Trade Deadline Is Here--Need Advice !!

[Keith]

my team is pretty solid at 7-2. I've lost my starting QB three times now (Stafford, Romo, then Stafford again). Made a deal yesterday, moving Brandon Jackson for Jacob Tamme and Marshawn Lynch.

My roster is as follows:

QB: Hill, Kitna and Troy Smith

RB: Turner, Charles, Addai, Lynch, Snelling, Kevin Smith

WR/TE: Andre, Nicks, Bowe, Tamme, Gaffney, McCluster and Mike Thomas.

K: Carpenter

Def: Bears

Obviously I am weak at QB. I can deal for Mike Vick (I could also deal Tamme straight up for Palmer but I don't like Palmer that much and he has a tough cold-weather schedule ahead).

Potential deals for Vick are as follows: Andre for Vick straight up. OR.... Bowe, Addai and Tamme for Vick and Fred Jackson. I am trying to get the other guy to take Gaffney instead of Tamme.

If I do that deal, my core line-up is:

QB: Vick and Hill
RB: Turner, Charles, Lynch and Fred Jackson
WR: Andre, Nicks, Tamme and McCluster or Mike Thomas.

I have a habit of making either 1 trade too many, or 1 trade too few. Deadline is tomorrow morning.

Would you deal for Vick, or keep my team intact and play the match-ups with my QB committee (starting Hill most if not all games).

THANKS IN ADVANCE !!

If it were me I'd keep what you have. Definitely wouldn't trade Andre for Vick. Your qb's aren't all that bad to play matchups.

Appreciate the advice. I am leaning that way as well.

I like that 2nd trade offer. I don't think you can continue to win with those qbs. Consider yourself lucky to 7-2 with that lineup

Dave--I do consider myself lucky to be 7-2. But, don't forget I had Romo and Stafford as my QBs, not the guys I have now.

You don't think that Bowe, Addai and Tamme is too much for Vick and FJax ?

I could also do the Tamme for Palmer deal as well.

Appreciate the opinions.

I like Tamme and would hold onto him. If you could do Addai, Bowe, a player tbd. No way do I give up Andre for Vick. This guy is obviously trading Vick, cuz he is a backup for him. Offer Addai, Bowe and someone else. Just not Tamme.

[dhunter]

Agree with Cali. Try addai, bowe and gaffney

He wouldn't do the deal without Tamme--although he swapped kickers with me (I got Bironas and gave him Carpenter).

I only had Tamme for a day because I got him in a trade yesterday. I look at it this way: I ended up getting rid of Bowe, Addai and Brandon Jackson, and I got back Vick, Lynch and Fred Jackson. With Addai's injury uncertainty, I had to take the chance. My core is solid though: Vick, Turner, Charles, Andre and Nicks

I'm now trying to swing one last deal for VJax (offered Gaffney and Troy Smith to a guy desperate for another QB)

I tried. Believe me I did. I did get the kicker upgrade though. LOL

Dude, Smith is a waiver wire QB. If someone makes that trade I want in your league!

[Quiksilver]

Def wouldn't treade ANdre for Vick. Hill has been solid for me when he has played so I would stick with him.

that's why I did it. I sacrificed depth but I had to once I lost Stafford again. I am 7-2 and very likely to make the playoffs. Trying to think ahead here.

LOL. I know. Although I do think he shows enough this week that he keeps the job in SF.

[dhunter]

and now you know why that trade was a good move
