Title: trade help...
Post by sameoldsameold on Aug 27^th, 2004, 1:45am

i was offered ahman green and laveranues coles

he wants rudi johnson, chad johnson and curtis martin from me.....does this sound like a good deal? I still have shaun alexander and julius jones and my leftover recievers would be....chambers....steve smith....and marcus robinson...though i could pick someone off the waivers....what do you think i should do...keep what i got for trade away...

[offtopic]First off, soso, thank you for being mindful about where you place your threads. [smiley=bow.gif] I know it's a very fine line. This one actually could have gone up in "the Red Zone". It's just that in "the Red Zone" we don't want those "team list", "tell me how I did (vis-a-vis the rest of my league or "in general")" type posts. But, questions that involve player valuations in a specific way, like your question here, are acceptable up there. We do allow "downstream" posting. As such, we'll leave this thread here "between the 20's.[/offtopic]

If it's a keeper league, I say definitely do it. Martin won't be around much longer and Ahman and Coles for Rudi and Chad would be an awesome deal. If it's a turnover league and assuming you only start two backs, I still say do it given your roster. With Smith and Chambers, you should be okay at receiver. Having Alexander and Green would be a real upgrade in your regular starting lineup. However, if this is turnover league and you have to start three backs, then I would say not to do it.

Good luck, in any event, though, brother! [smiley=stpat.gif]

There are MAJOR question marks around Lavernous Coles foot STILL. You don't read much about it, but you hear about it all the time here in the DC area. He should of had offseason surgury, but he held out thinking rest would heal it. However, it did not. He has missed practive time because of his toe and it continues to be a nagging injury. Again, not saying he won't play every game, but it something to consider.

And finally, if it is not a keeper league, I think the two running backs you have are solid and Ahman is not worth the price in upgrade.

Great local, insider type update, DD! That's definitely "considerable"!
