Thank you.

 

Collusion.

 

And I pretty much agree with that sentiment, since I think owners should be allowed to manage their teams as they see fit (basically just like fantasy football).

 

The only long-term problem is that when owners of teams see that trades like that are being made, in my experience, it lowers the overall integrity and "realism" with the league itself, and eventually, it just dies off on its own.

 

Thank you

lol you must be new here

This game is amazingly unrealistic

It's just fun

[Mt. Crushmore]

The Saints are interested in adding players at the following positions.  PM me if you have a player you are willing to give up:

 

RB

C (any OL really)

DT

DE

ILB

OLB

Correct, I am new.

 

I probably should have asked more questions before I joined...

[52520Andrew]

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

Honestly question whether the league would even allow it

Roger Godell is the commissioner.... 

[ludy51]

I feel like Brad Pitt from "money ball"

'Cept not nearly as smart but whatever! I'm here to have fun

[-Truth-]

Now that has to be under veto right? That's ridiculous.

If the Hali trade stands, this one should as well.

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

You never trade a young stud Dlinemen for an aging center who's average. That's not  moneyball. Now trading the player for picks to build a team would be more reasonable. But still

I'll respect that lol

Nobody's giving me picks. I've asked for them.

(I probably should watch moneyball if I'm gonna quote\reference it though)

Average is being quite kind.

Average should be good enoght with my trio

I'd look at it this way...

 

Dareus is probably one of the three best defensive lineman in all of football, and he has a cap number under $10M.

 

He is the definition of untouchable in my opinion...

[-Truth-]

I'll respect that lol

I mean no offense by that comment. Both trades involved two sides who were acting in what they deemed to be the best interest of their respective teams. They had an opinion of the value of the players involved and they acted on it. I'd understand if we had a scenario where two teams were colluding, but neither was the case, which is why the first trade stood and so should the second.

[rmcjacket23]

They are RBs, and past their prime RBs at that.

[ravensdan]

I'm sorry man. I mean he is below average. Dare us is easily top 5 in the league at his position and young. There's just zero logic here whatsoever.

[ludy51]

Ah well, it was my decision anyway *shrugs*

Based on the week that I've been in this league, from what I can tell, its basically just to see how many trades you can make and how exponentially different you can make a team look in one offseason.

 

Hence why I said my money is on a lot of the teams making a lot of moves actually being worse on paper when its all said and done...

[JO_75]

Beast Mode is no longer available for trade. Robert Turbin is still available. 

[NFLfan123]

Troy Polamalu is on the block

I reckon it pays to wait for the whole offseason to play out. There seems to be a few sides focusing on hanging on to their existing talent.

That would be the camp that I'm in...

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

Yeah. Well my cap situation is bad rn. But all I need is two MLBs and a RT. All in which I can acquire in the draft. All in all though the run defense is improved and I prefer Marshall to Cobb.

Also, Marshall with Rodgers absolutely terrifies me haha

*raises hand*

 

I did make a couple trades(including getting Eli which is big granted with my current QB situation I needed to get someone(anyone lol)) but primarily I am keeping most of my talent with me.

Eli sucks....

 

What you really need is a safety.....

 

Polamalu can be had

[GrimCoconut]

Ravens are no longer interested in CB unless we had prior discussion.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Raiders give:

CB DJ Hayden (special trade/cut thing)

 

I don't know why, but I lol'd at that

Eh better than what else is out there, especially any rookies outside the top 2. For the #10 pick and a second in return, that isn't bad as long as I can work with the cap.

 

Lol did you see that awful tackle attempt by him this year? I forget which game it was but wow what is bad. He is done and I don't have the cap to make such a dumb move in the first place.

I was a joke, I believe. Could be mistaken though.
