Pre-Season trades are not reviewed
The New Jersey Crew Gets:

RB- Arian Foster
*****

The OBX BlahBlah Favre Lovers Get:

DL- Jared Allen
DB- LaRon Landry
*********************************************************************

Offensive Outlook

This is about as tough a deal as we have had to review in a LONG time.  For NJ, they needed
some help at RB and Foster looks like he could be the breakout star of the year.  Only trouble is
he hasn't really done anything at all yet and could always end up a bust.

For OBX, they still have Adrian and Jamaal at RB so all is well there.  Allen and LeRon are proven
fantasy producers and will help the OBX D a lot.  We always tout a top D as being mandatory for a
Title Run (Look at Denver last year)....but is losing a potential top 10 RB worth it?

The Final Grade

>>>Crew: ++ (Foster looks like a GREAT pickup)
>>>FavreRules: + (Didn;t get worse..but may not have gotten full value for Foster.)
***9-9-10***
The Chicago Criminals Get:

QB- Matt Ryan
RB- Ronald Brown
RB- Felix Jones
LB- Bobby Carpenter
*****

The Baltiwash Ravskins Get:

QB- Josh Freeman
RB- Steven Jackson
LB- London Fletcher
*********************************************************************

Offensive Outlook

Well, the Criminals didn't really need another QB with Romo already there.  And...Brown and felix
are now their top RBs.  Carpenter has been released.  Um, this makes little sense at all. Felix and
Brown are good, but both are splitting time...or worse.

The Ravskins on the other hand get a STUD to compliment Mendenhall.  London is also a big
addition to their D.  Freeman is of course the linchpin in the deal.   Not.

The Final Grade

>>>Criminals: -- (We don;t get to say it often...or EVER...but Dan lost this one huge.  ....Maybe
he's looking toward next year?)
>>>Skins: + (Jackson is a stud and losing Ryan didn't kill em)
***9-9-10***
***11-11-10***
The New Jersey Crew Gets:

WR- Austin Collie
LB- Paul Posluszny
*****

The Fort Worth Street Sharks Get:

RB- Ryan Grant
WR- Golden Tate
*********************************************************************

Offensive Outlook

Golden Tate...ROY.  thats what Cole said in early Sept.  Sure Tim, sure.  At least he has woken
up and dealt the bum!!  As for Grant, he won't help at all this year but, The Sharks aren't going
anywhere this year.  Nice add for next season.

As for Cole, he gets Collie.  Not a stud by any means but a useful WR none-the-less.  And WAY
better than Tate!

The Offensive Grade

>>>Crew: even (Lost two offensive players..and Grant could hurt worse come next year)
>>>Sharks: + (Good move for next year)
*******************************************************************

Defensive Outlook

Posluszny has never been able to stay healthy for a season, but when he IS in there he is one of
the better LBs in the league hands down.

The Defensive Grade

>>>Crew: + (Didn;t lose anyone on D, and got a very nice LB)
>>>Sharks: - (They lose Paul and didn't have anyone to really replace him)
*****************************************************************

The Final Grade

>>>Crew: even (Lost Grant which hurts...but not yet)
>>>Gringos: even (Got Grant which helps..but not yet)
