Sorry to hear about your loss Somnia.
I like Wellie's proposal, release players that are going to be FA in X year. We're sticking to draft picks that were tendered, why not use contract years for FA's. Would be the most realistic solution. Not sure how many are interested in keeping it true to life, especially after that trade.

Trades have to get commish approval, right?

How did I get ripped off?
I had 3 80+ rated CBs. My LE is rated 64. Garbage. In return I get a decent LE in return and I also have the 32nd pick in every round. Whoopee.
So I give up an older RB who btw is rated 95, for a younger RB who is also rated 95. I don't need a 2nd round 32nd pick, and like I said I still have 2 other CBs rated 85+. I can't do anything in the draft anyway because of my pick, so I will fill whatever holes I need in FA.
So where is the ripoff?
EDIT: Sorry for your loss Somnia. I lost my grandmother a few years ago, so I understand the feeling. Take your time with grieving and be there for your mother/father and family will help you get through this rough time.

Comes with the territory I guess. You and I had some amazing trades in NBA2K, but haters gonna hate.

The RB trade ends up pretty much even. A young 80+ CB is more influential in a game than a young 70+ DE. And the pick is still high enough to get a decent player.
Don't get me wrong, seeing as how I am in your division I have no problem with this trade. I finally learned not to pass it deep against you. A player controlled CB will almost always beat a cpu WR if the ball is in the air for a long time. Plus Cromartie's speed doesn't help
Also, I would think there would be some decent DEs in the free agent pool.
Lonestar said:
Maybe. Maybe not. Taking a chance. I took a chance on Edwards last season who as we all know doesn't have the best of hands despite being rated 85+. I knew going into that trade that Edwards might be the better receiver than Jackson, but if he can't catch shit what will it matter?
I went with it anyway.
I'd say that trade worked out pretty well.
TheCrow said:
Maybe I'll be in a similar situation as the Titans. Had a great season(with winning SB and all), but next season be in the dumps. In that case I'll reload with a high pick in each round of the draft and reload some talent. Or maybe I have success again next season. Who knows!
That's why they play the games men!

Who approved this trade?
It's not the worst trade out there. I very well could have fleeced Crow, in getting Orton to sit on the bench, for a low level DT and a 4th round pick this year. So I have an adequate backup QB, and keeps me from having to invest right now in a QB in the draft.

All of them or did you submit to a specific one? Just curious how the system works.Smokey said:

I have to keep up with the South. DM will reload so will Sable and his Saints. Q isnt going to be still either. The division is tough and i feel the key to the deal is Cason and the 2nd rounder. Cason gives me two 80 corners with 77-79 all the way through my depth chart.
I'm sure i'll get a good piece with my first rounder and the second rounder i got from him will give me something decent and it also replaces the second rounder that goes to the Chiefs for the Gonzo trade.
The only thing is will my Oline mesh well with LT's running style. Turner is more of a bruising RB and LT is more of an elusive type. We shall see. I'm also banking on LT staying around at least two more seasons. If not i have Norwood waiting in the wings.

well at least somebody got it right, come on now how often does two star rbs get traded? I thought we were going for realistic? Isn't that why trades got rejected last year?
Also, if anyone's getting ripped off, it's the superbowl champ, so we're unofficially going to be more lenient in letting it go through than if a horrible team is giving up more in the deal. :lol
I think the league won't (unfortunately) go on for long enough for age to be a factor. Therefore, on paper, Atlanta wins the deal..but Smokey has nothing left to prove, and if he'd prefer to use Turner, let him give up a little more for him.
edit: I approached it solely from a basis of whether or not it was fair, not whether or not we're allowing stars to be traded. Cold and Rors had no problem, and FMT and I were sitting on the fence. If DM is against it, that still means that 2 votes for stand against only one against and two undecided and it went through! Oh, this is just like the health care bill!

Turner is a different back than LT or Sproles. I think the trade was worth it.Smokey said:

Champ plays rb?
So who else has a 97 rated qb, maybe ill trade brees for them and a DE?
sableholic said:
Sometimes.
The trade is understandable for DCX and he doesn't really lose anything. LT will play throughout this entire franchise and Cason will only get better.
Edit: BTW we still don't know who is going to be available in the free agent draft. If we do end up doing it there should be some decent players up for grabs.

What if we do a fantasy draft
That would be epic

I think denoggs addendum is a good idea.
Also, focusing on overall player rating alone is a flawed metric. There are a ton of ratings which make up the overall ranking of a player. I mean, what is really that much different between an 80 or 79 player? This is why I would rather go with the 230 metric for 3 players versus 80+. It makes the ability to balance out a team properly. On top of this, the players who cut the biggest amount should be highest in the FA pool, good idea.

He is rated 91 in man cov. and seeing as how CBs can just run in front of receivers and slow them down, his lack of speed isn't that much of a factor. He also is rated 70 in catching so at least he doesn't suffer from hands of stone. But then again, he will be playing for DCX.

I'm all for wheeling and dealing. I think the trade is fine. Would it happen in the NFL? I think SD would have to give a lot more draft picks in the deal, but I could see it happening. The thing is, a LOT more NFL players go in free agency, and since we can't really replicate it the exact same way as real-life (i.e. the highest rated FA automatically goes to me), trades that are a little high on the blockbuster scale are our only way of getting some change on rosters. I say we should have fun with it, how many chances are we gonna have to do this stuff until next August/Sept? We're already almost halfway through the NFL season.
P.S. Send me some trade offers fuckers. You know you want Haynesworth.

Thanks for all of the condolences guys I really appreciate it. It looks like we might not be leaving for Florida to first thing in the morning. If you get the entire FA thing squared out FMT and I'm still at home tonight I'll do my cuts before leaving. I know I shouldn't be worrying about it right now, but it's something to take my mind off of it (just like how I'm going to play dj hero and some madden right now).

somehow I missed your post on the last page, but very sorry to hear about your loss.
I am in the market for a QB not named Tarvarus. Shoot me some offers that don't have the words Peterson, Adrian, AP, All Day, or any combination of the afforementioned in the offer.
Wow. I didn't think he would be rated equally with LT. I was misinformed I guess.:lol
