I've been wanting to throw this out there, although it was previously posted in the Outlaw County thread.
I know how I feel about this deal, but in order to demonstrate to some of the newcomers to the fantasy realm what goes into a Dynasty/Keeper league trade as opposed to a redraft league, I wanted inputs from our scholars here at the Outlaw.
Some quick background info on the league format. DEEP 16-team Dynasty (keep your entire roster from year-to-year); PPR; IDP; 6 points for all TD's; standard scoring stats aside from that.
My trade partner and I are both new to this league for 2009 and we're both inheriting teams from previous owners. He and I were both pleased with the transaction and the league commish approved it without delay.
I sent Kurt Warner and Ray Rice away and received Jay Cutler.
From my end, I had Warner, Eli Manning and Chad Henne as my QB corps. I also had McFadden, Ronnie Brown, Ray Rice, Tashard Choice, and Michael Bush in my backfield.
I had recently dealt my 2010 first round pick (rookie/FA draft) to a different owner for his 2009 1.06 pick (I already had my original 1.02 pick as well), which meant I needed to free an additional roster spot for that extra pick. My rationale was that alleviated the need to take Stafford/Sanchez with either of those picks, and I could get a suitable replacement for Rice with that 1.06 pick.
In a 1-year league, one would never make that deal, but given the context I am interested to hear some opinions on the deal to possibly give guidance to others who face decisions like this in the future.
Thanks guys.
