Trading Post: Open for Business!

Clean off the counter tops, crack open the windows, and pull up a chair, cause we are open for business for 2011.

Two trades pending.

Kolb & Walter (Cow) for Steven Jackson (Hooligans) - also drops Murphy.

Henne & Alexander (Hitters) for Brandon Tate (Takers) - also drops Jackson.

I think I missed a previous trade.

Pitch sent the Minnesota Defense to Jimmy for RB C.J. Spiller

That trade has been completed. We have a pending trade as well.

AD sends RB Ronnie Brown, RB Ricky Williams, and WR Wes Welker to Randy for RB Ryan Mathews and QB Michael Vick.

Just a reminder (again) the trade deadline is November 12th. That's next Friday.

Trading Post

Four new pending trades, as activity continues at a record pace.

Chavez sends RB Thomas Jones & TE Heath Miller to Thomas for RB Cedric Benson & TE Dustin Keller

Jimmy sends QB Chad Henne & WR Devonne Bess to Thomas for WR DeSean Jackson & RB C.J. Spiller

Dustin sends WR Jacoby Jones to Thomas for WR Malcom Floyd

AD sends TE Kellen Winslow to Kurt for RB Ronnie Brown

This is the first trade of the year for Chavez, It's Jimmy's 3rd, Kurt's 2nd, My 4th, Thomas's 4th, 5th, and 6th, and Dustin's 7th. Which, as we recently learned, is a record for most trades by a single team in a season.

*UPDATE* all trades completed

Trading Post.

After learning of TE Finley's knee injury, Dustin has been burning up the trade talks attempting to acquire a high quality replacement. Look's like he has done it. If the trade makes it through the veto process, it will be Dustin's 6th and Randy's 2nd trade of the year.

Pending Trade: Dustin sends WR Marques Colston to Randy for TE Jason Witten.

Interesting inter-divisional trade, both teams are 4-2.

*UPDATE* Trade completed.

Trading Post is still active...

There have been 9 trades so far. So yes, very active year to this point. I wonder if trade activity has been, and will continue to be, spurred on by the number of teams and lack of viable free agents in the free agent pool. If so, that's an unexpected and unintended, yet exciting and satisfying, consequence of expanding the league.

Pending Trade - Jimmy sends Steve Smith WR NYG to Chad for Felix Jones RB DAL

Again, I wont discuss the wisdom here (thank you President Obama) but that's what the comments section is for.

Chouteau Trading Post - 1st Edition

Holy Cow!!! The doors are open for business. Three trades are pending as of this moment.

Trade #1 - (Cow) Andre Johnson & Jerome Harrison for (AD) Eddie Royal & Dwayne Bowe

Trade #2 - (Pitch) Randy Moss & Percy Harvin for (Jimmy) Ray Rice & Mike Williams (TB)

Trade #3 - (Cow) Greg Jennings & Santonio Holmes for (Randy) Larry Fitzgerald (Matt Cassel dropped)

I'll let you all decide for yourself concerning the values of the trades. But, I think it can be said, week 5 has kicked off with a bang.

For anyone who may not be aware, for trades to go through for Sunday's game, they must be accepted by Friday night. They'll be pending for one full day, Saturday. Waiver wire time for players dropped is two full days.


*** UPDATE ***

Trade #1, 2, and 3 are completed.
