  Thoughts on this contract trade. Regardless of line-up, which set of players would you rather have (note: TEs are WRs in this league, and freeing up cap space has it's benefits down the road)
  
  Spiller ($66/3yr)
  Cook ($4/3yr)
  Pead ($3/2yr) = $73
  
  Or

  
  Lamar Miller ($18/3yr)
  McFadden ($22/3yr)
  Gordon ($14/3) = $54

  I personally like the Spiller side. I love Lamar Miller but I'm not as high on DMac and I'm not in love with Gordon's QB situation.

  I like the miller side. To me that is the side with 3 legit players. Pead could develop into something, but he hasn't yet and its crowded in St. Louis.

  Tough one, I'd probably go Miller, McFadden and Gordon purely for the fact that Pead isn't guaranteed to start. But you are taking a chance on DMC keeping healthy and Gordon staying off the ching.

  QB: Romo, Palmer, A.Smith
  RB: ADP, Rice, Bradshaw, Starks, Jacobs, Todman, Wood, L.Murray
  WR: Amendola, Hopkins, T.Williams, Pettis, Burleson, Alexander, LaFell, Thompson, Easley, Ford, Binns, Jernigan, Shepard
  TE: Cameron, Z.Miller (SEA), Winslow, Meoaki, Stocker
  K: Carpenter, Nugent, Tucker
  DST: BUF, SDC

  Tough. Its basically Spiller vs Miller\Dmac\Gordon for me. Id take Miller at $50 cheaper.

  Love Spiller but the contacts on the Miller side are really good plus Cook is nullified by him being a WR. Give me Miller side.

  I took the Miller side, so the roster now looks like this ($250 cap):

  
  

  QB: Cam Newton ($39/3yrs)

  RB1: Trent Richardson ($66/3yrs)

  RB2: Lamar Miller ($18//3yrs)

  WR1: Julio Jones (51)

  WR2: Kenny Britt ($4/3yrs)

  WR3: Josh Gordon ($16/3yrs)

  Bench: Darren McFadden ($22/3yrs)

  
  

  Practice Squad

  - Christine Michael ($1/3yrs starting 2014)

  - Bernard Pierce ($3/3yrs starting 2014)

  
  

  *no tight end required in this league

  Now I just need to trade McFadden and Gordon or McFadden and Britt, or all three, for a top WR. Already tried AJ Green, which was rejected. If I can't get Calvin, or Dez, I'll try a McFadden for a Fitz, or hold this roster heading into Week 1. I'm fine not making another move, but another WR1 upgrade would put it well over the top is all.

  Offer just sent to me, the contract yrs aren't announced yet, but I'll guess:
  
  Demaryius Thomas (39/3yrs)
  Ty Hilton ($11/3yrs)
  For
  Darren McFadden ($22/3yrs)
  Kenny Britt ($4/3yrs)
  
  Note: our cap is $300 and $24 extra cap could be used next off season.
  
  AFTER
  
  QB: Cam Newton ($39/3yrs)
  RB1: Trent Richardson ($66/3yrs)
  RB2: Lamar Miller ($18//3yrs)
  WR1: Julio Jones (51)
  WR2: DeMaryius Thomas (39/3yrs)
  WR3: TY Hilton ($11/3yrs)/Josh Gordon ($16/3yrs)
  
  BEFORE
  
  QB: Cam Newton ($39/3yrs)
  RB1: Trent Richardson ($66/3yrs)
  RB2: Lamar Miller ($18//3yrs)
  WR1: Julio Jones (51)
  WR2: Kenny Britt ($4/3yrs)
  WR3: Josh Gordon ($16/3yrs)
  Bench: Darren McFadden ($22/3yrs)
  
  Notes:
  
  I usuall avoid DT, but considering the money saves on my other deals above, I almost feel I've limited the risk.
  
  Also, this is a big play bonus format, with somewhat standard Ppr scoring, but with bonuses on big TDs
  
  Thoughts?
  
  Screw worrying about 26 extra cap bucks and lock this team down for three years, or roll with the BEFORE lineup ?

  I'm on record doubting Demaryius, but as my 5th best guy, despite the bigger contract, it's tough passing this up. Plus I have better trade bait.

  I did. I never thought Id buy DT in a keeper, but after some trades it was like free cap money. Plus, his trade value is excellent, potential trades is where I'm headed next with him, but as my 4th or 5th best player post auction, the risk is minimized tremendously for me. He still worries me, but no denying his talent.
