The Unofficial Thread to Discuss Official Trades

"ahem" :buckeyeskeet:

 

No there is no Skeet in there. :Buckeyetressel: is more like it.

 

Announce it in the official trades thread.

 

Yeah Ohio St and Tressel do go hand and hand

 

wtf! traitor! tressel doesnt wear a pink bow. if anything, u wear the pink bow.

 

dont wait tell him now!!!

 

Does this mean Rivers is on the block?

 

Oh come on man he'll send you a 7th round pick!

 

Wow I think San Fran really got the better end of that deal.

 

i think its a pretty fair deal for both sides. both did well.

 

Thing is that San Fran didn't really lose anything. They moved down a few picks, but getting Phillips is WELL worth what they lost in terms of draft spots.

 

moving all the way out of the 2nd is significant IMO.

 

He didn't even move a full round down though. He moved about 20 spots (I think, dont feel like checking exact) when you get a very strong starter at OLB who can pressure the QB I think thats well worth it.

 

I don't think it was a bad trade at all. Just I think San Fran got the better end. If you didn't have to unload him due to salary I think you might have been able to hold out for better.

But salary was an issue.

 

Fair trade IMO, I lose a 2nd round pick but that's worth the price of bringing in a player of Shaun Phillips' caliber.

 

well, swapping picks is different than losing a pick. congrats on trading down.

 

In my opinion I was never very high on Bodden, neither are many Detroit fans. I felt that I really need to upgrade my defensive line and I lived getting Holiday. I also needed an MLB and Torber really helps that hole.

I think overall it was a pretty fair trade, becuase I had the cap room to make this move.

 

Hope he plays better for you than he did in Miami cause he was horrible. I think he is better suited for the 4-3 look.

 

I love the Hardy Trade. Hardy is a freak, and under Ward should get huge numbers on the outside while Ward picks up the garbage routes, etc.

 

I love the Hardy trade for my side as well.

I needed another draft pick, and Timmons is a very solid player. Sure he didnt start but he still recorded 5 sacks. Hardy hasn't proven anothing it all, and I feel like I have 3 solid WR already.

 

Cap implications though, don't make yourself sound like a master GM because you traded away a starting QB for an elite CB with an extremely high salary on a cap pressed team.

 

brady is worth way more than a 1st and 3rd imo

 

He is coming off a major injury, though...

He would be one of the few players worth two first round picks, IMO... If he didn't have that injury.

 

thats exactly what I was thinking...

I had a chance to get younger at a key position, get depth at DE with bulman and get a guy that might very well start next year at CB or at least be a nickel dime guy

Who if brady will return right

 

hes worth it regardless....the guy is phenomenal....

 

Doesn't matter... Philip Rivers was playing on a torn acl in the championship game a year ago. Came into camp and worked it all season. Brady is fine. All the doom and gloom is wishful thinking, IMO. Cas was going to be franchised no matter what. NE isn't letting him go for free.

I think HOU stole Tom Brady. 3 time Superbowl champ who won those superbowls with less then steller talent on offense. Plus HOU has built a really good defense. Maybe the best front 7 in the NFL (GM league). Duane Brown was awful last year. He lead the league in sacks allowed for any starting lineman in the NFL. He could improve, but regardless of what round he was drafted in, the production wasn't there. On top of it, He got might Light who's as solid as you can ask for (he had 7.5 sacks allowed, but Cassel struggled early on and got nailed a bunch, so I think that sack # is exaggerated). I also think pick #5 is overrated. The only real must have player is Crab, and he's going to be long gone at 5. The draft is so bottom heavy, I would of tried to milk 2 mid-late round firsts.

However taking the 9 or so mill in cap hurts a lot. However that can be rectified at another point.

Houston also got a high 4th (a few picks removed from a 3rd) and a 7th for a CB who didn't play much and a DT who played well in rotation.

Advantage, Houston, IMO.

 

I think Houston got the better end of the stick, but to say Brady is worth more than a 1st and a 3rd round pick post-injury... Just not true, IMO.

 

I have my reasons...

 

Hey Steelers, I offered you three times that value for Hampton. WTF!!!!

EDIT: my bad, wrong thread. sorry griddles.

 

It wasnt about value as much as it was numbers and fit. We saved over 1 mil in cap and we got more players back in return. Kenyunta and Eric both avg. the same amount of tackles Casey did and Sessions is an up and coming OLB, which all these players fit the D we are running better. Its all about #s, nothing else. Plus honestly I fear a line with Freeney and Hampton on it.

 

i hate you.

 

The GM league is so boring atm that the Panthers made a self trade

Panthers send:

RB Jonathon Stewart 1,743,750.00
CB Ken Lucas 5,600,000.00


Panthers Reciece:

2nd round pick #34 overall
4th round pick #98 overall















I have to say the Chiefs got the better end of that deal.
