The Jack Trippers & Team Kitty consummated a trade in the PAFFL fantasy football league. The details are below:
Jack Trippers receive:
- Rights to RB Shaun Alexander
- $3 2007
- $5 2008
Team Kitty receive:
- RB DeShaun Foster ($55, 2008)
- WR Bernard Berrian ($2, 2007)
- 2007 topper/holdover
- Agree to drop litigation from 1992 stemming from playoff disbursements
I think this is a good trade for both sides. In the broader fantasy world a deal like this would never occur b/c nobody in their right mind would trade Shaun Alexander for DeShaun Foster & Bernard Berrian. However when you factor in expected contributions with the cost of such production, the deal becomes more equitable, and depending on how you think Foster or Alexander will do in the near future could be one sided in time.
Thoughts/Comments?
I'm curious how the money part of it was decided?
Back to the trade, not sure why Kitty would want Foster. Good trade for the Tripper.

Foster is talented but he can't stay healthy...but I would agree, I like this deal for the Jack Trippers

Not to doubt Team Kitty's trades, but Chestor Taylor... and DeShaun Foster... not exactly a great 1-2 punch.
I'm predicting a Team Kitty appearance in the rookie draft, probably top 4 pick.

C. Benson, Taylor & Foster will be a decent starting 3 for this year. Problem is all three could be full-time backups come '08. At this point I'm predicting a borderline playoff team (depending on how realignment conversations end up).

Nothing against Team Kitty, but I think that Benson, Taylor and Foster are a HORRIBLE starting 3 RBs. Flat-Out Horrible... And I like Benson somewhat.
Contract-wise, I'm not sure how Weaver is going to escape this salary prison. He always does though.
He needs a 2nd QB and won't find one on the open market. He might get priced out of the Brady bidding war if he's not too careful. He just gave up too much.

I'm pretty sure that I'll finally be able to cash in on my "Team Kitty top 8 rookie pick" status this year.
