1) Traded: Byron Jones, Willie Snead, Paul Richardson, 2018 1st round pick(turned out to be 10th pick), 2019 2nd round pick.
Received: Drew Brees
Thought Process: I was 1-2 at this point of the season. I just lost a game by 2 points, and my QB was Eli Manning who did horrible the first 3 weeks. I felt like I was 1 QB and a RB away from becoming a championship team and had to make this trade happen. A lot of people think this was a really bad trade for me but to be honest I have no regrets. At the time Brees was still considered a stud and I thought he'd end as a top 5 QB. So even for a 1 year rental to compete for a championship I thought I wasn't giving up much.
2) Traded: Hunter Henry, Will Fuller and 2018 4th Round Pick.
Received: 2018 First Round Pick(1.07), 2019 First Round Pick, 2018 5th Round Pick, George Kittle, and Moncrief.
Thought Process: Fuller was coming off some amazing games and he was my WR4 at the time. I didn't think he was going to maintain his production and had to move him for a first while I had the chance. I'm a big fan of Hunter Henry and it was tough to trade him but I was just getting too much of a return not to let him go. It also turned out I traded to get him back just a few weeks ago
3) Traded: Latavis Murray, Moncrief, and 2019 First Round Pick, 2018 Third round Pick.
Received: Alshon Jefferies, Wesley Woodyard, and Rob Kelly.
Thought Process: Just wanted to upgrade my WR, and LB to make a late push. My record wasn't so good at this point and my team was underperforming so this was my last hope to turn it around.
4) Traded: Alshon Jefferies, Eli Manning, Malik Hooker, Rob Kelly, and 2018 First Round Pick(1.07).
Received: AJ Green, CJ Beathard, Tavon Austin, and 2.02(18th overall pick).
Thought Process: Another late push, tried to upgrade at WR and wanted to acquire AJ hoping to flip him for Odell but that never happened. I've gotten mixed grades on this trade, looking back at it now I feel like I should've held onto what I had.
5) Traded: Taywan Taylor
Received: 2018 Third Round Pick.
Thought Process: Just wanted to get some picks.
6) Traded: George Kittles, 2018 5th Round Pick.
Received: 4th Round Pick.
Thought: Saw Jonnu Smith on waivers and was like why not trade Kittles for a pick. Now looking back at it this is the trade I regret the most.
This off-season trades:
7) Traded: 2018 4th Round Pick, and 2019 2nd Round Pick.
Received: Lamar Miller
Thoughts: Really excited about this trade. Feels like a big steal for me as long as Miller plays. I needed a solid RB2 badly and hopefully this trades gets me that at least for a year.
8) Traded: Justin Houston
Received: 2018 2nd Round Pick (2.13), $18 wavier cash.
9) Traded: Cameron Meredith, and 3.04.
Received: 2.09, and 3.09.
10) Traded: 2.09, 2.13, and 2019 3rd Round Pick.
Received: Hunter Henry
Thought Process: Really high on him, wanted him back badly. Think I got him back for a steal compared to what I got when I traded him.
11) Traded: Demarcus Lawrence
Received: 1.08
Thoughts: Not sure about this, hopefully it works out for me.
A lot of deals in less then a year but I'm trying to compete still for at least another 2-3 years. Trades 1, 4, and 6 were with the same owner and those were my biggest trades I'd say. I think I may have to be more smarter when I trade with him. Feel free to rip me apart for my stupid mistakes. Now that I have a feel for Dynasty leagues I think I'll make less mistakes.
