The trades you've made this week...and why? (1 Viewer)

Traded Willie Parker for Plax... I got Plax. Needed another good WR and was stacked at RB with Tiki, Dunn, Droughns and Maroney. Now my Wrs are TO, Plax, Branch, I. Bruce, Ma. Jones & B. Edwards.

I made this trade standard scoring 3 man keeper league. TE required. PPR only for WR’s and TE.

I had Watson and needed a WR2. I thought I made out well. He needed a TE.

I traded Kitna, I.Bruce, Winslow for Delhomme, S.Moss, Troupe

My other QB is Bulger. This way I add Delhomme and can play the matchups.

I am contemplating taking this offer. Trade Dominator says to take it but I don’t know. I am still contemplating it. I take quite a bit of hit at WR. It says the advantage of Gates over Watson and Edge over Gore makes it worthwhile. I could hold off and try and trade Gore at the deadline for a pick next year or a player for the playoff run. I could do that with Edge as well. Is Gore the real thing? His value is high right now. Edge’s ypc against the Niners worries me too.

I trade Gore, S.Smith, Watson for Edge, R.Smith, Gates

My Team

Delhomme

Bulger

Alexander

Portis

Gore

Betts

S.Smith

S.Moss

J. Galloway

T.Williamson

J.Porter

Watson

Troupe

 
This isn't my trade, but it's significant enough to put in here.

In my 10 team, 14 man roster, 0.5 PPR league, Edge was traded staight up for Fitz.

 
Traded Andre Johson for Kurt Warner. My QBs before that were Favre and Rivers.

I had Boldin, Harrison, AJ, and Coles at WR in a start 2 WR league so AJ became expendable.

 
Not a trade, but I made the following roster moves (which effectively is a trade since you are only allowed 3 roster moves per year - except for injuries which are unlimmited).

Dropped WR Brandon Stokley IND, picked up RB Correll Buckhalter PHI. Deion Branch signing gave me an unexpected bonus since I drafted Branch thinking he migh be back by week 10. My rbs were hurting so I needed a bye week fill in. Now have Tiki, K Jones, Rhodes and Buckhalter.

Dropped TE Jason Witten DAL (no TE requirement league, so he was an extra WR), picked up DB Shaun Williams CAR. Same reason, my dbs were thin and with Branch returning, my wrs are now - TO, Santana Moss, Bruce, Branch, Watson.

After typing this up I realized, no one cares anyway - but I don't feel like deleting the effort it took to type it.

 
Traded Willie Parker for Plax... I got Plax. Needed another good WR and was stacked at RB with Tiki, Dunn, Droughns and Maroney. Now my Wrs are TO, Plax, Branch, I. Bruce, Ma. Jones & B. Edwards.
Wouldn't call your RB's "stacked". Would have preferred to see you trade Droughns instead of FWP.
 
Traded Portis and wiggins for Coles and Shockey. Have taylor gore and tomlinson left on my rb bench. Also workign on another atm Taylor ward and favre for Pennington and Stallworth

Trading Droughns right now is a BAD move. Never sell at a player's lowest point.
 
I traded Jerious Norwood and Deion Branch for Lendale White and Lee Evans. I think Evans has a shot at the top ten and would be surprised if he didn't at least make the top twenty. I already had Edge, Portis Rhodes and Benson in a start 1-2 RB league with no PPR.

The other trade was Laveranues Coles for Gibril Wilson in a dynasty league with PPR and weird scoring. I usually start two receivers and already have Randy Moss, Steve Smith and Marvin Harrison. I can start up to five DBs and they score more points than LBs and DLs in our system.

 
it's pending but I offered Bledsoe and Dunn for Palmer.

Even tho I have great RB depth, I didn't like giving up Dunn...but I like the more certain (and probably more productive) Palmer.

 
Here is a trade I made just before the season started. I was worried about the Raiders offense.

I traded:

Lamont Jordan RB Raiders

Brandon Lloyd WR Redskins

Cato June LB Colts

2007 5th round rookie pick

I received:

Clinton Portis RB Redskins

Tony Hargrove DE Rams

I wasn't too concerned about Clinton Portis's injury he seems to be able to play through pain. Plus with him going in the top 5 in most drafts I thought this was a no brainer. I also needed the DL help so Hargrove was nice added depth at that position.

