Thread: Franchise Trade Question...

Yeah..I know this goes elsewhere, but I really need some quick feedback. I am in a franchise Fantasy league where we can keep as many guys as we want. Long story short...I'm being offered:

Matt Ryan and a 2010 1st round pick for Matt Cassell and Felix Jones.

My other QBs are Brady and Flacco and my RBs are Portis, Thomas Jones, Torain and Ray Rice. Plus I have 2 #1s in the upcong draft.

My main concern is the offense Cassell is about to play in. His new coach will be tossing the pigskin all over the place. I'm indifferent regarding Felix as he will be in a trio of RBs in Dallas. Would you make this deal if you were me?

If I'm reading this right, you're being offered Ryan and the pick?

If so, I'd accept that in a heartbeat.

I'd accept that quick before he changes his mind.

Hell yes!

You got great backup qbs- /starters if brady is healthy- assuming you start 1 each week. and you are good at RB too. Plus with TO out of dallas teams are going to stack the run more....

Get ryan get the pick and win your superbowl.

yes you are...I wanted to accept immediately, but I said I'd sleep on it. The more I thought about it, the more I considered the new KC offensive scheme w/ Gonzo and Bowe. It at least gave me enough doubt to ask.

Absolutely. Dump Cassel before his fairy tale strikes midnight for Matt Ryan who's about to begin his stellar career...

That's what I thought...thanx folks.

I have BMarsh, TO, Royal and the Rams rookie WR. He mentioned even doing a 2nd trade gving me Bowe for TO and a 2nd. Looking long term, I'd likely do this as well.

Can i be in your league. This guy seems like an idiot.


Do you mean donnie avery? the rams wr- he is streaky but good and young

I did't that trade. Since Cassel isn't in New England anymore I wont be surprised if his numbers go down. By the way, someone mentioned that eventhough Cassel had a nice season in '08 he hasn't been named the starter yet. It may not mean anything but then again.

Bowe was pretty money for me last year...

Ryan>Cassell. Plus you get a first rounder next year.

You need to get younger at RB. Spend your first two rounders on RB's this year.

BTW, I'm moving this thread to the fantasy talk forum.

Please tell me you have accepted that offer!! Shiasta. I don't see all that good coming for Cassel or Jones. Decent but seriously....Matt Ryan looks incredibly promising.

SmilinAss, you sound a bit like McDaniels.

McDaniels would turn it down and trade for Michael Vick, He is a saboteur.

Yeah...Avery. After the regular draft, we have a 3 round rookie taxi squad draft. I picked him up there and ended up activating him 1/2 way thru the season. He was quite helpful.
