Traded FWP for Housh and Burleson. Hated to give up FWP in a keep-2 league where he'd count as my 8th round pick next year, but I'm in first place and needed to solidify my WR corps (especially in a PPR league) for the stretch run, thanks to Michael Clayton jerking it up like a jerk. Plus I'm blessed with an RB overload (DD, Westbrook, T. Jones, LJ, FWP, can only start 2) Hard to find a trading partner in this league, especially being in first place.

In a redraft league, I traded:Mike AndersonTatum BellTJ Houshmanzadahand Darrell JacksonForSteve SmithChris Chambersand Chris PerryIt was basically a trade of the Denver backs for Smith, but he needed a little more. With Owens' little problem 
I really needed help at WR.

Before TO's suspension but after the incident, I gaveMcNair, Keyshawn Johnson, Lamar GordonforLosman, Reggie Brown, Chris BrownDynasty league, I have TO, he has Westbrook. Scary thing is my QBs have gone from CPep and Leftwich at the beginning of the year (man, was I set there!) to Orton, Losman and Batch. I had traded Leftwich for McNair + earlier.

Yardage league .1 point rush/rec, .05 passing, (no td's)I trade Delhomme, Barlow, LJ Smith for Steven Jackson, Dilfer, Dallas Clark.Gives me:QB - P Manning, Bledsoe, DilferRB - Edge, SJ, FosterWR - Holt, Driver, G Lewis, R WilliamsTE - Gates, Da ClarkK - Kaeding, ScobeeTraded depth for a legitimate stud rb. Got Barlow in a trade for Bettis 3 weeks ago with the FWP owner to cover a bye. LJ was a 13th round pick, and Delhomme was a WW pickup to cover the Manning bye. Other person needed to upgrade at all his positions with byes and DD being a GT decision.

Should be close to trading deadline time, if it hasn't already passed.One last bump...what are you guys doing this week?
12-team redraft.Gave Barlow, got Muhammad. Barlow's no better than RB3. My gut is telling me Mushy will be a very nice WR2 in the second half.Currently shopping Randy Moss. Sick of seeing only a handful of decent targets a week, and ~3 catches.Tried to give RMoss for Chad, declined.Trying to give RMoss for Burress FWP and ATL D. Waiting...

Jackson's Bye.Other WR are(C. johnson,Driver,TJ)Week 10Trade offered to me:I trade:TJ and BellFor Eli and Mushin.Why? My QB's where Brunell and Bress.

In a 14 team league, we start 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, 1Flex(QB/RB/WR/TE), plus K, DL, LB, DB. Fairly standard scoring, with 1ppr for RB and WR, 2ppr for TE. An owner was desparate to win this week and needed a starting RB desparately. I sent him Kevin Curtis and Marcel Shipp......he sent me Torry Holt. Needless to say, I'm very happy today.

McNabb & a 2006 4th rd pick for P. Manning and a 9th rd pick.Why? He wanted the TO hookup (this was done Sunday morning, which was pre-suspension). I had rolled the dice with McNabb enough this year and I wanted more stability.

I've made three in the past 12 hours and have a couple others in the works. I tradeded Michael Clayton in a DYNASTY league for Bruce straight up. Just figured Bruce had more potentional playoff help this year for me then CLAYTON would and traded to the last place team building for future. In another league I just traded Droughns and Roy Williams for Owens and Henery. ONE KEEPER RECEIVER A YEAR! I have been keeping Gonzales and his keeper days and bonus for BEING top TE are coming to an end! The other guy had Suggs and Randy Moss. Droughns was my 4th option at best at RB (start 2)and Roy wouldnt be used even when healthy by me so made a lot of since for my 2006 keepers! I also just traded Burelson and Martin TE gb in a DYNASTY league for Jenkins and Kinney. GAVE ME MORE IMMEDIATE DEPTH AT TE and Owens will be in ATLANTA SOON making Jenkins a hell of a usefull WR 2 next year!

12 team re-draft performance league, 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR/TE, 1 K, 1 Team DI traded:GadoW. ParkerBurressIndy Dfor J. JonesM. BarberM. HarrisonI think I gave the other person a pretty good deal, but their team still doesn't scare me, and I improved my starting lineup. He now starts Gado and Droughns. I still have E. James, T. Jones, and J. Jones/M. Barber in case of emergency. I also now have Holt and Harrison. I also have Jacksonville Defense stashed away for the playoffs.
12-Team redraft, TE required .Give:Stevens TE SEAEdwards WR CLEGet:Alexander TE DEN - going to cut himStokely WR INDDealt with a team who needed a TE in the worst way, and got a hedge for Marvin during the playoffs. I start Gonzo at TE, so Stevens was superflous.Team now:Brees/VickLT/LJ/Anderson/Barlow/RWilliamsHarrison/Holt/JSmith/Stokely/MRobinsonGonzo/(Alexander)TynesJacksonville
but it's a 16-team keeper league, so a good portion of the trade was focused on next year anyway.

