So Jacobs is out 3-5 weeks.
I managed to snag ward off the WW. How much "ransom" should I "extort" from the Jacobs owner?
The biggest problem is that his team isn't very good/deep so there are not many pieces that he'd deal.
Romo, Willie Parker are the 2 biggies (which means I'd have to package more than just jacobs to get an "upgrade") that he has.
Here's his team: Tony Romo (Dal - QB) Marques Colston (NO - WR) Anquan Boldin (Ari - WR) Willie Parker (Pit - RB) Brandon Jacobs (NYG - RB) Jeremy Shockey (NYG - TE) Vernand Morency (GB - RB) Devery Henderson (NO - WR) Greg Olsen (Chi - TE) D Josh McCown (Oak - QB) Antwaan Randle El (Was - WR) Robbie Gould (Chi - K) Arizona (Ari - DEF) Dallas (Dal - DEF)
here's mine: Starters QB: E Manning RB: Steven Jackson RB: Edge James WR: R. Wayne WR: P. Burress TE: V. Davis K: M. Stover D: IND <---plan on streaming the D's based on matchups (D's were going WAY too early in our league)
Bench RB: Brandon Jackson RB: L. Betts WR: Santana Moss WR: J. Porter <---Curry is on the waiver wire and I'm gonna try and pick him up when he clears RB: D Ward D: KC <----basically my "bye week" spot for picking up who I need to fill in for

you already have a nice team so you really don't have to do anything just yet but he is hurting at RB, so you might be better off asking for a receiver or dallas def. I don't think he would move parker since that would make no sense since he is trying to upgrade his running game. you maybe able to ask for romo but don't know what's available for him to pick up in waivers so that may not work. that's why I think you should try and acquire colston, boldin or randel el or dallas defense. good luck

I don;t think he would trade Romo since his backup is McGown. He probably would not trade a RB either. Your TE's are pretty close as well . This leaves WR or DEF. I dont think you have much problem at WR as you only start 2 WR. Your team is solid at WR with S. Moss on the bench. He doesn't have a good enough WR for you to offer Boldin for S. Moss & Ward. That would be giving up too much. Raider might be right with trying to go heads up Ward for Dallas.

Well apparently if you package him with enough and make it a 3 way deal you can get Brees, Branch, C. Taylor and McCown for E. Manning, Burress, D. Ward and Garrard.

It might work but I think the bigger the trade the bigger the risk, and his biggest need in my opinion is defense, but it's his team and his call. One example of making to many changes to a roster is in one of my baseball leagues I was killing the rest of the teams and at the all star break I figured I would make some trades and mix things up a bit, so a team offered me A-Rod and some really nice pieces for most of my great pitching and it turned out to burn me in the end, I currently sit in 8th place with no where to go but down. O well leason learned. Good Luck

True, but I'm ok with this deal.
Unless you have CHI or BAL, D's are pretty much interchangeable and there are always value to be found on the waiver wire so I'm not that worried about "upgrading" that spot.
I get a better QB, a WR of similar value AND get rid of the headaches that are the NYG (is manning playing...when is he coming back...how does that effect Burress...etc) basically for two guys that I "sold" high and a couple of waiver wire pickups.
It's a 14 team league so getting quality top players at the "skill" positions is good. I'm ok with D being my only "real" weakness.
