A resounding NO!!! I believe this move would do more harm than good...

I believe the defensive players are a wash...IMO...with possibly you giving a bit more with Dumervil...Jordan is in a situation in Philadelphia which is a time share...DT are DT...defensive backs can be switched out year after year...

Now to the real meat of the trade...

You send:

Jay Cutler
Ronnie Brown
Adrian Peterson
Vincent Jackson

You get:

Philip Rivers
Mike Bell
Maurice Jones-Drew
Larry Fitzgerald

I believe Rivers, at the moment, is better than Cutler...but once Cutler develops with his young wide receivers...it will become a wash or Cutler could possibly surpass Rivers.

Mike Bell is a running back which is showing some things in New Orleans, but he a bowling ball and will find his way back into medicroty soon enough. I like MJD, but giving up ADP and Brown seems a bit steep.

Fitzgerald is better than Jackson, but how much of that is because of Kurt Warner. Jackson, outside of Gates (which you already own), is the only solid WR on the Chargers...and his targets and numbers prove that.

This being a dynasty we need to look long term...I believe you are giving too much for what you are getting in return.

I think the whole thing about the trade is I was wanting to get rid of cutler. He has left a bad taste in my mouth. I'm sure he will be fine and hopefully won't cost me a championship this season. He has already cost me multiple games.