I Traded Glenn for DJaxBecause:I have alsready clinched my division and am focused on building a roster for the playoffsI have Chambers and Roy Williams who I think will perform about the same as Glenn (along with Boldin)No the price for WR1's in my league is NutsI think DJax upside (including schedule) for the playoffs is better.Basically i took on risk because I felt like I was deep with OK Options

Just traded K. Collins, Barlow and M. Barber III for Dom Davis.With Bulger as my starter = no need for Collins; and I already have Westy & Dunn at RB with A. Smith and P. Pass available. The person I traded w/ has McNabb and Carr at QB and needs 2 wins the last three weeks to make the playoffs. This trade should help both of us.

Just traded Samkon Gado for Priest Holmes in a dynasty. My RBs are now:Edge, LJ, Westbrook, DD, Morency, Priest, Dee Brown

Hmmm is he?His team is 8-2 now and in my eyes the favorite to win it all this year.
His roster of Qbs and Rbs (key players in this deal bolded):
Palmer, Carson
Favre, Brett
Frye, Charlie
Losman, J.P.
Harrington, Joey
Aaron Rodgers
Martin, Jamie
McPherson, Adrian
Ragone, Dave
Barber, Tiki
Thomas Jones
Barber, Marion
Gado, Samkon
Parker, Willie
Evans, Heath
Holmes, Priest
Jacobs, Brandon
Payton, Jarrett
So as you can see he has 4 starting QBs right now. Palmer is clearly the best of them but Favre is not that far behind averaging 3.1 pts/game less than Palmer this year. I am giving him Aaron Rodgers to replace Favre should he retire after this year as well (a 1st round pick in 2005 draft).
Thomas Jones becomes his RB 2 replacing the loss of Priest Holmes and supplimenting the somewhat iffy Barber 3, Gado, FWP in a start 3 RB league. He replaces my 1st round pick used on Aaron Rodgers in 2007 which is 2 seasons away.
So while I apprechiate your comment Spike I don't see it as being as foolish as you think considering he is playing for right now. But that is one of the most interesting things about this passtime as so many people have so many different perspectives on things.

Keep 4 league. Gave Gado and Heap for Owens and Shockey, to a team needing RBs.Also keep 4 league. Gave Bell and Brad Johnson for Hasselbeck and Pittman. I lost McNabb, other owner had Hasselbeck and Plummer and needed RBs.Edit to add: And Priest and a 12th round pick for a conditional 6th round pick... a 10th if Priest retires before our keepers are declared. Keep 4 league as well. Wasn't planning to keep him and I'll take the insurance just in case he retires, rather than wait and maybe get nothing for him.

10 team standard redraft.Gave Brunell, Delhomme, Branch for Brooks & Fitz.I have Palmer starting Palmer here on out, wanted one more top 10 WR to go with Chad and ROY (and Djax in the wings), and LT/SJax/Dunn/KJones. He had McNabb and Brooks, so I give him two solid qbs to work with, and i get a serviceable back up. Also picked up Kitna for the final stretch run. I'm solidly in first, he's in 4th on the playoff bubble. the bottom teams are a bunch of quitters, so i'd at least like the playoff teams to be copetitive. It wasn't easy to get anyone to trade with me either.

Keeper PoolDealt Aaron Brooks ( my 3rd QB) Robert Ferguson and Tommy Davisfor 3rd next year, DeShaun Foster and Phillip Rivers. I may not have the room to keep Foster or Rivers but I think there trade value will go up in the offseason and I jsut got Brooks and realized I could never play him.

Wow that was rather harsh...Hmmmm there was reasoning behind this trade, like Biabreakable said I am in first place with a record of 8-2 and am pushing to win this year...
I am always one of the top teams and am always in the playoffs but always lose because of my RB's...
So the rationale for this trade is:
I can either start 3 RBs and 3WRs or 2 RBs and 4 WRs. As we all know WRs are a gamble from week to week whereas most RBs you can start and expect some decent points from...
My options were to start: QB - Palmer RBs - Tiki and Gado with my WRs - Horn, Ward, Boldin and Braylon Edwards or Ernest Wilford
Now I can start - QB -Favre RB's- Tiki, TJ and Gado WR's - Horn, Ward and Boldin...
Basically taking a small drop from Palmers production to Favre but gaining TJ's production over Braylon Edwards which is a much larger jump over the final weeks and into the playoffs...
My main concern is TJ staying healthy not the loss of Palmers production...
For next year I have either Favre or his replacement Rodgers along with Losman, Frye, McPhereson and Harrington. I will need one of them to step up that is true, I think the odds are good and again I traded with an eye to this years championship...
True I gave up my 1st rounder in 2007, that may come back and bite me in the butt, still there is a lot of time to make trades and prepare for that season...
If I win this season then the trade was a good one for me becasue that was the purpose of this trade and I will still have a good team next year and did not lose next years 1st round draft pick...
I am not too much of a fool I lead the league in wins, total points and power ranking, but your input is appreciated...
