Dallas Cowboys Trade Block

Paully D

Here's the player(s) I'm putting on the trade block:

Chinedum Ndukwe - 78 - SS - Pot B - Speed 85, Acceleration 85, Jumping 90

My needs/areas I would to improve on, in order of most needed to least needed, are:

FS
SS

Feel free to propose trades involving other players, but obviously the likes of Manning, Ngata and Larry Fitz will be going nowhere.

Cheers lads!

Jame Harrison ROLB 97 for your 93 CB?

matthew8

I don't see a potential trade but a word of warning for the Cowboys. I think London Fletcher retires this year so you may want to add MLB to needs.

Sounds interesting.

However, I want to wait until after the progressions before doing anything as I'll need to see how my one of my rookie CB's progress because if they don't do anything I'll either need to keep Williams, or get another CB in as part of a trade I do.

I'm not guaranteeing anything but if the progressions go as I think they will then I may come back to that deal you've proposed mate, but feel free to sort something out with someone else if they offer you a deal that they're willing to do right now for Harrison, because the progressions might not go as I expect, I might change my mind in the future, or someone may offer me a better deal.

Cheers for that. I was thinking I'd be very lucky to get another season out of him. That's unfortunate as he's been excellent for me.

Paully, I'd like to propose something

Williams
for

AC O'Neal, a rookie this year but will advance to 80 i would imagine.
JD Walton C will go to over 80 with progression
Atari Bigby SS doesnt see much gametime with Wilson in front of him.

I like the look of this mate. We can talk more after the progressions

No worries Heli, there's no guarantees I will trade him though as like I said I'm pretty happy with my team as it is.

I'm the type of head coach that could easily go through the whole trade period without even doing one deal :pac:

I'm just holding out for progressions now to see how the ratings go.

helimachoptor

That's fine paully O Neals progression will help me at cb so it won't such a problem position at that point anyway

Trade Block Updated:

Now that I've had a bit more time today to have a look through the statistics etc, I've decided to update my trade block.

My major need is a MLB as London Fletcher unfortunately retires at the end of this season (according to the internet and a few other people) so that leaves a big hole for me.

I've decided to stick with Studdard as C for next season as he's done well and there's no real need for me to change it, the same goes for Bullitt at SS.

So my major need is at MLB, and I would like to see what sort of opportunities arise to improve the LOLB, FS and ROLB positions.

As I said in the OP:

Ideally I'd like to trade Heath Miller first and foremost in a straight swap for a MLB rated in the high 80's or more.

Tramon Williams is one of the top 3 best rated players on my whole roster (behind Peyton Manning and Larry Fitz only), so if I trade him I need a playable replacement to come in along with at least another half decent player in the positions listed above, or the other way around.

Thanks lads!

helimachoptor

Paully I may rejig my offer above as you are set at centre, have my game face on now but will be back after the colts game with something

empacher

straight swap would leave me a bit down, Harrsison for Miller and draft pick? or maybe James Harrison 97 and antoine winfield CB 88 and Brad Mester C 85 for Miller 89 and Tramon Williams 93 and a first round draft pick?

matthew8

Do you want Abram Elam?

SantryRed

I'm interested in your DT Mebane. I've got Jackson MLB rated 83. Interested?

After looking into it a bit further I'd be slightly worried about Harrison with his age and the fact he could easily regress during the progressions, or retire before our online franchise wraps up for Madden 13 if we get to play 2 more seasons after this one.

You're right in fairness a straight swap for Miller would leave you a bit down, but I definitely don't want to start trading 3 players each way in a deal.

What rating is Nick Barnett overall? He's listed as an 88 on League Manager and I might consider a straight swap for Miller with him if I can't sort something else.

I'll see if anything else develops with other clubs and if not I may be back to you mate.

SantryRed

Or Miller for Jackson?

empacher

He' an 88, Biggest strength is stopping the run. He was top 5 tackles 2 seasons ago. Would leave my top rated run defense a little shallow but that's the price I'll have to pay.

No thanks mate. Apart from being 1 better overall I don't see anything in him that's an improvement on my current FS, Zbikowski.

SantryRed wrote: »

Definitely won't give up Mebane mate, he was a beast for me last season. If you're looking for a DT for your MLB Jackson I'd trade Pouha for him?

SantryRed

I think the ship has sailed on getting Gate so would you be interested in Miller for Jackson?

Paully D

SantryRed wrote: »

Unfortunately not mate. I think Empacher would do Heath Miller for his MLB Barnett (88 OVR) so I'd definitely go for that over Jackson if I do trade.

SantryRed

I could throw in a replacement TE and you your 2nd round draft pick?

Any interest in a straight trade of Heath Miller for Brian Orakpo?

helimachoptor

Paully what would you want for Nelson TE?

