Forte for Miles Austin. WHIR !!

Postby saemick » Tue Nov 03, 2009 9:56 pm

I've been offered the following trade:

MY Forte
for
HIS Miles Austin


This is a keeper league (Can only keep for 1 year).

Forte would be a 1st round draft pick next year, & Austin would be an 18th round pick. Below is my current roster:

QB: Brees, Garrard
RB: DWill, Chris Johnson, Forte, Donald Brown, McCoy, Greene
WR: R. Moss, Boldin, Edwards, Maclin, Knox
TE: Heap, Cooley

His team:
QB: Orton, Cassel
RB: Westbrook, Mendenhall, Julius Jones, Chester Taylor
WR: Wayne, Marshall, Austin, Avery, Bradley, Curtis
TE: Witten, Sean Ryan
Scoring: 10yds rush/rec = 1pt, 25yds pass = 1pt, TD = 6pts, fumble/int. = -2pts

As you can see, He's REAL weak at RB, and since I have DWill and Johnson, and can only start 2RB's, i'm sitting 1 each week.

Your team is really strong. I am definitely impressed.

With your depth at runningback I would actually consider doing this deal. You would likely keep DWill over Forte either way.

Well done on the team.

Please help with mine

Thinking about it more, you may be able to command a little more from him still with Forte.

Depending on how you value them, you could potentially shoot for Marshall instead of Austin. But that would be your preference.

He actually said he'd trade either Marshall OR Austin, but Marshall CAN'T be kept next year, whereas Austin can...

I def. feel now is the time to sell Forte. He has an aweful schedule coming up. He may produce in the next 2 weeks but after that he is in trouble. I like Austin but feel that you are overpaying for him. I would hold off but it will not hurt your team if you really want to trade.

I think I'm okay with it. Forte's season only gets harder. And Austin is proving to be Romo's go-to guy. And if he ends up being a keeper for you , his value will be great. It seems like an overpay, but may not be. And if it fits your needs....

Return the favor please!
