I hope my post wasn't miscontrued. I had no problem with the trade per se.

My issue was whether Houston was competing to win based on the make up of its roster and its lack of players, especially DBs. I see that Houston's roster now has 52 players - albeit it's stocked with some pretty old players (a chance to see if long term experience really matters - as in playbook knowledge).

Nevertheless, I appreciate Houston's effort to be competitive. I recognize that GMs have different styles and ways to approach building and running team. All anyone ask is that GMs try to WIN each game utilizing all the tools at their disposal - including managing a "full" roster and all that entails, as well as game planning

Anyway, GL to both Houston and Tennessee going forward.

@ Salty_Watermelon

I gauge each trade on its own merit. I dont care about offers being made. I care about trades being made. I gave an explanation as requested, I made the call and it will stand.

Now to say I'm singling you or anyone else out in this league, is a lil bit insulting.
It's just a rejected trade nothing else. It doesn't mean you can't go back to bargaining table and workout another deal with him. I believe I've told you this before.

Ill put down my pitchfork for a second to say its ridiculous that the game has the LB at 900 and a 1st next year at 650.

I suppose it's the known value (80+ overall rating) of the player vs. the unknown value of the draft pick at this stage (it could be a 1.1 or a 1.32). Just as some players who are valued at 3000 (young studs) could be worth a couple of 1st rd draft choices to someone.

I reluctantly parted with my 1st rd choice in the next draft for a player who will (hopefully) eventually be a stud at MLB (under my scheme) and immediately shore up my LB corp that suffered a serious injury to its starting WLB (out 4-6 weeks at minimum). The gamble I took was whether I gave away a high 1st rd choice. A few more injuries like i suffered these past few weeks and the answer is yes.

Couple that with Tennessee having already traded away their first rounders for the next 2 seasons. Ya better bring the house for the league to allow Tennessee to trade their 1973 1st rounder.



I disagree with this.

Some teams would rather build via trades than taking chances on draft picks.

It's a legitimate strategy.

It's not unfair per say but it's definitely a trade that could also be overturned. You gave up 2 first rounders, a third, AND a decent RB in exchange for NY's 2 first rounders. I get that you receive a 1st this year but still, it doesn't seem to make sense. Especially because if it had been 2 younger owners that made this trade it probably would've resulted in a rejected trade. It's just slightly annoying in watching some questionable trades go through where as others are rejected.

Try not to hijack this thread guys.
If ya guys want to discuss that trade further, post it over in the Washington/Giants trade thread. This forum doesn't allow me to move posts to other threads to keep us somewhat organized.

Good argument.

With that said this has nothing to do with Philadelphia and im sure no other team has that problem to deal with. We got a game tonight and all this trade talk honestly has just been forgotten until next season.

RB W. Moore commented To the questions about trades that were made and his reply was "y'all should download the song New Phone by Wale. " while he smirked and ended the interview.
