swapped Willie Parker (after his HUGH Week 1 performance) and Branch for Rodgers & Colston.

 

Rodgers has solidified my QB position (start him and Warner), while Colston should perform very well down the stretch once he gets in sync.

 

Parker, or course, has been on the shelf since Week 3 after a dismal Week 2.

What: Salary Cap Dynasty League:

 

Scene: Draft Day Trade with a notorious "lop-sided" trade offerer:

 

Move: I offer Marques Colston for Calvin Megatron Johnson.

 

Result: Week ONE - Head to Head matchup with the trade partner = Megatron scores more than Colston and the difference gets me a 1POINT WIN !!

 

Colston then promptly injures himself and has not been seen again..... :D:wacko:

Alright guys, I need to come clean. I started this thread because I wanted to show off my steals. I apologize for gloating, but can you blame me?

 

Trade 1

Traded Le'Ron McClain for Kurt Warner.

 

I had drafted Anderson and Bulger, so I was desperate for a QB. I picked up McClain off waivers while he was dominating and traded him two days later for Warner. The reason why this worked was the Warner owner also had E. Manning and Cutler.

 

Trade 2

Traded Dewayne Bowe and Darren Sproles for Andre Johnson.

 

I had Johnson on my team last year, so I knew what he was worth even when he had 3 bad games in a row. I offered Bowe and Sproles (who I picked up off waivers) to the Johnson (and LT) owner after Johnson's two bad games, and he declined. After Johnson's third bad game, I offered the same trade and the pissed owner accepted. I too have not lost a game after trading for AJ.

Johnson only had two bad games (@JAC, @TEN) and a hurricane related bye week. I don't understand how everyone got down on him so quickly, he had 10 catches the first week.

You're right, it was only two bad weeks. Thanks for the help. I think the reason everyone got down was it was his second and third week of the season, so they made the mistake of making a decision on a very small sample size.

I left my draft with

Gararrd and Ryan at QB

 

Lynch, gore & selvin young at rb

 

and Steve smith, berrian, hines ward & roy williams at wr

 

and Kevin boss at TE

 

After wk 3 I was sitting at 1 & 2 and hating life.

 

Then prior to week 4 I traded

Roy Williams & Steve Slaton(to a guy who thinks you need 8 rb's ina leaguethat starts 2)

for

Kurt Warner & Muhammad

 

Then prior to week 5 I traded

M Lynch & Steve Smith(to a carolina homer)

for

Michael Turner & Calvin Johnson

 

And just prior to week 6 I traded

D Gararrd(to a guy with 2 te's and no qb)

for

A. Gates

 

3 weeks and 3 trades involving 10 players. This is by far the most trading I have ever done and now my starting offense not counting byes, which of course are nearly done, is:

qb - Warner

rb - Gore

rb - Turner

wr - Ward

wr - Johnson/Berrian (depending on matchups)

te - Gates

 

instead of my draft day lineup of

Gararrd

Gore

Lynch

Ward

Smith

Boss

 

And I have gone 3-1 since I started making trades and am now 4-3 and tied for 1st in my division with this weeks game against the team I am tied with, life ain't so bad afterall.

10 team PPR - team in my signature.

 

- Before the season began, I traded away W Dunn and Ju. Jones for Chris Johnson and Eddie Royal.

 

- Week 4 I then traded Chris Johnson for J Addai straight across.

 

- In week 5 I traded J Addai and D McNabb for P Manning and Matt Forte

 

- Week 7 I then traded M Forte for S Jackson straight up (last week before the Dallas game)

 

Which brings me to my current team in my signature.

Did these two with my sig team. Before the season started traded Selvin Young for Roddy White, was worried about 85's prospects and the other guy was really weak on RBs. Made the trade before Shanny's RBBC carousel lowered his value.

 

I drafted Rivers and Rodgers and picked Warner off the wire before the season started. Guy offered me Portis for Rivers after seeing Delhomme and Garrard struggle. Best part was I offered Rodgers for Portis the week before and he declined.

 

Portis and White have been instrumental in my 6-1 start. :wacko:

I can see why. Having Roddy White twice on your roster must be great. I've been trying to get another version of Barber in one of my leagues to pair up with mine but I'm not having any luck.

Never really found an advantage in trading with myself :wacko::D

This may sound really ridiculous now, but when I made this trade in week 3, it didn;t seem so bad.

 

I traded Matt Cassell and Darren McFadden for Steven Jackson.

 

I love SJax now. Also have Chris Johnson. Choose to sit LT last weekend after much inner debat. LT, welcome to the bench again this week my friend.

I traded Le'Ron McClain, LT and Cotchery for Brandon Marshall, TJ Housh, and Ryan Grant. Since that trade, McClain has basically been relegated to spot duty behind McGahee, LT hasn't done squat, and Cotchery is hurt. Marshall and Housh are GOLD in a PPR league, and Ryan Grant may be coming around now... before the trade, 1-3. I'm now 4-3, scoring more points than any other team over the last three games. Trading LT is a gamble with so much season left, but I am gambling that he just won't produce at a high level this year. Plus I needed a spark just to get into position to make the playoffs.
