[quote name='staticz']That wasn't the vibe I got, but whatever. I just wanted BV to know another offer was on the table. Freeman would be great but I picked up Edwards because you never answered the question - 'So no to that offer?' but instead replied with QB advice.

We can probably make a deal, but it is going to have to be restructured to include Edwards to the Bucs and a pick or player from the Bucs, since I would've taken a replacement LB instead of Edwards.

I'll shoot you a PM Tanebo[/QUOTE]

We can't trade Free agent pick up's if Im not mistaken .
 
[quote name='Mr Grand Cru']We can't trade Free agent pick up's if Im not mistaken .[/QUOTE]

You're not mistaken, we did say that last year. At least not during the season in which they're picked up, trading them down the line would be fine.

I would do a 1st, Edwards, Hill for Freeman and your 3rd.[/QUOTE]

If you could send me a PM of some of his stats like Speed and tackle man and zone coverage please. And maybe if we work something out BV the nice guy that he is will maybe let you swap your FA pick out:) edit didnt see the post above
 
[quote name='Tanabeo']And maybe if we work something out BV the nice guy that he is will maybe let you swap your FA pick out:)[/QUOTE]

Assuming he hasn't played his game yet, if he wants to drop Edwards and pick up someone different, I guess that would be okay. Assuming ubernes is fine with it as well, I'm not deciding something like that unilaterally.
 
[quote name='bvharris']Dropping him now. Go ahead and add him, Tanabeo.[/QUOTE]

i will ad both my guys when i get to the house
 
[quote name='Mr Grand Cru']BV what would you say would need to be taken or added to make our trade more even[/QUOTE]

Doom was the one who objected to it, so I'd ask him. I think it's a little biased in your favor, but obviously Tanabeo has a plan in mind for what he wants to do with also trading for Mallett. I probably would have allowed it, but since both Doom had a problem with it, I think you should at least try and modify it a little. If you guys both decided it's still what you wanted, I think it would be alright. We've had more outlandish trades.
 
[quote name='bvharris']This was the time to do it. Our rosters when we started the franchise are what we stick with otherwise.
[/QUOTE]

Will there be a second round of free agent pickups so if nobody picks him up after the first round can I get him then?

I messaged Tanebo and said it would probably make it a little more even if he kept his 3rd rounder ,
 
[quote name='Ultimate Matt X']Will there be a second round of free agent pickups so if nobody picks him up after the first round can I get him then?[/QUOTE]

Yes, but not until later in the season.

So after trading Mallett I took a look at the QB list just to see who was out there in case (god forbid) Brady were to get injured, since Hoyer is now my only backup. I didn't realize there was a female QB in the game (Hope Bromley, who I'm assuming won a contest or something). I'm shocked one of you guys hasn't signed her, made her your starter, and won with her just to prove you could. :D

Fine with me.
 
i think the Freeman trade to the 49ers was fair with the Bucs keeping their 3rd rd pick. The LB Brooks appears to fill a hole and if Freeman aint in the game, a 1st rd pick is adequate compensation. We've seen way worse trades than that and they've been pushed thru so I dont see why this would be a problem.

I agree, it works without the 3rd rounder. Freeman for Brooks and a 1st seems fair to me.
 
[quote name='Doomtime']Tanabeo has been asking for a running back and is trading away a franchise quarterback. Is linebacker really that much of a need?[/QUOTE]

Im just going to sweat out 4 more weeks till slaton comes back. I really like mallet to take freemans place and I want a Speed LB to bring pressure off the edge and curry does that if we need to add picks in the trade please post what you think is fair.
 
[quote name='Tanabeo']Trade up for Review QB Freeman POT A for LB Curry POT ??[/QUOTE]

Ages, potentials (from your trading partner), and for that matter, who's the other team in the trade? ;)

Edit: Their overall ratings too. Please don't make us do the legwork researching these trades.
 