Paully D

Don't want to trade him at all to be honest Heli.

My plan is to trade Miller to upgrade the linebacker position and then use Nelson as my starting TE.

helimachoptor

Ok no worries man, looking for a back up TE for Finley, the search continues!

Unfortunately not mate. Can't let Orakpo go. I could offer you my 2nd and Jackson for Miller?

I've done a deal with the Eagles involving Miller and Williams mate, so those are off my trade block now.

Paully D

Update:

Heath Miller and Tramon Williams are part of an agreed trade so they've been taken off my trade block.

Still kind of looking for a FS or a SS but there's not a massive need there for me so it would have to be a very good deal for me to do something.

I'd imagine that the trade I've done with the Eagles will likely conclude me contacting other teams for this off-season as I've filled my major needs now, but as always I'll listen to any proposal if someone thinks there's a deal that could be done.

Cheers.

He's actually not as good as my current SS, Bullitt. I'd be looking for someone around 85 OVR.

Thanks anyway mate

Will come back to you tomorrow after progressions if that's OK mate? Would have an interest in Pat Chung either.

What would you be looking at to trade either of those, just so I know what you're after?

Cheers.

Yeah both guy are available, only going to keep one of them.
After a good CB, would do an upgrade swap for Franklin maybe. Brooks Reed interest me, or a first round pick.

Have a couple of good backup RB's available as well to balance out a trade, saw you're a bit thin there at the moment

Paully D

I'm interested in a 3-4 LE if anyone has one available.

I can include Idonjie LE OVR 82 in any deal. He's 6 foot 6 and 270 with excellent block shedding and power moves, more suited to a 4-3 though IMO.

Looking for someone a bit bigger (fatter :pac:) to fill more space.

If you think you have someone I'd be interested in then please propose something.

Cheers

helimachoptor

Paully, you fancy taking Merling RE he's 6'4 and 295 lbs.
for
Nicholas LOLB?

Why do i feel we've had this conversation before :pac:

Nicholas again :pac:

AC O'Neal is the man I want for Nicholas

I've had a brainwave of putting Pouha in at LE and he'd work a bit better than Merling there for me.

Ok you drive a hard bargain Paully, you have a deal.

Do you want to propose on LM and I'll accept after the draft?

Brilliant mate. Yep, I'll propose it now.

Pleasure doing business with you!

helimachoptor

Thanks Paully, will accept post draft.

Paully D

Updated trade block:

Israel Idonije - LE - 6 foot 6, 270 pounds - B POT - OVR 82 - Block shedding 88, power moves 87, acceleration 85

A quick LE who can slip blocks and get to the QB easily, but he's not wide enough to play LE in my 3-4. Perfect acquisition for a team that plays 4-3 and needs someone quick that can beat blocks.

Sione Pouha - DT - 6 foot 3, 325 pounds - B POT - OVR 81 - Strength 92, Block shedding 86, tackle 86

A human wrecking ball but behind Mebane in my pecking order as a DT. I'll probably move him to LE in my 3-4 D if I can't get a trade done but as of now he's on the block.

Chinedum Ndukwe - SS - Pot B - OVR 79 - Speed 85, Acceleration 85, Jumping 90

Very fast SS who is a big asset on blitz plays and is very good at swatting the ball down. Doesn't really see a lot of game time for me as he's behind Bullitt on the depth chart but will definitely do a job as a starter for someone.

All my other back up players are available if someone wants to fill their depth chart.

I'm looking for:

TE - Ideally I'd like a quick player here who can catch and is a decent run blocker

LE - Over 300 pounds with similar key stats to Idonjie would be ideal.

FS - Looking for a speedster with better awareness (71), play recognition (73) and catching (58) skills than my current FS Zibikowski.

Cheers

Paully would be interested in pouha, Not at a computer but can offer any of my fs's if they meet your needs, can you give a back up DT aswell I case of injury!

Sorry Heli, none of your free safety's are as good as my Zibikowski.

The only player on your roster now that really interests me is your SS Wilson, but I doubt you'd be willing to part with him.

What I could offer and try to tempt you with is Pouha + SS Ndukwe for Wilson? You'd get Pouha and a starter replacement at the SS position.

Any interest?

helimachoptor

Not really paully, the downgrade at SS is too great to be offset by the rise at DT. Never mind the rating but Wilson is a turnover machine. Could Do ndukwe and mebane for Wilson though

matthew8

Paully Ryan Pickett is a decent 3-4 LE, do you want him?

EDIT: His acceleration is 78, good for an end but not quite 85, power moves 84 and block shedding 87. He's 79 in player management but 83 or so in the more accurate depth chart which I can't seem to access.

No worries mate, was worth a try I wouldn't have any interest in trading Mebane to be honest.
