The St. Louis Rams trade:
Jamaal Charles (RB-KC) 7.33/11/11/UFA
Akeem Dent (LB-HOU) 0.46/0.46/0.46/0.46/UFA
To the New Orleans Saints for:
Pernell Mcfee (LB-CHI) 0.46/UFA
Darren Sproles (RB-PHI) 6.38/6.38/UFA
Davon House (CB-JAX) 0.9/0.9/0.9/0.9/UFA
2017 1ST (Saints)
2016 5TH (Bills)
2017 5TH (Saints)
Cap hit: Rams -0.05
I accept. Making Lemonade out of lemons. The injuries are crippling my squad, so much so that even winning a division title at this point may be out of the question. This trade gives me a few bodies to work with, in an attempt to put out a decent starting line-up. Getting McFee back is the prize in this deal for the current year, but only on a one year contract, I need to decide whether he would be worthy of a franchise tag next year. The 1st gives me a little more balance for the long term implications of this trade, while Sproles in a very expensive piece that may or may not help me this year, either way he's probably gone next off season. I hate to give up Charles, because he is a stud and I think will bounce back next year as he has not hit the 30 year age mark yet. However, holding to the big contracts of Forte and Rodgers was going to make my offseason very complicated. My goal was a league title this year, but injuries have derailed that hope, and now its time to try and survive and maybe take a small step backwards. Thanks to the Saints, good luck.
