Nice. Eli has alot more years left than Peyton and will only get better. Nice long term deal.excellent trade in either dynasty or redraft. LT and Peyton will probably be a wash in dynasty terms but you got Turner out of the deal as well as a younger Manning.Pretty well balanced in a redraft...good trade.

It'll be a tough decision to keep either eli, leon washington (if he pans out) or michael turner.....as we only keep 3 and I have LJ and LT

Before the game against the 49ers (2 weeks ago), I traded:
LT and throw-in
for
LJ and Derrick Mason
I didn't have Michael Turner, and I own LT in 2 other leagues. That week, LT went for 4 TDs against the 49ers and Mason (who I immediately started at WR) got his goose-egg after McNair went out with concussion. Needless to say, I'm not pleased right now.

I was at a business seminar recently and something there might have relevance here.
Every one were shown a keychain with the logo of the business school. It had a built in flashlight.
Randomly half the class were given a keychain in a package they were not allowed to open. All were then asked to wirte a price on a piece of paper together with their name and if they were selling or buying.
(if you had one you could only sell and if you did not you could only buy
All the sells were put in one pile and the buys in another.
one at a time a pair was drawn (each pile had been randomized further) and if the buying price was higher than the selling price the piece was sold (this was real money).
Out of 20 draws only one keychain was sold.
The moral was if you have something you are liable to value it higher than the on who wants it. Commerce happens anyway but trades are by nature lopsided...

trade just went down in one of my dynasty leagues
first time LT has ever been traded (had him since he came out of college)
Team 1: LT2, Joe Horn, Ben Watson, Fred Taylor
Team 2: S Jax, Kevin Jones, K. Winslow, D. Driver
I thought it was a fairly fair deal.. team 2 gave up A LOT.. but its LT2.

You just can't replace a guy who gets 2-3-4 tds any given game. One roster spot, 4 tds. He basically wins you games. Sure SJAX/KJ are great. Winslow has been solid. But how often are they going to put up 3 tds? 4? How often do they win you weeks singlehandedly? LT gives you so much roster spot equity, he's basically not worth trading. Unless you have garbage around him. On paper lots of deals for LT look great. In reality, I'm not sure any team is better off without LT.

of course the LT owner is 4-5 (will be 4-6) and team b is 7-2 (will be 8-2) LT2 owner has been plagued with injuries and underperforming players around him, so he got 4 very solid players to work with. In this particular case I see this trade being very good for both sides.im sure if i calculated the total points for each week it would show a slight favor to Team B's 4 rather than Team A's

The only thing I would trade LT for is Scarlett Johannsen as my sex slave.
I might be willing to go for Jessica Alba as well, but that's about it.

In my Dynasty league 3 years ago I traded Kevan Barlow and Onterrio Smith for LT. I haven't lost the title since. Funny thing was the guy who had LT offered this trade. I couldn't click accept fast enough.

Right now there is no way I would trade LT...how on earth can you replace those numbers coming out of ONE spot in your lineup?
After the 2003 season, I traded Ricky Williams (when he was great), Holt and Horn for LT and Bruce. I got hammered for making a bad trade. I gave up a lot (then). Just goes to show you can't predict a dynasty league trade immediately.
I want to trade him maybe a year before I think he will start to slow down, kind of like anyone who traded Alexander after last season. Sell high...but DON'T sell high EARLIER than you should.

Agreed. The guy is excellent at every phase of the game and is humble to boot. He might be the best to ever play once he's done.

If I had LT in a dynasty there is no way I would trade him unless the other team gave up so much that the league would veto the trade.
LT is worth more than 2 roster spots. He's outproduced the number 9 and 10 running backs in my keep 6 league. (257-256) He's consistent year to year. You can pair him with a backup like Marion Barber and that tandem will outproduce virtually any two other tandems.

I've told an inquiring owner that the only way I'd consider trading LT is for Reggie Bush and Larry Fitgerald. Even then, I probably wouldn't do it unless I were rebuilding.
In a league where each player is available twice, I have one and am winning the division, as my team is in the top 25% despite some problems at QB and RB2 (before acquiring Tiki). The other is in the bottom tier, as he only has LT. That team, IMO should take a deal like the above, but even then, it's tough.
And to think, I made an offer of LT for Ronnie Brown and a 1st before the season.

Think about this: as LT approaches the single-season TD record, he is going to get every opportunity to score every TD the offense gets. When they are inside the 10 yard line, first cracks always go to LT. And he converts them most of the time.
This guy is going to score over 30 TD's this year (totaling rushing, receiving and passing). Book it.

My tandem of LT and Tatum Bell has outproduced every other tandem in my league, even with Tatum's woes.

I drafted him at 3.01 his rookie year (redraft league) and he helped win me the championship despite my 2nd round pick (Rod Smith) having a horrible year relative to his pick. Ever since, I've gone out of my way and offered too much sometimes for him. Once you get the man-crush, it doesn't end.

I hereby retract all prior posts on LT's worth.
I can't even value him now. I still say all players are tradeable at the right price, and there is a price for LT, but I can't imagine what it might be in most start-2 RBs and only 1 QB.
In start-2 QB leagues, I can imagine some viable and reasonable trades.
In dynasty/keeper leagues I don't think you can trade him away right now - I know RBs break down, but LT is in the Faulk/Emmitt in their prime stratosphere right now.
I am so psyched I finally have a fantasy player of his caliber on my team - in almost 15 years of playing, I have never been blesed with this kind of RB stud and I can't imagine someone offering my price.
