Here's the deal. Standard scoring league. No PPR. No keepers.
Here's Team One: Ponder, Christian MIN QB Stafford, Matthew DET QB Benson, Cedric GBP RB Brown, Andre NYG RB Jones Drew, Maurice JAX RB Morris, Alfred WAS RB Avery, Donnie IND WR Brown, Vincent SDC WR Jeffery, Alshon CHI WR Young, Titus DET WR Graham, Jimmy NOS TE Pitta, Dennis BAL TE Graham, Shayne HOU PK Jets, New York NYJ Def
Team Two: Cassel, Matt KCC QB Griffin III, Robert WAS QB Bell, Kahlil CHI RB Dwyer, Jonathan PIT RB Jackson, Fred BUF RB Johnson, Chris TEN RB Starks, James GBP RB Bryant, Dez DAL WR Green, A.J. CIN WR Marshall, Brandon CHI WR Welker, Wes NEP WR Rudolph, Kyle MIN TE Bironas, Rob TEN PK Steelers, Pittsburgh PIT Def
Team one is offering Andre Brown and Titus Young for Team Two's Chris Johnson and Wes Welker
My first reaction is no. We have a rule that any trade must benefit both teams and I just don't see how this trade benefits Team Two. IMO, team two gets a RB who had one good game and will likely have a diminished role when Bradshaw comes back. While I think CJK and Welker have been underperforming, I don't see how gaining Brown and Titus Young will in any way improve Team Two's roster. Your thoughts?
If it were Morris and Young I might even say it is okay but Brown is a little too low for me. Yes he had a great week but he will be splitting carries. Also Welker looks like he has slowly been getting more of a role in the offense. The trade is a little outlandish and being a commmish I would probably veto this trade. As I always tell people by being the commish if people do not have a problem with it after you can always just move the players to their new respective teams and the deal will be done in seconds.
QB- P. Manning RB- LeSean McCoy, Ryan Mathews WR- Wes Welker, Larry Fitzgerald TE- Kyle Rudolph W/R- Run DMC B- Donald Brown (RB), Anquan Boldin (RB), Aaron Hernandez, Jason Witten, Josh Gordon, Vick Ballard K- G. Zurline Def- NYG
I think this is close. I'm not in love with the move, but can see the logic. Seems team one is trying to take advantage of the slow start for Welker and Johnson. I kind of like it though, because of the risk reward end.
No way should this trade be vetoed. As commissioner, your job is not to rate trades...it's to make sure there is no collusion (unless the trade is very lopsided). There is a very real chance that Team 2 ends up getting the better deal.

Actually, the job of the commissioner is to keep checks on if trades are unbalanced. Sure, team 2 could end up getting the better end of the deal but how can one judge that? I have no crystal ball. Where things stand right now, the trade is unfair. Welker is one of the best wide receivers in football. Titus Young has done nothing this year aside from catching a fluke Hail Mary TD pass. Aside from the Hail Mary, Young has 54 yards receiving on the year. As for CJ2K...at least he's a starter. Brown had one good game and now he's losing his gig back to the now healthy Bradshaw. I have to base my decision on what's fair right now. Right now, that trade is unbalanced.

Granted this is obviously an attempt at trade rape (can I say rape on here?), it depends on who the player is behind team two. If team one is trying to take advantage of a situation where team two's owner wouldn't know much better, then maybe you should step in to keep order within the league, but if team two's owner legitimately things Johnson and Welker's times are done and wants to take a flier on Brown, who still has plenty of upside and could be considered a flex in some leagues, why not let him? CJ2K imo isnt worth a start until he shows he has turned things around, and Welker isn't until Bellicheck either trades him or decides to include him. As for Young, with Megatron on the field and Young probably in a bit of a sophmore slump, Titus looks like he wont even realize his WR3-esque stats that he had last season, but he did catch 6 of 7 last game, even without the hailmary thats somewhat promising.
