etrain1234 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) Last night, my buddy approached me to see if I was interested in trading for Mattthew Stafford since my other QB is Eli and he's been struggling. He asked for a WR in return. Well, we agreed on Decker and our Decker for Stafford trade processed last night. Yes, my buddy knew Decker was injured. But obviously, neither of us knew he'd be placed on IR today. Do you think the trade should be reversed? Do I "owe him one" and try to make things right by trading him a different WR? I'm not sure what to do here. And to make matters worse, I'm the Commish of the league. Thoughts?

Sucks for him, but dems the breaks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge Smales Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Unless you knew inside information you didn't do anything wrong. I am always reluctant to trade away or trade for anyone with a status like Decker for this reason. You feel bad no matter which side of the deal you are on I think those are the breaks and you move on. You don't undo the trade or throw him a bone in another trade. You both had the same information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrelmastr21 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Its obviously up to you since you are getting the player and are commish. You can rescind if you feel bad but you don't owe it to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 13ers Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) I believe because you are posting this, you are having guilty thoughts. There was always a chance this could have happened. He took a gamble and lost. I guess if you don't want to have hard feelings, you could rescind the trade. Personally, I'd say 'screw him'. All is fair in love and FF!

RiseUp Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 If he wasn't a friend would you feel as bad? If the team getting Decker was 5-0 and a 90% favorite to win the league would you feel as bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the team getting Decker was 5-0 and a 90% favorite to win the league would you feel as bad? If I weren't the Commish, I wouldn't feel as bad. And the guy I traded with is 4-1. I'm going to wait and see if he says anything. Reversing would be messy, because he already picked up another QB in waivers last night.

Bowman Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Maybe you owe him a beer. But that's the way it goes in FF. He knew the risk. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I don't think you should rescind the trade. If you feel bad and want to give him "past considerations" on a future trade (let it skew a bit in his favor) I think that is ok. He took a risk. Hopefully your league won't complain because you are the commish, doesn't mean you knew in advance that Decker was gonig to IR. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolphin_Akie Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Agree with the consensus. Decker's current injury was built into his value during trade negotiations and thats the risk with trading for a guy who has missed the last two games.

tebby Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 to be honest he still got the better deal. At least an injured Decker can't shatter your hopes and dreams. Good luck with Stafford though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with Stafford though. Thanks! Now I get to choose between Stafford and Eli every week and most likely start the wrong guy every time.

MothAudio Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Its obviously up to you since you are getting the player and are commish. You can rescind if you feel bad but you don't owe it to him. This. But since you are the commish, and as a former commish, most everything you do that appears to benefit you is often times questioned by your league mates. Something to consider.

Judge Smales Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 You'll open up a lot of potential issues doing anything other than letting the trade stand IMO. The next time a trade happens and one player gets hurt you know you'll get asked to reverse the trade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 he's a dumbass anyway for trading for a guy who was already hurt. Tough luck Meh, he traded a streamable QB for a shot at a WR that had upside if/when he made it back. Risk was worth it, imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etrain1234 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 I spoke with the guy last night. The trade is upheld. He blamed himself for not researching Decker more thoroughly but you guys are right. He only gave up Stafford, who he'd never use anyway since he has Brady.

stevegrab Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 When Brady has his bye in week he would have used Stafford, and the Lions face the Vikings that week. He may thank you for the trade because it will make him grab somebody off waivers, who probably does better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
