BjuddBucs Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Let me start by saying that currently I am 5-0 and have a 3 game lead in my division. I have been seeking out a trade that can help me have a stronger team towards the end of the season since I am a lock for the playoffs pretty much. I think I found it and am looking for any advice. My Current Lineup: (my league requires starting only 1 QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1FLX (RB, QB, or WR), 1TE, 1DST) QB: Jay Cutler QB: Matt Hasselbeck QB: Daunte Culpepper RB: Addai/Keith RB: Portis RB: Ahman Green/Dayne WR: Plaxico WR: Andre Johnson WR: Derrick Mason WR: Andre Davis TE: BO SCHAFE Now, I could stand pat and e in okay shape, but I have a huge gaping hole at TE and I would like a higher potential RB than Portis or Green. I have been offered: Cutler & Portis for Frank Gore & Dallas Clark Now, I will lose this week because Clark, Addai, & Gore are on Bye so I will have to start Dayne & Green just to fill out a legal roster. However, in the long term, do you think Gore is going to pick it up with a lighter schedule coming up towards the end of the season? Clark is top 2 TE so thats a no-brainer. Bottom line, I dont care about losing this week. An undefeated season would be cool, but losing at the end wouldnt. If I do this trade, I go to 5-1, but my starting line-up for the rest of the year (since all my RB have passed bye weeks) would be: QB: Hasselbeck RB: Addai RB: Gore FLX: Green or Culpepper WR: A Johnson WR: Plax TE: Clark If I dont do it, I am looking at: QB: Hasselbeck RB: Addai RB: Portis FLX: Cutler/Green WR: A Johnson WR: Plax TE: ????? (waiver wire?) PLEASE gimme any input. Tell me I am a moron for thinking about it at all, or the other way around. But I am very torn and this is my first time on the site so I am taking a shot. Thanks. P.S. - My league is weighted towards running backs for scoring. For reference, Gore went for $62 at the draft and Cutler went for $20.

BjuddBucs Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 Anyone? Sorry for how long the post was, but basically, Portis & Cutler for Gore & Dallas Clark.... opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfdigger Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 The way I see it Cutler is a throw in the way he is playing, so it is Portis for Gore and Clark. I do that deal.

If you are still in contention and can afford 1 or 2 L's, I say stand pat. If not, go for it because the trade helps you now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
