Around SBN: The Gift Of The 2003 Tigers

So there is this guy in my league who is a huge pats fan. He already has brady on his team. I have moss and he is trying to get moss from me. Here is what he offered:

I GET:
Andre Johnson
Jason Witten
Devin Hester
Jonathan Stewart

I GIVE UP:
Randy Moss
Lendale White
Earl Bennett

I play the guy in Week 8, which is when the pats are on bye, so I wouldn’t have to play Brady/Moss. I would be replacing Randy with Andre, replacing either Shiancoe or Vernon Davis with Jason Witten, and my backups would be Hester/Stewart instead of White/Bennett.

Should I pull the trigger? I would be happy to have no pats on my team, but Randy did look good last night. That coupled with the fact that Andre did not have a good game (although he faced Darrelle Revis, who Randy gets to face this week) is making this a little bit of a decision. Seems like he is giving me a lot though.

Thoughts?

who's the guy off your bench that you'd have to drop for it to go through?

Witten looks really attractive and ‘Dre Johnson is a beast, but probably won’t be as productive as Moss.

Hester is an upgrade from Bennett.

Stewart is a big ? with DeAngelo and the Delhomme meltdown. LenWhale is lower ceiling, higher floor.

hmm. I’d have to think about this one for a while.

Could you post what your whole roster would be before and after the trade?

It's not just your perceptions that can be wrong. Even your memory is often incomplete or possibly flat out wrong.

so basically

Witten for Vernon
Dre for Moss
Hester for Bennet
Stewart for LenWhale.

I’d probably do it. Big TE upgrade, minor WR downgrade, and the bench seems like a wash.

Do it

the only real loss is Moss, but you replace him with 3 productive players

I’d like to see a copy of his roster.

Hit em with your groin!
