Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow Vs. Antonio Gates and Plex Burrues?

Question

Recently I traded Winslow and Edwards for Gates and Burrues....everyone in my fantasy leauge are complaining thinking its a scam and a cheat and that I'm getting a rip but honestly tell me if you think this is a bad trade. Gates #1 TE for Winslow around a #4 TE for Edwards #3 WR for Burrues a #12 WR.....

Answer 1

Winslow and Edwards are better than Gates and Burress. But its not to far off if i saw this i would right away say whoever got winslow and edwards got the better end of the deal however its not lopsided.

Answer 2

You probably made a bad deal in this trade, unless you were just trying to get some of your favorite players.

Winslow and Gates are very close in value, they are both at the top of the tight end class.  I would value Winslow slightly higher, but overall this part of the deal is pretty even.

Edwards is a much higher value receiver than Burress.  They may end up having a similar number of touchdowns, (around 12-13) but Edwards is the Go-to receiver in the browns offense which is very pass-heavy.  Burress is more of a hail mary receiver and red zone target.  Edwards will end up with twice as many total yards as Burress.  

So it seems like overall you ended up getting the bad end of this deal as both of the players you traded were higher value than the players you got in return.

Answer 3

I would have kept Winslow and Edwards

Gates and Winslow are pretty close, alot of ppl actually think Winslow will be better than Gates this year.

I think Edwards is far better than Burress, which is probably why everyone in your league is thinking this is a scam.

You probably could have got a better WR than Burress in this deal

Answer 4

I would not have made the trade....but if the league vetoed it you can challenge it with the commissioner of your league.  Sometimes the guys that veto do not look at the total logic of the trade.
