Who Should I trade Cutler for: Forte or Lynch

Hi guys
I was wondering if you could help me out. I'm not really a football expert, but I know RB's are really important.

I just picked up Kyle Orton off the waiver wire (someone waived him), and people are after my other QB Jay Cutler. Which of these deals is best:

My Roster is (Dressing 1 QB, 1 RB, 1 WR, 1 RB/WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 Def):
QB Jay Cutler/Kyle Orton
RB Joseph Addai/Dominic Rhodes/Jonathan Stewart
WR Brandon Marshall/Laverneous Coles
TE Tony Gonzales
K Nate Kaeding
DEF NY Giants

Standard Scoring.

Which deal is best for me?

Jay Cutler for Marshawn Lynch
Jay Cutler for Matt Forte
Jay Cutler for Trent Edwards & Willie Parker
Jay Cutler for Trent Edwards & Willis McGahee

I'm thinking I take Matt Forte, but Marshawn Schedule is easier. Willie Parker is nice too, but I'm a little worried about his injury.

Thanks in advance for all your help.
Cheers

Since you start so few players if's about having the best players at those posiitions to start. I don't know if I'd want to count on Orton as my starting QB week in and week out but if you could get Lynch for Cutler you'd prolly have to do it. If not, I'd stick with what you have or work another deal. I don't think I'd do any of the other ones. Depends on your league settings as well.

Forte, easily if receptions count as points.

Well, this is how the deal has morphed:

Jay Cutler and Jonathan Stewart for Marshawn Lynch and Brett Farve.

Would you guys move on this deal (I'm trading Cutler & Stewart)? or should I insist on Forte?

I would rather have Forte/Orton than Lynch/Favre i think.
