[champ23]

at least thru week 7 it's lookin like i got a steal.....in a PPR league I traded derrick mason for kevin jones. definitely happy so far.

 

[One]

Not so great:

traded Gore for Alexander before the injury. :(

 

[champ23]

Not so great:traded Gore for Alexander before the injury. :(

if alexander comes back at full strength and hasslebeck is still out he could put up big numbers for your team during the playoff weeks...if you get in, of course. i think when it matters the most that could pay off for you.

Before last week's games I traded Reggie Brown for Hines Ward and Leon Washington. (.5 PPR Dynasty). I was happy with the trade before the weekend's games, and I sure wasn't any less happy in the aftermath.

 

[delusional]

1. week 1 ish. I traded Ahman Green for McNair ( i had brees and leftwich at qb, didnt know they would be servicable )

2. traded SA and Leftwich for Peyton and Michael Turner

3. Early in the year i rejected a trade that would have gave me Holt and S.Jax for Edge and Chad Johnson..

 

[BoulderBob]

I pawned off Bush for Roy Williams after week 2..

 

[dlptown]

Just traded Branch for Eli and am happy about it as I have qbbc with Harrington, Brooks, Smith and Romo............

 

[valhallan]

Got Branch for Bryant two weeks ago.. looked great while Hasselbeck was playing.

 

[krsone21]

A week before the season started while Clinton Portis was injured I traded for him. I traded Lamont Jordan who is 39th RB in our league for Clinton Portis who is the 5th RB in our league.

Last week-end I was approached about a trade prospect in my dynasty league, Demetrius Williams WR Baltimore & Patrick Crayton WR Dallas for Maurice Jones-Drew RB Jacksonville ... I chuckled to myself and responded that I didn't think that would quite work out for me, but I'd certainly be willing to work together to find a better fit for both sides.

The inquireing party was sitting around .500 and hovering in the bottom half of the opposing division to my team in a 14 team IDP Dynasty League .. his team isn't very well structured as he's new to FF but he did have Peyton Manning so there was definately some value to be had ... we met on the league chat board and discussed a few possabilities, realities and the weather and such and I told him I thought he needed to restructure his squad since all his strength was resting on Peyton's shoulders.

He agreed but like any Peyton owner he was pretty convinced it wouldn't be a good idea to let him go but was willing to listen to a proposal .. so here's what we came up with

He gave up

Peyton Manning

Thomas Jones

LJ Smith

Braylon Edwards

Jim Sorgie

in return I gave up

Chad Pennington

Vince Young

Maurice Jones Drew

Chris Chambers

Jerrico Cotchery

Bo Scaife

D'Qwell Jackson

Kellen Clemens

Later in the week-end I shipped Ernie Sims off for Hinse Ward & a 2007 6th rounder ... beaucoup sweet deal there

Then I returned to my original partner and balanced out our deal with Ward for Cotchery and a 2007 3rd rounder.

In the end the deal looks like this

He gave

Peyton Manning

Thomas Jones

LJ Smith

Braylon Edwards

Jim Sorgie

2007 3rd round draft pick

I gave

Chad Pennington

Vince Young

Maurice Jones Drew

Chris Chambers

Hinse Ward

Bo Scaife

D'Qwell Jackson

Kellen Clemens

I'd say I had a pretty good week-end in the trade market!

 

[Jagov]

My best trade to date was between weeks 4 and 5. Gave up DeAngelo Williams and Isaac Bruce. Got Tatum Bell and Randy Moss in return.

 

[towney]

Last Week

Traded D. Rhodes for Farve

Rhodes sat on my bench and I lost Bledsoe, so I thought Farve was a better option then Romo pickup (also have Vick).

Other owner has been hurting with the loss of Alexander out and only Bush as his #2 and he also had Grossman and Eli with Farve. Good trade for both of us.

 

[pghrob]

12 team league / 16 man rosters. I drafted 12th

My week 1 team:

QB - Vick, Simms

RB - Alexander (keeper), FWP, Droughns, McAllister, Morrency

WR - Steve Smith, Roy Williams, Housh, Branch, Kennison, Mike Clayton

TE - Watson

K - Jeff Reed

D/ST - Sehawks

Draft was held Aug. 20th

After week 1, there was still no immediate information about Steve Smith. Zero, zilch nada. In fact, IIRC, he was on his 2nd hamstring injury.

Well, stupid me was worried about SS being hurt well into the season. So I offered Branch and Deuce to the guy with Fitzgerald. He said Fitz was for sale, but he would want SS. I mulled it over a day or so and thought well, OK, but in that time, the word/speculation on Smith still was quite bad. At that point, I was quietly excited at the prospect of having Fitz, drinking all that kool-aid. He said he could do the deal if I threw in Deuce to offset the injury risk to SS and his hamstrings.

So like a dumb ###, I traded Deuce and SS for Fitzgerald between week 1 and 2.

Since then, Alexander breaks his foot, Deuce looks marginally good at RB, SS healed and returned to his usual self in week 3, Fitz went down in week 5 with ironically a bad hamstring, and my once promising team is now 1-6.

after week 2 i traded Warrick Dunn and DeAngleo Williams for Donovan McNabb and Fred Taylor, reaquired Warrick Dunn after a couple of more weeks, then traded Dunn (again) and Roy Williams for Marvin Harrison and Frank Gore

I love to trade. Unfortunately my projections for this season have forced me to trade because my team has been lousy.

