2024 Off-Season Trades

[Shcritters]

12 team SF Start 9;

Give: 2.08, 3.09, 5.11
Get: 26 1st

Awesome trade for you. If you can be patient and afford to stack picks years out they will pay off.

[blemly]

I completely turned my bottom end team around this offseason. Through a series of 6-7 deals I turned:

Cousins, JT, Devonta, 2.04, Godwin, Charbonnet

into:

1.01, 1.02, 25 1st, 25 2nd, Downs

Yeah, that is my stacked team. I keep it stacked by kicking draft capital down the road. Now have two 25 1sts and three 26 1sts.
12 team SF Start 9:

QB: TLaw, Kyler, Bryce, Penix
RB: Bijan, Breece, Gibbs, Corum
WR: Jefferson, Chase, ARSB, Puka, London, G. Wilson, Nabers

I gave: 3.10, 2025 3rd, 2026 2nd, 2027 4th

I got: 2.01

Took Adonai Mitchell

Meh. Value wise for the 2.01 I guess it is just about fine, but I value Mitchell less than what you gave up.

Yup

I’d so much rather use that 2nd in season, to go get a productive vet like Evans, Allen, Amari Cooper etc

[MontrealBen]

10 team, 1QB, 0.5 ppr.

I need to rebuild and it’s almost impossible to trade vets in their own in this league.

Gave: 1.03 (RO), Kamara
Got: Gibbs, JReed

I normally hate building RB first, but I thought value was too good to pass up.

[gogobradyarm]

In a 10 team league, I really like this. Gibbs probably has more value over the next couple seasons, you can always flip him if you choose.

For Team 2 in Sig, which is a contract and salary league.

TRADE 1
Gave: Bijan Robinson ($54 this year, $34 in 2025)
Got: Elijah Moore (costs $5 to drop this year) and held $4 of Robinson's salary this year only.

TRADE 2
Gave: Trevor Lawrence ($76 this year, $51 through 2026), Tony Pollard ($1 through 2027 but holding out -- needs salary bump to $31 or sits for 7 NFL games)
Got: Keaton Mitchell ($1 through 2027) and held $31 of Lawrence's salary this year only.


THOUGHT-PROCESS
My team as constructed would not have won in 2024. The only hope I had would be to defer the max of $60 to next year, crippling my team in 2025+ for an improved chance this year when I still wouldn't be anywhere near the favorite. I figured my best asset would be cap space, giving me three possible paths:

1) Load up on rookies in 2024 (our Rookie Auction in Sunday) and set myself up for 2025+ with a strong team and with cap space.
2) Hold my cap space until our August Auction and try to restock with veterans for a 2024 push.
3) Use my available cap space to advance salary, reducing my team's cap considerably in 2025+.

Despite the likely value loss in some of the trades (I kept more money than I would have liked for Lawrence, and Bijan in 2025+ is a strong value), I decided that the flexibility was worth it, and I didn't want to miss out on moving those high-priced players in case teams didn't have the cap space to absorb them later.

Update. We just completed our Rookie Auction (full results here: viewtopic.php?t=242771).

In the end, I saved $90 with the trades above. With the extra cap room, I was able to get the following players for $119 (I can give all 3-5 year contracts; 4 will go on my Taxi Squad and can be dropped for free any time):

Nix ($21)
A Reed ($1)

Brooks ($19)
Wright ($10)
Gruerendo ($2)
Schrader ($1)

Nabers ($25)
Worthy ($17)
Polk ($6)
Franklin ($6)

Sinnott ($9)
All ($2)

Sig 1 - 10T 1QB league:

Sent: 2.07 & 3.04
Received: 2.02

Took Keon Coleman

[MacDaddy123]

12 team SF Start 10 Full IDP, not a major trade, mostly made to clear roster space.

Give: 4.11, 5.05, 5.11
Get: 2025 mid 3rd

[ausmith26]

Gave: 2026 1st & 2026 3rd
Got: Kenneth Walker III, Wan'Dale Robinson, 3.02, & 4.12

The 1st is the heavy favorite to be 1.01 but its two years out and a lot can happen. Gives me 3 young RBs and 3 young WRs to build around. My next move is to trade Nick Chubb to a contender for whatever I can get.

[Shoreline Steamers]

Hoping to do the same, but waiting until he's back to playing. If we're lucky, he won't miss too much time this year and will look OK upon returning.
