Romo Trade

[Jasen777]

Ok, probably no one cares, but I'm excited about the trade I just made for Romo. It's a not that competitive 10-team public yahoo league. I'm tied for first, my team is stacked accept at QB. I've been stuck with a Griese/Rivers platoon (QB is the one position where there hasn't been good people to pick up off waivers). The team I traded with is the one that's tied for first with me.


Get: Romo, Kevin Walter (placeholder)

Give: Barber, Holt.


This trade might not be good in every circumstance but it's great for me. My QB's have averaged 8 points a game and have only won 1 out of 10 match-ups (my platoon switching has been bad), whereas Romo is averaging 21 points a game. Losing Barber doesn't hurt me, he's my third running back (and I've got Young and Chatmen on the bench). Losing Holy may hurt a little, but hopefully Branch or Henry will work out (and there's a couple decent WR's still available as free agents in the league).

For him, losing Romo doesn't hurt because he has Palmer who he prefers over Romo. However, with Johnson coming back having Holt is at best a slight upgrade at his WR3 over Galloway. Likewise, Barber is only a slight upgrade at his RB2.

Before he had been offering me Romo for Addai. I turned that down because although it might help me a little, it would have helped him alot more (if Palmer stays healthy he'd basically be getting Addai for free). And that wouldn't have been smart since there's a good chance we'll meet in the playoffs.