 
Trade just went down in my dynasty league. I was wavering but feel the trade was pretty equal.

I gave Joseph Addai, Najeh Davenport and two 2nd round picks in 2007

I received Chad Johnson and Verand Morency (I own A. Green)

This leaves me a little thin at RB now. The starting requirements are 2 rb, 2 wr, 2 flex.

My WR/TE are now Chad Johnson, Hines Ward, Braylon Edwards, Troy Williamson, Eric Parker, Todd Heap, & Jason Witten. Looks like I will be starting 4 of these guys from now on.

 
I gave up TJ Houshmandzadeh and Keyshawn Johnson for Tatum Bell and Terry Glenn.

I already had Owens, Moss and Javon Walker at WR and needed some RB depth pretty badly with Chris Brown/LenDale White as my number 3 RB.

 
Traded LJ for LT straight up. Why? Chief's line is not the same without Roaf and with Green out for a few games and maybe more LJ's value will take a big hit. Both are good but I think LT will be safer this year as the Chargers will pound the ball more. Plus I also have Turner handcuffed to LT.

 
2nd Jordan dump for me: Jordan and Coles for Westbrook.

Had Portis, Droughns Jordan Rhodes so where i felt good at the start of the season now I don't!

 
Just traded away some of my RB depth for an upgrade at WR:

Chester Taylor

Rod Smith

for

Dominic Rhodes

Donald Driver

Bad trade. Rhodes is worthles because he probably doesn't start on your team. You should have been able to trade Taylor for Driver or an equivalent WR. The other guy made out.
 
I made two trades, in light of having Trent Green and Aaron Brooks as my two quarterbacks:

Trade one: Acquired - Chester Taylor, Chris Cooley, Broncos D

Gave up - Derek Mason, Dominic Rhodes, Colts D, and LJ Smith

Trade two: Acquired - Mark Bulger

Gave up - Warrick Dunn

I then got the SD defense, Lee Evans, and Laverneous Coles off waivers.

I still was left with Alexander, Parker, Chester Taylor, and Jurious Norwood at Rb.

I still was left with Boldin, Roy Williams, Rod Smith, Laverneous Coles, and Lee Evans at WR.

 
I can't make any trades in any of my leagues. In all of my leagues, if I try to trade for a backup RB for one of my starters, my leaguemates always want a starting RB in return. Nothing else. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to negotiate a more fair trade?

 
I am contemplating pulling the trigger on this deal today:

I give Galloway and Lendale White. I don't like TB and TEN schedules, plus Galloway has to fight for receptions with a healthy Clayton. White is currently 3rd string but may get more playing time. Even if he does, I'm not sure his schedule will allow him to be very productive.

I get Muhammed and Rhodes (as my #4RB).

I still have Edge, Bush, and T. JOnes as my RBs. I can always trade for Addai to have both Him and Rhodes, or I can trade to get Benson (but then I'd have Bush, Benson and JOnes off on the same day and only have Edge on week 7).

Ok well, maybe not "stacked" but enough depth none the less.I offered Droughns a while back but again after last weeks performance I doubt anyone would take him at this point. Id probably rather have Plax instead of FWP for the duration of the season, hopefully my RBs can blossom.

white was inactive last week. terrible trade for you. white won't be worth much this year IMO unless both henry and brown are out of the picture.
 
The commish of our league offered the following trade to me

R.Moss + K.Jones

for

D.Mason + D.Foster

i accepted the offer

Ask for a league-wide vote. Good luck :ph34r:

The deal is done (since I originally posted), I was just correcting his misunderstanding that I'm GETTING White.
 
Was offered Fred Taylor for Big Ben (my backup) but countered with Matt Jones for Big Ben and the trade was accepted. Not sure how it will all pan out, but I needed WR help worse.......

 
Mike Anderson for Travis Henry

I have Jamal Lewis, Chris Brown, and Lendale White.

I figure I would lock up Ten. run game, and not worry about Jamal Lewis getting hurt.

