Sweet, good deal Caecius. I'm happy, you're happy, we're all happy.
Here's the trade for those interested:
Me:
Drew Brees
Frank Gore
Nate Burleson
Caecius:
Matt Ryan
Cedric Benson
Felix Jones
I find it interesting I wasn't the only one who thought Burleson would have a nice season. He was ripping it up in that game until he got cramps. I think he'll have a great season stealing catches from Megatron who will probably be quadrupple covered by seasons end.
I didn't like getting rid of Gore because he's such an all around back. He rushes a lot and receives a lot too, but getting equal value for him and some depth was worth it. Hopefully the Cowboy's o-line can become a strong running force so Felix can get some more touchdowns.
Knowing my luck, Brees is going to have a record setting season and score like 50+ points a game and I'll hate myself for trading him, but I needed to bolster my roster. Having only two running backs was just sad.
