Trade Announcement

Jets trade
Shonn Greene, RB (27 years old, 86 OVR)

Ravens trade
2013 2nd Round Pick
2013 4th Round Pick

I hope I'm not letting my hate of Greene, Sanchez and just about all the real life Jets that annoy me every week get the best of me. BUT, I hardly use Greene and wanted to open it up to a more RB committee with Powell/Knight. Greene is pretty affordable but I think this is a pretty solid haul for him.

Edit: Unless you meant Julius Thomas. Then we can talk.

Dear Trade Cap,

Please reinstitute yourself.

I went and took a look. If you applied the trade cap to the current season, one team would be over the cap (Raiders) with two more currently at the cap (Broncos and Falcons). There have also been fewer trades overall than there were in season 1 last year. With the trade deadline a week away, it certainly doesn't look like the lack of a cap has made too much of a difference in either the volume or impact of trades.

For the record, here are just a few of the players who were traded last year under the cap, just in season one:
Jonathan Stewart
Josh Freeman
Earl Thomas
Marshawn Lynch
Adrian Peterson
Julius Peppers
Anquan Boldin
Daryl Smith
Brian Waters
Asante Samuel
Miles Austin
Brandon Carr
Drew Brees
Tracy Porter
Patrick Peterson
Devin Hester
Leodis McKelvin

Again, that's just from season one. All with the cap in place.

But it made me feel better, lmao.

Thanks for doing this, because I would just think it and never do the research to back it up.

I've definitely made more trades than usual this year, but only the Rivers deal would be considered anything major.

I'll be honest, I was surprised as well. Maybe we'll see an uptick in season 2, but thus far it really doesn't seem to have been an issue.

Just out of curiousity, how many teams reached the cap last year in season 1?

I actually already knew that i would be exactly at the trade cap from last year doom and i talked about in pms about 2 weeks ago i wasny shocked at all.

Unfortunately I wasn't keeping track in the trade log until season 2, but I just took a glance and it looks like 3 teams reached the cap in season 1:

Patriots (me)
Bucs (Tanabeo)
Ravens (MA)

No surprise on the first two, though I'd forgotten MA was so active in deals early on (trading away Rice and adding Peppers).

I meant I was surprised that there hasn't been more trading without the cap, not that a few of us had reached it (I knew I had as well).

Our first ever three-way all-trade-committee deal. Fun!

Chiefs get:
QB Brandon Weeden - 76 OVR, 650k 4 years left, 28 (lol) (from Broncos)
WR Greg Orton - 63 OVR, 390k 1 year left, 26 (from Broncos)

Jets get:
QB Ricky Stanzi - 67 OVR, 370k 3 years left, 25 (from Chiefs)
4th round pick (from Broncos)

Broncos get:
WR Dexter McCluster - 72 OVR, 820k 2 years left, 24 (from Chiefs)
QB Mark Sanchez - 80 OVR, 6.42 million 5 years left, 25 (from Jets)

Updated with contract info.

Thanks. As I suspected, Sanchez is the only one who even cracks a million.

I got 14 million in space, someone send me a superstar!

Figured i'd just edit this and post my trade block:

Vincent Jackson: WR, 29, 89 OVR, 55 million over 5 years
Doug Martin: RB, 23, 6.80M over 4 years
Michael Bennet: RE, 26, 2.74M over 1 year

I'd like a MLB, CB or speedy WR. im also willing to trade picks