I don't think it will hurt me, but I a #1 may emerge in Ten. midway thru the season.

 
In a 12 team 1pt 10yd rush/rec 6 pts td

I just traded:

Fred Taylor

Laverneous Coles

Todd Heap

and I recieved:

Lamont Jordan

Mushim Muhhammad

Antonio Gates

I dont really like Jordan this year, but he will be my 3rd rb behind Rudi Johnson and Jamal Lewis (for now at least). I figured its a wash at WR, and I upgrade my TE

 
I offered J. Lewis and Gates for Fitzgerald.

PPR redraft

I got Watson in the 12th round and have R. Brown, F. Taylor, and A. Green on my roster. (start 2 rbs)

The owner I'm trading with drafted Dom Davis early and has pretty good depth at WR.

Unfortunately, we went to a new waiver system limiting each owner to two roster moves per week and the other owner has made two waiver picks allready this week.

It is now up for a league vote if trades count as one of your two moves.

shame him openly to the rest of the league. He will end up with a bad trade reputation and you will have hindered his championship efforts at the very least. The best you can hope for is the rest of the league becomes outraged at the commish abuse and will let him know and give him sh##.BTW, I think KJones will be fine since they'll throw the ball to him ala Marshall Faulk so I would've taken the deal to get Moss and Jones as well.
 
Dynasty....

I dealt Tiki and got Housh and Addai

We keep two players.. my team stinks and I know I have no shot at playoffs (already) Tiki is 31 so I dont want to keep him...

my two keepers for next year are... Reggie Bush and Addai....

 
redraft...

6 points all tds. traded Holt and Droughns for McNabb (was running with Plummer, who just won't do it...) Still have LJ, C. Taylor, Owens, Coles, Mush, M. Jones and Williamson, so I figured I could manage.

 
Redraft--6 pts TDs--1 pt 10 yds rush/rec.--0.5 pt/recept.

Traded away

D Rhodes, Reggie Brown, and P. Rivers

for

Hines Ward, LenDale White, and Tynes

Will play Ward in WR/RB slot over McAllister/Maroney

Even though I don't like playing a WR over a RB, I'm already tired of and spooked by the RBBCs on the Saints and Colts. Rhodes a "value", my left *ss cheek.

Redraft 12-team standard scoring PPR

Gave Cooley

Got Watson

Straight up - other owner had Winslow and he shares a bye week with Watson and he asked for Cooley (wanted to give me Winslow plus a player for him, but my roster is full, so we continued negotiations to try for an even swap of players)

After Winslow's big week and Watson's poor one, I offered Cooley plus a worse receiver (I think it was Stallworth) for Winslow plus Roy Williams - sent a second offer as a red herring that included him sending Gore/Watson to me for Cooley plus Andre Johnson

He counterted with the one for one, and I jumped on it. I hate Cooley this year (or any year, for that matter) and I have a huge man-crush on Watson this year - to the point that I made him the 5th TE off the board, only one round after Heap was taken, in my big$$ non-PPR league (obviously not this league wheret he trade occured). I sweated that round, too, since it was a bit earlier than i wanted to look at TE and it was right after my pick when heap went and i had the long drop to wait - when someone else at the other end of the draft took Crumpler as the #4 TE off the board, i really sweated since I figured others woulda jumped on the TE bandwagon and McMichael and Watson woulda been the next couple off the board. Was really psyched when no TE was selected.

:hijacked:

 
I just traded Hines Ward straight up for Egde in a dynasty league.

The Edge owner was spooked by the low ypc.

No. I *love* this trade strategy.I used it so much in one league, that nobody will counter-offer in that league anymore.
 
What - the "red herring" trade I made for Gore and Watson after Watson's bad week - when my target was actually Watson all along instead of Winslow - thereby raising my trade partner's interest in trading Watson instead?

Yep. I pull that crap all the time. It's strangely effective.
 
I love the red herring move. It works every time.

Your real target plus one of their great players in a B.S. trade that is arguably reasonable and involving players you are willing to ditch usually gets them to dangle your target for a player on your squad you are willing to get rid of.