[quote name='staticz']Trade Proposal

Bucs Get: A Curry - LOLB - 25yr - B POT
Seahawks Get: J Freeman - QB - 23yr - A POT[/QUOTE]

Freeman is an 87 and Curry is an 82.

I don't think a QB straight-up for a linebacker is even in any circumstance, even if their ratings and potentials were even (which they aren't).
 
[quote name='Tanabeo']Trade up for Review QB Freeman POT A for LB Curry POT ??[/QUOTE]

Why would you do this to yourself?

I figured as much. Let's add a 3rd rd pick next year, I'm sure Tanabeo won't mind :)

[quote name='bvharris']Or to Josh Freeman! Somewhere Bill Simmons is crying.[/QUOTE]

Freeman is old news Mallett is the new face of the bucs. and the real reason is I cant throw worth a crap with freeman, and all my LBs are slowwwww

Well in that case, go ahead with either trade. I was just trying to see what you were getting at. At the end of the day it's your team, was just passing along my input, although Grand Cru doesn't want me to :cool:

I'm not even sure it's even then. Tanabeo doesn't like Freeman obviously, but I still think he should be able to get more for him than this. Given how much more difficult it is for most QBs to throw on the move this year than it was last year, I'd think someone with a 93 in that category like Freeman would be pretty valuable.
 
[quote name='Doomtime']Tanabeo has been asking for a running back and is trading away a franchise quarterback. Is linebacker really that much of a need?[/QUOTE]

he was lookin for a RB... i offered him Stewart and he never really responded to it.
 
Given that there are two trades up in the air here for Freeman, I think Tanabeo should figure out what he wants to do, weigh offers, and then decide tomorrow. We're not going to rush this through either way. For all we know there's going to be a mystery 3rd team which comes out of nowhere (no, it won't be me).
 
I think just to make it fair I see where everyone is coming from im pulling the two offers off the table and going to hang on to Freeman or look at other things.

That is fine, I understand the need to look over the trade from a fairness standpoint and for Tanabeo to make his decision.

I have a legitimate need at QB, Tanabeo wants a faster LB. I'm also throwing in a 1st round pick for what currently amounts to a bench warmer.

Like I said, I'm cool either way - an hour ago I thought I was out of the running :p
 
I say trade him, just make sure it works for you after you look at all the offers. If you're not going to use him, you should get rid of him to get better.

Yeah, definitely don't back off trading him if that's the direction you go. We just want to make sure you don't rush into something just to make a deal.

Hey guys! I'm joining the league as the Rams. FYI: I am not a very good Madden player, but I thought it would be fun to try to get back into it. I participated in the league a few years ago and had a blast for the most part. Looking forward to playing with you guys.

Welcome! You're allowed to pick up one FA since we're currently in the process of going through the list. If you'd like to pick one up, just tell us who you're adding and also who you're dropping as outlined above.
 
The Rams were taken when I tried to join. I joined as the Saints but just quit the league, so the Saints are available again. Once the Rams are available, I'll rejoin.

I'm a hopeless St. Louis fan — only explanation for opting out of the Saints!
 
Whew, things got crazy in here last night.


Now that the dust has settled the Seahwaks would like to announce Trent Edwards as their starting QB and would also like to welcome the Rams owner into the league!
 
Crazy indeed. There's still 1 team left to pick a FA from group 3 (and 3 from group 2), but once that happens we can move on to the final group.

If you want to PM me a list of guys you're interested in, I can pick for you once we turn it over.
 
[quote name='ubernes']Did Ballhawk take the Rams? He's the Saints. Lyric is the Rams. What the hell guys?[/QUOTE]

Looks like it's still Listerfiend in control of the Rams, so he needs to be booted before Lyric can join.

Also, who's taking over the Jags? I have a trade offer for them.
 
[quote name='sprice8688']Ballhawk is the saints and is scheduled to play deuce at 5[/QUOTE]

has dan connor been released so I can pick him up before my game?
