c_lou Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 I have been offered a trade by another owner. Michael Turner and $10 2008 salary for Braylon Edwards. If I make the deal, I can keep Turner for $17, but I lose Edwards who is only costing me $24 this year. My other Keepers are Joe Addai for $74 and Big Ben for $11. The big name WR's that are available are Wayne, Houshyourmama, Roy Williams, Calvin Johnson, Plaxico, Boldin, Jennings, Driver. I would have $195 in 2008 salary to round out my team. I am leaning towards not doing this deal. I am not liking that the Falcons may start Matt Ryan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 What other running backs are out there? How many RBs can you start? Where are you at with cap space without this deal? Here's my take. You already have Addai who I think is primed for a STUD year. Even though there's some really good WRs out there (Wayne and Plax are the main two- the others are all hit or miss this season IMO) I think I'd rather have Addai/Braylon. I think Turner is the real deal, but the guy is untested as a starter and that Falcons passing game is going to be horrible. First year starter against 8 guys in the box...I just don't know.

MCH Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Braylon is a top 3 receiver. Turner is barely considered a top 10 RB. I'm not sure how tempting an extra $10 is in your league, but it would have to be extremely helpful to give up Braylon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't any stud RB's left really. Unless you count Reggie Bush and Willis McGahee as studs. We start 2 RB's. If I don't do the deal I am sitting at $180 for the rest of my team. I also think Turner is the goods, but I don't like what the Falcons are going to do. Plus how can you keep Norwood off the field. Maybe I will just not keep Big Ben. I hate, hate, hate, their schedule. That frees up $11 for me to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
