What was I Thinking Thread - Worst Trade you ever made?

Postby SanDiegoGuy » Mon Jan 23, 2017 2:27 pm

I still don't have a clue what I was thinking and there is even more to the story than we have time for but,

I traded Elliot for JJones along with Nelson for L Murray. Don't think I will ever get over it, especially since I had D Johnson to go along with Elliot for the next 4 years. And without Nelson, I had to go FA to get starting WRs the rest of the year. I did make the final, where I lost, but think I would have had a 3-4 yr dynasty if I had not made the trade. Stupid! Stupid!

If that's the worst you've got then you're lucky. My first year of dynasty before season started I did the following trade which was a "win" according to everyone on these boards at the time:

Give: Beckham/John Brown Get: Harvin (this was 2014 when Harvin was about late 3rd round start-up value)

That is my all time most stinging trade by far, lessened a bit now since Brown's value has tanked but still...

My worst trade also involves John Brown, in the offseason of last year:

Melvin Gordon for John Brown and 2.12

I got scared about the whole microfracture thing and was hoping that Fitz would start to regress and take over in Arizona. Very very wrong.

Sept of 2014 - Patriots had just been blown out on MNF by the Kansas City Chiefs. Jamaal Charles was getting banged up and splitting time with Knile Davis. I sent Tom Brady and Jamaal Charles for Jay Cutler (top 5 QB at the time), Terrance West (was a mid 1st rookie pick) and a future 2nd. Well needless to say Brady went on to absolutely tear it up the rest of the year. Charles took a week off and went back to his normal self. Cutler sucked and West never was.... Awful

Please. Your post does not match the title. I'll help you. 2 off-seasons ago I traded Bell for Lacy and Julius Thomas.

Top this if you can:

Traded LeVeon Bell (had just taken him 1.04 in a rookie draft), Lamar Miller and following years 1st (ended up being 1.05 - Brandin Cooks)

Received Trent Richardson

I was going to ride TRich and Martin to at least a few titles over the next decade after their hot rookie season.
Dynasty player since 2002.
I probably should have done something more productive with that time...

In 2013 I traded Megatron for Cobb & 1.4 (I was able to lose and get 1.1). I did the math and I would have been able to win it all had I not traded Megatron, He never really cooled down like I thought he would.

I did draft Watkins and Jordan Matthews. I then traded Watkins for Carr & and 1.4 in 2015 (picked Doctson) and won it all last year though. But knowing I would have gotten a championship grinds my gears.

Not a trade I made but a trade I declined...

Antonio Brown was offered to me for Eddie Lacy and Calvin Johnson before the 2015 season. I turned it down and a year later Megatron retired and Lacy finished with his worst season yet...

I have done every stupid trade in the book. When Luck and Wilson came out I drafted them both and no longer have them. Now I hold Stafford and Bortles in that league...ugggghhh
