The Los Angeles Rams trade:
Ryan Matthews (RB-PHI) 5/5/UFA
Brandon Marshall (LB-DEN) 5.5/5.5/5.5/UFA
To the New Orleans Saints for
Larry Fitzgerald (WR-ARZ) 9/9/9/UFA
Reggie Bush (RB-BUF) 0.50/UFA
Paul Kruger (DE-NO) 0.5/UFA
I accept. This is a two for one deal, with the Saints getting alot younger in this deal for their future, and with the Rams going all in and getting much older. I was really hesitant with this deal, since the rumors of 33 year old Fitzgerald and the possibility of retirement a very real prospect. Im also a little worried because I now have absolutely nothing behind Mark Ingram, who has never shown the ability to stay healthy throughout the course of a season. This also leaves my LB unit in an even deeper hole by losing Marshall. However, all that being said, Im in the midst of another title run, and Fitzgerald comes with his rewards assuming he stays healthy. Excited to get Fitzgerald, but definitely going to be crossing my fingers that the lack of depth doesnt come back to hurt me this year and future years to come. Bush and Kruger are throw to even out cap limits.
Thanks to the Saints.