During the draft I selected 10th and didn't love the pick so I traded my 10th and 15th to the 6th pick for his 6th and 19th. I picked R Brown and L Fitz for those that are interested.

Then during the draft I realized I misdrafted by accident and wound up trading Braylon Edwards for a 19th round pick in which I selected Jerome Harrison. That one didn't work out too well for me.

The 4th week I was finally able to unload Jamal Lewis and Musa Smith for Dallas Clark, Randy Moss and D Stallworth. I think I may have gotten the better end of this one for now.

Week 6 I needed a TE (Stevens) and was short in my free agent budget so I traded M Robinson to the Gore owner for H Miller who got me 1.5 pts.

Week 7 I traded H Miller and R Wayne for T Heap (number 1 TE in my league). I also traded R Grossman and T Jones for Bulger and V Morency in week 7.

This week I just traded R Brown and L Fitz for C Taylor, C Benson (keeper eligible) and a 7th round pick next year. Well see how that one works out for me.

So I think I went from a weak squad to one that can compete with my pick up of leon washington after week 4.

Team week 1

Plummer

T Jones

R Brown

J Lewis

R Wayne

L Fitz

Wiggins

Feeley

Team week 8

Bulger

C Taylor

L Washington

Maroney/Stallworth (flex undecided)

Moss

B Johnson/Stallworth (undecided)

Heap

Scobey

 

[fdnyjets]

Lamont Jordan for Holt week 3

 

[Freakny26]

yesterday

gore,mason,for plax and evans.we will see.

 

[G-Money]

I've had a slow go of it on the trade fronts this year. I did swing a deal last night though.

Got Willie Parker for Plaxico.........straight up.

 

[laughinboy_2000]

My team before the trade:

QB: Bulgar, Favre, Pennington

RB: Ronnie Brown, Chestor Taylor, Lawrence Marony, Barber III, Chris Perry

WR: Holt, Santana Moss (hurt), Lee Evans, Greg Jennings (hurt), Braylon Edwards

TE: Gates

K : Gould

D : NYG

I just traded Mark Bulgar for Reggie Wayne. Why? When was the last time Bulgar played a whole season. Also, their upcoming schedule is brutal. @SD, KC, @Carolina, Chicago, Wash.

Colts have an easier schedule, especially during playoff time!

Not sure if this was an even trade, but Bulgar has been taking a lot of hits lately and makes me nervous.

 

[Bri]

I traded Hines Ward and Heap for Andre, still like that deal. I was real apprehensive as Hines has been a gem for me for the last few years but Andre rocks

 

[comfortably numb]

The Good

After Gonzo's week 1 preformance, I traded him for KJones

I gave up Wayne for Chester Taylor

The bad (for now anyway)

Gave up Mcnabb and FWP

for Pepper and Portis

I mainly wanted to get rid os FWP as I don't like his schedule for the playoffs.

 

[Ned]

i traded mcgahee/2007 2nd for keyshawn johnson

 

[pyite76]

10 team dynasty league, with IDPs.

I gave up Kevin Jones, Brian Calhoun and a first round pick in 2007

for

Cadillac Williams, Michael Pittman, and a 2nd and 3rd rounder in 2007

Right now I am still happy about the trade, but don't think I haven't noticed KJ blowing up.

Long term I like Caddy better, so I pulled the trigger.

 

[tandl71]

Great:

Got Thomas Jones and Jeff Wilkins

for

Jamal Lewis and Brett Favre

Not so Great:

Traded away TJ Houshmanzadeh and Hines Ward

for

Chad Johnson

Kills me every time I hear TJ in now the #1. Didn't like Ward's 3 TDs last week, either.

 

[turkishkamel]

had a ton of RB depth and nothing at WR so... traded frank gore for torry holt and ladell betts after week 2. i'm pretty happy

 

[derek19]

Great trades:

Branch and KJ for Steve Smith

TO, Deuce for 1.04 rook (picked Maroney), wayne and bernard berrian

M. Turner and owen daniels for alge and lamont Jordan

 

[qimqam]

3. Early in the year i rejected a trade that would have gave me Holt and S.Jax for Edge and Chad Johnson..

You rejected that trade? And they still allow you to play in that league?

Holt who is better than CJ every year and Jackson vs the Cardinal RB.

 

[Purpulhippo999]

when gore was on fire i traded him for boldin straight up

i own boldin, fitzgerald and leinart in a 2-player keeper league now

i also traded chester taylor for roy williams and byron leftwich which has worked out well for me

recently i just traded marvin harrison and rudi johnson for TO, tatum bell and julius jones and im not sure how that will pan out

[Wingnut]

[Mr. Sparkle]

I traded Deuce McAllister for TO.

 

[BAT1man]

[Wheezer34]

Traded J. Lewis for Driver in Week 3

 

[Bossman]

In the pre-season (Dynasty IDP)

I gave:

Caddy and Kyle Boller (pre-McNair)

for:

S.Jax and a 4th rookie pick

 

[finashkey]

Most of the "smart" owners in my PPR league werent buying the LJ hype at all, so 2 days before the Pittsburgh opener I traded:

Fitz/Parker for LJ/Chester...

Then, since I lost Fitz from my starting lineup of Holt, Fitz, Driver, Coles, I did this:

Thomas Jones for Housh, sat him for two weeks and everyone knows what he's done since
