Injured players and their trade value

[PunkRockRedneck 8]

It seems every time a player gets hurt the lowball trade offers start flying. But how much does a players injury decrease his overall value? I know it's all kind of relative, but take Colston for instance. Since he's out 4-6 weeks, how much would that drop his value in a trade. Would that drop him to equal of someone like Evans or S. Moss? Or does it not make much of a difference? What do you guys think?

Of course it drops his trade value. That 4-6 weeks can make or break a season. I believe that it drops him to a Hines Ward/Chris Chambers type of player.

 

Good Luck.
