My Trade Offer

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

I just accepted a trade in my CBSSport.com league. I traded Calvin Johnson for Torrey Smith and Cedric Benson..... 
First, let me give you my team: Cam Newton, Michael Vick, Steven Jackson, Jackie Battle, Calvin Johnson, Miles Austin, Denarious Moore, James Jones, Kenny Britt, Michael Crabtree, Domenic Hixon, Antonio Gates, Jacob Tamme, Greg Zuerlhin and Packers D.....

As you can see I'm hurting at RB since my partner wanted to pick up Jackson and also wanted to take Vick in mid rounds when we needed a RB instead. Thought he would be great trade bate.

The other team has: Joe Flacco, Tony Romo, Darren McFadden, Demarco Murray, Kendall Hunter, Isaac Redman, Torrey Smith, Steve Smith, Greg Jennings, Darius Heyward-Bay, Andre Roberts, Brendon Bolden, Brent Celek, Jason Hanson and Eagles D

What do you think? Is this beeter for me?

	It is pretty easy to tell when Calvin Johnson has a bad week since all kinds of teams are jumping off his bandwagon. I can see your logic on the trade, but I would never trade a stud like Johnson unless I was getting a stud back. Quantity never equals quality in fantasy football, but I do hope it works out for you.

	I see your point, but I can't help feeling Stafford is having a hard time gettingt he ball to CJ this year and Flacco is having a great year at BMore with Torrey. Not to mention if you look at total points, Cedric Benson and Torrey Smith combo would usually bring me more then 30pts total, whereas my Calvin Johnson and Steven Jackson combo would only bring me 25 if I'm lucky. Having Calvin Johnson and no RB is not going to pay off and unfortunetly at 1-3 I feel I had to make a move. Only really tradeable players right now are Cam Newton / Calvin Johnson for a decent RB and WR. He didn't need or want Cam Newton, and honestly I think he can get me more points. I still have Michael Vick to trade away if need be too.
