Worst Dynasty Trade You Ever Made (1 Viewer)

[r3t2]

i made this deal in april i think:

get: larry fitzgerald

give: jermichael finley

donald brown

arian foster

guys on the boards thought i smoked the guy in this deal. yeah. sure. i thought about pulling back foster but didnt wanna risk the chance of the deal falling through.

it's a 16 team start 3WR+Flex. this trade makes me sick to my stomach. my team is 3rd in the league but i've been miserable all year because of this deal. even winning doesnt make me feel any better. the only solace will be when fitz regains his standing as WR1. until then i will continue to loathe myself. it wont even make me feel any better if somehow ben tate became the starter because of all that value i could have gotten trading foster.

Prior to the start of the 2009 season, I traded Chris Johnson for Randy Moss.

I dunno - this isn't a horrible trade. Would you make it now? No, but having Fitz in a 16 team, start 3wr leage (ppr or not) is not terrible. They'll have a new qb at some point, and Fitzy be fine.

Two weeks ago I traded

Ray Rice

L. McCoy

and some other filler

for

Brees

Moreno

H. Nicks

I know it sounds dumb, but I was tired of trying to decide what RBs to start every week and with our TD heavy scoring Rice didn't do much for me. McCoy was one that hurts because he really only got me Brees and some filler, but it was all I could get at that time and I hate the Reid uses his RBs with Vick in there.

While I still have depth at RB with Chr. Johnson, McFadden, Turner, Blount, Tolbert, Moreno, R. Bush, Starks, and Gerhart, I still wish I had McCoy, but I've made a lot of bad trades in the past and still found a way to be competitive.

Worst draft for me EVER. I had the 1.01 and the 1.11 picks. I took Ryan Leaf instead of Peyton Manning at 1.01 then followed that by taking Curtis Enis instead of Fred Taylor at 1.11. Oh, I also cut Jamaal Charles last year mid season because he wasn't doing anything and I had no faith in the KC OL. I made the Super Bowl without him, but had I had him I would have won it.

Man it feels good to remember these things. Thank you for this...

Here's one way to destroy a team over 2 yrs... This particular owner was a replacement, it was his first time doing dynasty, and he has subsequently quit. (Madison is now the Bay Area Substitutes).

Starting in Feb 2009:

Chicago Blitz gave up Year 2010 Round 1 Draft Pick from Chicago Blitz;Year 2010 Round 1 Draft Pick from Scotland Highlanders

Madison Badgers gave up Smith, Steve CAR WR; Year 2010 Round 2 Draft Pick from Madison Badgers

(Both were late 1sts, and though Smith has disappointed lately his value was still relatively high then and could ave gotten more).

Cincinnati Keepers gave up Bulger, Marc STL QB;Hardy, James BUF WR

Madison Badgers gave up Chambers, Chris KCC WR; Year 2009 Draft Pick 1.15;Year 2009 Draft Pick 4.11

Chicago Blitz gave up Year 2009 Draft Pick 4.06

Madison Badgers gave up Collins, Kerry TEN QB

Chicago Blitz gave up Year 2010 Round 2 Draft Pick from Scotland Highlanders;Year 2011 Round 2 Draft Pick from Chicago Blitz

Madison Badgers gave up Ringer, Javon TEN RB; Year 2010 Round 3 Draft Pick from Chicago Blitz;Year 2011 Round 2 Draft Pick from Madison Badgers

Madison Badgers gave up Ward, Derrick TBB RB

Scotland Highlanders gave up Year 2012 Round 1 Draft Pick from Scotland Highlanders

(Ok, so this was a good trade).

Now into the 2010 offseason:



Bay Area Substitutes gave up Bradshaw, Ahmad NYG RB

Washington Braves gave up Year 2012 Round 5 Draft Pick from Washington Braves

(This was mostly salary cap driven - Bradshaw is on a terrible $5m contract, but still).

Brooklyn Fatboys gave up Avery, Donnie STL WR; Year 2010 Draft Pick 1.04;Year 2010 Draft Pick 1.13;Year 2010 Draft Pick 2.04; Year 2011 Round 1 Draft Pick from Djursholm Conquering Dwarves

Bay Area Substitutes gave up Rodgers, Aaron GBP QB



(This was me - and for what it's worth I actually wanted to trade for Sanchez as my backup to Ryan but he did't want to move him. He loved Dez (as did I) + Clausen. He already had picks 1.05 + 1.06 and had a buyer lined up for 1.07 with those other two picks).

Bay Area Substitutes gave up Year 2010 Draft Pick 1.13;Year 2010 Draft Pick 2.04

Hartford Tilt gave up Year 2010 Draft Pick 1.07

Bay Area Substitutes gave up Dixon, Anthony SFO RB; Year 2010 Draft Pick 4.10

Chicago Blitz gave up Year 2010 Draft Pick 3.01;Year 2010 Draft Pick 4.14

(What you need to realize is that Dixon was picked with the 2.15 pick. So, after picking the guy, he traded him to the Gore owner to move down on both roster spots and tried to justify that he was moving down to get "his guy" (Brandon Graham) at a lower salary since they are tied to draft position... it's a nominal difference between 2 spots).

Chicago Blitz gave up Decker, Eric DEN WR;Weatherspoon, Sean ATL LB

Bay Area Substitutes gave up Year 2011 Round 1 Draft Pick from Djursholm Conquering Dwarves

Then he quit.

Traded Chris Johnson, in his rookie year, for Plaxico Burress. I really shot myself in the foot on that one

 

[LTF]

This wasn't a trade I made, but this happened in my league this year. Pretty much handed a guy the league. This happened back in week 8:

Team 1 trades:

Michael Vick & Dwyane Bowe

to

Team 2 for:

Matt Forte and Chad Henne

Absolutely awful. I hated like hell to confirm that as the commish, but at the time Bowe was struggling, Kolb was still in the mix, and there was no hint of Henne being benched. Easily the worst trade in the history of our league though.

 

[bigmarc27]

This past offseason I traded Vick away for the rights to draft Charlie Whitehurst.

Yikes.

I've won my fair share so they all even out.

2/7/10

Nicks

2010 1.11

for

2010 1.4

Anthony Gonzalez

Devin Hester

Even though the 1.4 is now Jahvid Best, i still didn't think Gonzo & Hester would be justifiable waiver fodder

 

[twheeler]

I've had some doozies in both directions, but this year will probably eat at me for a long, long time.

Dynasty league with 25 roster spots. Had Vick this off-season and decided, "heck, he's worthless". Nobody would give me anything for him in trade, so I dropped him straight up. To keep Fendi Onobun. Because I had a little case of Wildcat homerism. Oh god, I'm going to throw up. Again.

[B Will]

Charles Lee TB WR



Im sure the owner said ....... CMON MAN!
