who are your other backs?
He mentioned Westbrook, Gore, and Lendale White.
that would make me more inclined to hold onto westbrook.
gore is nice, but tends to be middle of the road on points. white is meh.
you can't trade westbrook unless your getting a good back in return + value.
the romo- westbrook trade is ok on brady, but steve smith is suspended for 4 games. lewis is a 3rd down back at the moment, and doesnt hit long homeruns (i.e 70 yard TD screen passes) like westbrook does.
I would not do that trade.
Smith is only suspended for 2 games.
And Lewis is their starting RB. I dont want him on my fantasy team, but he did rush for 1300 yards, 9 tds, with 250 more yards recieving and 2 tds last year. He had a much better season last year then his last couple...
ok, my fault its 2 games. but what, exactly are you upgrading with this trade?
you are losing the NFL's leading rusher and yards from scrimmage back. a number one option in his offense.
You are upgrading at QB, certainly, but its not like romo is trash.
and in return you get a WR (who are hit and miss in fantasy, not worth half of what a RB is.) who will only play 14 games at best.
you get a RB who had one decent year after two horrid ones, and doesnt get as many carries.
so your essential giving this guy one of the elite backs, taking back a meh one, and slightly upgrading your QB. why would you do this?
westbrook should not be part of any deal you make. he's to valuable. he's far more valuable than anything your getting back in either of those trades.
if you could do it for gore, mabey, white, defintly.
westbrook? no way.
