Blockbuster Manning Deal - Thoughts? WHIR

[SabreNation 3]

OK, this is a bit of a follow up on a post I made last night. I had a glut of solid WRs and RBs on my bench, all of whom could be starting for the owner of Peyton Manning who was/is starved for HBs and not a whole lot better at WR. I decided to strike while the Pierre Thomas iron was hot to make something happen. We talked all day whenever we had a chance and we have a deal. Standard PPR scoring. Here are the pre-trade teams:

 

MY TEAM

QB - TRomo, BHoyer

RB - RBush, DMartin, JBell, DWoodhead, PThomas

WR - RWayne, RCobb, JNelson, CShorts, SJohnson

TE - JCook

PK - DBailey

DEF - Cincinatti

 

HIS TEAM

QB - PManning, RG3

RB - TRichardson, LBlount, JSnelling (Told you it was bad, poor bastard drafted Andre Brown before he got hurt in the preseason AND had Shane Vereen)

WR - AJohnson, DBowe, TAustin, TWilliams, KAllen

TE - CClay, LKendricks

PK - SGostkowski

DEF - Minnesota, New England

 

The trade:

I GIVE UP: Tony Romo, Jordy Nelson, Pierre Thomas

I GET: Peyton Manning, Dewayne Bowe, Tavon Austin

 

Going by the response to my "what should I offer" I won the trade in a big way. Yahoo's automated Trade Analyzer (I know, lulz but I couldn't resist hitting the button) I got hosed. I think it's pretty even, I got a massive upgrade (especially in terms of consistency) at arguably my weakest position and he got 3 guys that are almost certainly going to start on his team every week going forward.

 

What say you FF Geeks?

 

Leave a link to yours and I'll take a look.

I'm on the other guys side in basically the same situation except the offer to me was Payton RJennings and Snelling for Kap lynch and James jones

I think is is a great trade for you and a marginally good trade for him. I think you both win to varying degrees. Thanks for mine earlier.

Now you can enjoy watching Manning have a record breaking season. He has to have near heart attacks every week watching Romo and RGIII play. I really don't like this trade for him, but it looks solid for you.

If you can get Peyton Manning then hell yes you win. Romo actually won me my game last week with his ridiculous game, but I would have a much better season watching Manning throw the ball instead of Romo. I am still hoping for a big game against Washington though from Romo.

I would make the trade since you have reasonable bench depth.

 

Help me out.

i think that was a great trade for you and a decent trade for him. he got a wider variety of talent to help his team.
