TRADER'S ALLEY
Buy Low and Sell High
Pros and Cons to Consider Before Closing the Deal
As of Tuesday September 25, 2007

Naturally trading Peyton Manning for Jake Delhomme would improve your team. However, you're not going to be able to pull off many lopsided trades like that in your league.

This column is designed to quickly unearth some not so obvious things to help you... buy low and sell high.

Further, we suggest you only make a trade if you receive plenty of value in return and the deal results in an improved roster for your squad. In short, obtain players that will outperform their current perceived value while trading overrated talent. Do that and you'll be on your way to improving your roster. The perfect trade!


Trade for Edgerrin James
Why trade for him now?
1) Schedule gets much easier.
2) Has a nice schedule during FF Playoff weeks 15 and 16.
3) Some owners still don't believe in him and see his one modest game 
in Week #3 as a sign of things to come (they are ignoring the 
fact Edge faced the Ravens defense in week three)

Possible trade bait to land him
Adrian Peterson
Jon Kitna

---

Trade for Larry Johnson
Why trade for him now?
