Thoughts on this trade...

[maestro1313]

I'm going to lose S. Jackson due to contract (have other tags) so...

Give Jackson & 3rd rd rookie pick
for Crabtree (2 years) & 2nd rd pick (#15 overall)

or
Jackson & 3rd rd pick for J. Maclin (2)

or
Jackson for J. Finley (3)...

PPR and just looking for most value...

Finley would be my choice if I thought there were any chance at all you could depend on him to stay healthy. But you can't. So I think I'd go the safer route and go with Maclin.

Return the favor?

Are these your only possibilities? No chance to get a replacement RB for SJax?

[maestro1313]

Don't really need one...

I have
Gore (franchise - 4)
A. Foster (3 years)
McFadden (2)
J. Stewart (2)
M. Bush (3)

Gore/Jackson/S. Rice/ S. Johnson are all on 1 years...

I will be able to keep 2 of them... one is a franchise... the other I have to match what they sell for at auction.

Hehe.. nice intuition on your part!

Most suprising is your contract on Stevie Johnson... who saw that coming?
Yup, take what you can get most on SJax and keep on smiling.

I agree!!

IMO:

I think you need to at least consider trading fo another RB when looking to move SJax.

I would consider only Foster and McFadden as solid keepers at this point in time.

But, they even have some question marks.

Some will say that Foster could have company with Tate and could be a one year wonder. Though, I don't think it will impact his value all that much and also expect him to continue to be a stud.

McFadden has really only produced for one good season and will have a new coach (new philosophy) and possibly a new QB.

Gore is coming off a major injury to his hip and he get's a new coach. There is no telling how he will perform next season.

Stewart still has Williams to contend with as well as Goodson. Plus he's not a pillar of health either.

Bush is a free agent and could land in an RBBC situation. That could hurt his keeper value.

Maybe you should look to see what the market is for Gore and Stewart including Jackson.

if those three deals you listed are the best available to you, I say pull the trade for Maclin easily over the others. I consider Maclin a fringe top-10 WR going into 2011, especially in a PPR league.

OK...
I made several moves... (this is pretty old now)

but the basis of the deal(s) are...

I gave:
Gore/S. Jackson/ A. Rodgers & 3rd rd pick...

I got:
P. Rivers/D. Jackson/M. Crabtree/ B. Tate & 2nd rd pick...

Basically the above also brought me a bunch of contract relief... so I'm happy with it.

Still need another RB... but feel good for now.
