slimshady31 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Fellow Huddlers, Am 3-1 in my FFL league with the team in my sig below. Been offered two trades this week by owners who are panicking: Offer#1 J.Cutler for Julius Jones Offer#2 P.Manning and M.Bush for Portis and Calvin Johnson The first offer is intriguing since Cutler is throwing to Marshall and Royal and posting big yardage numbers. And however much I hate to give up J.Jones as a backup, his value is high right now and I still would have Portis and LJ as my #1 and #2 RBs. Am thinking of countering the Cutler for JJ offer and see if the other owner will bite on offering up Brees instead. Then I think I need to pull the trigger definitely, right (?) The second offer I think I'd be giving up way too much for P.Manning in that deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second offer I think I'd be giving up way too much for P.Manning in that deal. I agree with your analysis. No way on Offer 2, I still like offer 1, I think as Seattle gets healthier ( Branch and Engram are coming back and Morris will be back in a few weeks, which to me means JJ stock goes down. Right now he is at his most valuable, I think as the season progresses his output will decline sharply. You should try to get Brees, but I would still get Cutler if he won't do it, Denver laid an egg against KC on the road, to many turnovers, they will score tons of points through the air all year long, plain and simple. Cutler will be amongst the top 3 QB this year. Cutler or Bress are huge upgrades over your current QB's, you have to do it. You will be lucky if the trade doesn't get axed for un-fairness by veto or the commish. HAHAHA, its a steal IMHO Edited October 2, 2008 by breadtruck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimshady31 Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 Thanks Breadtruck. Agreed. My line of thinking is also that once SEA gets all it's weapons back on offense for Hasselbeck, then JJ's value decreases because SEA will throw more and then Morris will cut into carries. I'm just concerned about leaving me depleted at backup RB's with only Selvin Young and Rudi Johnson to go to. Owner didn't offer Brees in return, so it's Cutler or nothing. Do you have any posts and I'll answer yours, thanks. Any other opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Company of Heroes Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Definitely agree. Go with Offer 1, not Offer 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RattlerB Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Man, I'd take Cutler and head for the hills quick! I really wouldn't worry about Brees either. Sure, the Broncos looked bad against KC, but don't forget Brees dropped a few stinkbombs last year and still had great numbers. I think you can ride Cutler to the promised land! Maybe try to unload one of your other QBs for a backup RB... Please answer mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
