Let's see if we can't stir a little discussion-

Give me your best, and worst trades ever. Let's keep it to competitive leagues though. We've all pulled off Tomlinson for Reuben Droughns type deals in free leagues

So many trades hard to pick one as best or worse. However for best this trade sticks in my mind. Money league . Last off season, David Johnson is getting a new offensive system that many thought would fit way better then the old up the middle system he was in the year before.

I trade: David Johnson

I get: Phillip Lindsey, 2020 first, 2020 second. 2021 first, 2021 second

Now to make this even better the 2020 first ends up being 1.01 ( big surprise, right :rolleyes2:)


Might note the commissioner doesn't believe in cancelling lopsided trades, but he actually did contact me over this trade with a IDK about OKing this trade.

That’s crazy someone would trade that much.

In a money league no less. At the time down grading to Lindsey was not something I wanted to do as I considered my roster to be a contender, but could not pass on the draft capitol.

Same year Same league

I traded Tom Brady for C J Anderson and some rookie named Odell Beckham.

Sadly I then went and traded C J Anderson for Denard Robinson a few weeks later.


I don't know how many times I have made a trade that the guy I got would get injured the next week and his season is over.

Man, that's a full price haul for DJ back when he was a consensus first overall pick for redrafted. Crazy you got that coming off a down year. And then how it panned out...geesh

For worse impossible to name one, because I've had some whoopers. However there is one that really sticks in my craw to this day that was really bad. In D1

We’ve all been there man. I remember when Trent Richardson went to the Colts. I went all in on that one and got more than a little burned.

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders.

I don't trade much.

But there was the AUTOPICK fiasco of 2011 on CBS.
It was the year that Peyton Manning missed. I did not preset my rankings because I had every intention of being there for the draft (but a meeting ran late).

After drafting me the top RB Adrian Peterson, it then loaded me up with 5 Colts players: Reggie Wayne, Pierre Garcon, Dallas Clark, Peyton Manning and even Adam Vinatieri.

Fortuntely, Scape came to my rescue with a trade. I had to part with Peterson, but I ended up with Tom Brady and another top 10 RB. Trade was a win-win... and at least it gave me a fighting chance.

Well, I've done some really good deals and some really bad ones in my time - but this one still haunts to this day. Late season 2yrs ago. ...
Gave; S. Michel, R. Burkhead and upcoming draft 1st (which I got from someone else) for; Lindsey, Freeman and upcoming 2nd. While it doesn't appear horrible on the surface, that 1st I gave turned out to be the 1.1 which he used to score J. Jacobs. ....

You still owe me for that one Treff. ......

Kinda leaves the impression that Harold owns you in trades :)
