Wasnt free
Westy has 1 yr contract left and I was not going to pay to keep him and I was not going to start him this season so I got what I could. No one else made an offer so what can I say? I need a DL player and a pick so I got it.
MBIII I never liked to be honest, the only reason I signed him in the off season (and paid for it) is because he was the LAST RB to be had and everyone matched my other offers. And this year to make it worst, MBIII has Choice on the rise and Felix Jones (when healthy) will take his touches. So in a league where you can only start 2 RB, I do not like him so I am happy I got a young Wells with huge upside. Having said that, it doesnt hurt that I got Cedric Benson and is having a year that I did not expect, had I predicted this from him I would never have signed MBIII to begin with.
And Wells was drafted pretty high if I remember correctly, so trading MBIII for a high pick sounds right to me.
