Title: Trade help...deal Chris Brown?
Post by captainpurple on Sep 14^th, 2005, 11:05am

I had Walker as my #1, am now thin at WR.

Roster
QB - Hass, Warner
WR - SSmith, Booker, Mi.Clayton, Moulds, Re.Brown
TE - Heap
RB - Priest, LJ, Rudi, Ro.Brown, CBrown

I'm thinking of offering CBrown to the guy who has Henry, in exchange for Wayne or RoWilliams. Here's his roster.

QB - Manning, Vick
WR - Burress, Wayne, Fitz, RoWilliams, Gardner, MRobinson
RB - Portis, JJones, Bennett, Henry
TE - Wiggins

He needs RB help, and Brown compliments Henry (could be a bad thing in this case I guess).

What do you think?

You would really be building his team,... perhaps making him into a champion. I personally think Brown has more value than Williams or Wayne. I would do Brown for Williams or Wayne AND Burress, and perhaps you could throw Reggie Brown back to him to get the deal done, especially if it's no sweat off your back since I'm guessing you'd have to cut someone, anyway, based on the uneven deal. Happy trails! [smiley=hippy.gif]

yeah, I am strengthening him significantly aren't I.

as for your Brown value quip, here's his remaining schedule:

BAL - not a good day
@ STL - they'll get behind and have to throw
IND - see STL game
@ HOU - tough run D
CIN - tough D
@ ARI - med. run D, could be a decent day
OAK - very nice matchup
@ CLE - another nice matchup
bye
JAC - tough day
SFO - decent matchup
@ IND - terrible day
HOU - same as last time
SEA - decent day
@ MIA - mediocre matchup
@ JAC - tough day again

I only count 2 very nice weeks, 4 mediocre/decent weeks, and 9 bad weeks. Then you throw Henry in the mix, and what TDs/yards does Brown lose?

I like your idea of trying to get both receivers from him. He's stacked at WR, and could part with a couple. I'm targeting Wayne and either Fitz or Williams (I prefer Fitz).

thoughts?

I wonder if maybe both of you are overvaluing Chris Brown. He plays for a team which will be primarily throwing the ball (bad teams play from behind) and also Brown has a very shaky injury history.

If you can get more for Brown, then by all means do it, but I don't know if I'd accept the deal if I was the other owner. I'm assuming you start 2 RBs, right? If so, Portis and JJones will be his starters. Bennett, Henry, and Brown would be backups. There's a decent chance that JJones could get hurt, but then you have an RBBC (Henry/Brown) to figure out. I don't think it puts him in a real enviable situation.

we start 2 RBs and a WR/RB flex. Henry is basically a throw away roster spot for him until Brown gets hurt. If I can make his spot worth something, he might go for it.

I agree with Philly. I don't think Chris Brown really has that much value, last week he split carries with henry and with the looks of his team I would see Chris Brown getting occassional playing time at the w/r flex position only if henry's carries were limited. I would say if you could get him to go with Wayne cuz Manning is always gonna throw touchdowns, Harrington on the other hand is a question mark. Looks like Wayne is his number one guy though so that may be doubtful, but Roy Williams would still be a good trade for you.

[smiley=hellhound.gif]you'll be able to package him in a nice BODY BAG after this week - for those who haven't experienced my deep loathing for chris brown [smiley=deadhorse.gif] see last years rant(s)...if he survives the beating he'll take in this game [smiley=hammer.gif] - he may be worth something...but i don't see it...

i'm jumping on the cris brown will be injured soon band wagon. if you can get a starting receiver and anything else, i would jump on that one.

good luck!
