ONESOLO8 0 Posted October 27, 2006 I want to upgrade my defense. I was thinking of offering my Patriots defense and Travis Henry in return I get Bears defense and Chris Perry (Bengals). If you were the other team, would you accept? Am I giving up too much in Henry. My team is down below in blue. The other team has: QB - Vick , Culpepper , Losman RB - Westbrook , Benson , Norwood , Jamal Lewis , Perry WR - C. Johnson , McCardell , Wayne , Bennet , C. Henry , Horn , Williamson TE - Winslow Def - Bears Should I offer the trade? I will answer yours Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aauhoops33 0 Posted October 27, 2006 if u can get da bears d that easily, then do it as quick as you can. http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=248504 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaddogMoney 0 Posted October 28, 2006 You upgrade your D and really lose nothing at RB since you have so much depth there. The only question is if you think you could face the other team in the playoffs. Are you upgrading his RB more than you're upgrading your D? I would do the trade. Any advice for my QB troubles? http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=248547 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bpow0407 0 Posted October 28, 2006 The other guy needs a #2 RB, or at least more options at #2 RB. If the league starts 2 RBs, I'd be about 50/50 on accepting that trade, if I was him. Good luck getting the Bears D! http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=248559 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gfischer17 0 Posted October 28, 2006 I have the Bears D. I wouldn't do it. They are one of my top scorers (depends on your league), not to mention their schedule is cake. You might have to buck up more. see mine http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=248635 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SaintsInDome2006 441 Posted October 28, 2006 That's not a bad trade offer, though I don't think I would accept it because of the added value of the bears' DST. I see it's a keeper league but if the other guy wants to win this year, then he should take a shot at getting Henry. On the other hand I think the Bears will continue to be a dominant force. If i was him I might demand a different/better RB or I might ask for Grossman (+NE) which you could afford. He's carrying Culp and Losman and that's a bit of a puzzle to me. Vick just went off so maybe that's a tougher sell now, but Vick is definitely no mr. consistency. Why not offer him two trade options, Henry+NE or Grossman+NE and point out that his season is over and the Bears won't help him if he doesn't get another starting RB. Thanks for answering mine.

Ponyboy 0 Posted October 28, 2006 Not sure if Henry will keep up his performance. Look at his schedule. Take the Bears DST for sure!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jjoel 0 Posted October 28, 2006 I would make this trade for sure- you have 2 sure-fire starters in Johnson and Parker, and you have Drew as a suitable backup, who is about the same as Henry, IMHO. The other guys is improving at RB, so it seems like a fair trade.

nosferatu9368 0 Posted October 28, 2006 I for the most part agree with everyone, getting the Bears D will help alot and you have depth at RB so you can offer Henry. Not sure i'd part with the Bears D if I were him but he does need a back. Thanks for answering mine... Good Luck Peace... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slestack11 0 Posted October 28, 2006 If you don't need Travis Henry on your team, then the deal looks good. You can never use too many extra RB's though as they get hurt all the time. The Bears D is an upgrade from the Patriots, but not by much. It also depends on how much weight your scoring system gives to Defense. Patriots are pretty good already. Thanks for the reply on mine.

darkjedi 0 Posted October 28, 2006 Good use of your RB depth. I wouldn't spend any more on that upgrade though. You look good as you are. Please see mine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

surfnturf3g01 0 Posted October 28, 2006 If I were the other guy I wouldn't accept this trade...I would need more of an upgrade than T.Henry to give up the Bears D...maybe T.Holt for C.Johnson or R.Wayne instead...just a thought...if he'll accept it than it's a great deal for you...but I wouldn't...

HowieWan 0 Posted October 28, 2006 Personally, I would let him suffer until he comes with a trade proposal to you. He has no true #2 RB, so unless you think that one is going to emerge from his team, I would wait it out. Then, let him know that you would be interested in trading for the Bears DEF, and you want him to make an offer. See what happens. Maybe he will demand even less than Henry for the Bears. You are in the position of power, because the Patriots are no slouch on DEF, especially this week against the hapless Vikings offense. Make your opponent sell low...

dominus florenzus 0 Posted October 28, 2006 I'd definitely do this trade. By starting Chicago D each week you are adding to your point total... the other guy needs a RB and your RBs are solid. Also if Rudi ever goes down you'd have a good back in Perry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rottytiny 7 Posted October 28, 2006 I'd do the trade, you won't use Henry anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
