Fictional Trade Conversation #1

TRADE 1:

Super Manning Receives: HB Matt Forte and HB Michael Bush

Scott's Tots Receives: WR Michael Crabtree, 2015 1st (SM), 2016 1st (SM), 2014 2nd (Tots), 2014 (GO)

Premise: Matt Forte will be 28 years old in December, running back shelf lives are not that long he probably has this year and another year left of solid production (unless he's Gore like).

SM Reasoning: Extremely easy reasoning here, your team is built to win now. Peyton is having the most amazing year by a quarterback of all time, don't squander it. Fitz and Andre are old and at least some of DT's production is tied to Peyton being the QB. If Super Manning made a deal for Forte they'd be the unquestioned number three team in the league. Peyton is probably playing 1-2 more years after this one, getting a Forte deal done gives you a solid 2-3 year championship window.

Tot's Reasoning: Your team is young and good but no one views it as a real threat currently. Everyone in your starting line up and on your bench is young by the time they're truly ready to be impact fantasy performers Forte will be declining. If this deal was made you're looking at a line up of R.Wilson (24), Murray (25), Lacy (22), Crabtree (26), Nelson (28), A.Brown (25), Eifert (22), with a 2015 1st and (3) 2016 1sts. This deal would give you a chance to make a young powerhouse team while still staying competitive this year.
