Been working the phones and we have a trade! Within the division to, how exciting!

Jaguars Receive:
HB RJ Jackson
CB Will Blackmon

Titans Receive:
HB Marshawn Lynch
Jaguars 2nd Round pick

Jackson would obviously have to be a sign and trade given he's going to be a free agent.

Counter offer

Titans 4th round pick
Titans 5th round
Will Blackmon

For

Marshawn Lynch
And jags 2nd round pick

If he doesn't want it we end trade negotiations and get on with the rest of the preseason and not waste anymore time

@KCF0107 @MysteriousStan

I would accept that offer

I don't think that offer is going to fly by the league either with how lopsided it is unless R.J. Jackson was supposed to be on there.

Uh, if you guys can be patient, I think I can come up with an offer you both will like, but I will have to be creative so the league likes it as well.

It will be a three-team trade.
---

Yeah the first trade was much better than the 2nd imo. If RJ was on there I'd be okay with it.

This is really neat.
---

Yeah I hope some other people find it useful.

If anyone has any suggestions for it, I'd be willing to implement them as long as they aren't too time consuming.

Ah, yeah, I missed that earlier. That is pretty cool. Thanks, Shattered.

Hopefully, I will force myself to sit down and answer PMs/ask KCF questions about my UFAs tonight.

Yeah, thanks man this is really cool
---

For some reason I can't get my own sheet to load on mobile despite it working fine with mobile previously. Fuck knows what the problem is. It just permanently spins despite being not even that big in size.

Also can't wait to finalize a blockbuster trade at some point this week

Okay, I am back and ready to send out another dozen or so PMs.
---

Really appreciate it commish
---

All PMs should have been sent, so I am officially caught up (I think)
---

I literally just sent you another in response. Sorry! But it's not super important and I think it's a simple no as an answer

Trade to announce

Ravens Receive
Steelers 2nd Round Pick (Pick 9)
DT Jared Odrick (77 - 25yo - 1st round pick last season)
C David Carter (76 - 26yo - on RFA Deal)

Steelers Receive
DT Randy Starks (88 - 30yo)

Other factors to consider. Ravens are already over the cap pre-draft. This frees up I think about ~4.6-4.7m of cap space for them assuming they cut their existing back-up Center.

Another trade to announce (at least I'm pretty certain KCF is still up for it)

Dolphins receive
MLB James Laurinaitis (90 - 26yo)
LG Larry Warford (78 - 24yo)
LE Scott Harrell (76 - 25yo)

Pioneers receive
LT Eric Winston (89 - 31yo)

Steelers receive
RT Kwame Harris (98 - 32yo)
C Andy Levitre (87 - 28yo)
SS J.J. Wilcox (83 - 25yo)
LE Lamarr Woodley (82 - 29yo)

Warford and Harrell are 2nd and 3rd round picks from last season. So along with the Ravens trade, that means I've moved on from every draft pick from last year except one (a 74 backup OLB)

I confirm this trade and that the AI agrees to it
---

There's also some slight irony in me trading to acquire J.J. Wilcox when the Steelers released him IRL yesterday I think

Hoping one of these deals did not in anyway hinge on the Bills' response to a certain PM. Especially since I had to type the response to that PM up 3 different times. >_>

Nah it didn't at all. The player I spoke to you about I was acquiring anyway. He's on a great contract for this year and I just saw you had a big need there

I forget, is there typically much if any of a rating drop when switching a guy from MLB to OLB or vice versa?
---

There's a pretty significant difference between the 2 positions I think. At least when I drafted Tufts as a 75 MLB, he jumped to a 82 OLB when I converted him

Does anyone remember if theres a decent ratings drop when switching someone from C to G and such?

Also I confirm our trade
---

Remember that you get one position switch a season that isn't a simple left-to-right, or vice-versa for DEs, OLBs, OTs, and Gs.

Regarding instances that aren't that, there is no hard rule for rating changes. A MLB might see a rise, drop, or no change when becoming an OLB and that applies to most positions. That being said, I will say that Gs to Cs and vice versa typically results in no rating changes.
---

Also, only three teams have fully done their UFAs thus far with the Dolphins I think the only one to have them partially finished.
---

Massive three-team trade!

Jaguars receive:
Titans HB R.J. Jackson
Titans CB Will Blackmon
Dolphins RE Barry Turner
Dolphins DT Billy Walker
Steelers 4th round pick (via Dolphins)
Dolphins 7th round pick

Titans receive:
Jaguars HB Marshawn Lynch
Dolphins MLB Brian Cushing
Browns 3rd round pick (via Dolphins)
Dolphins 4th round pick

Dolphins receive:
Buccaneers 2nd round pick (via Titans)
Jaguars 2nd + 3rd round picks

This trade is up for 24 hour peer review and Sultan and Stan need to confirm.

Busy trade day! I'm pretty sure that this is the largest trade ever in terms of amount of items involved
---

Also, while I don't see myself making two more AI trades over this season, are we counting my three-way with the Pioneers an AI trade for me even though I am neither receiving from nor giving anything to the Pioneers?

Personally, I think that only the Steelers should be on the hook for that and while I totally have the power to make a judgment myself, I will consult with the league on their thoughts.
---

Confirming massive trade

I think I should only be on the hook for that as that could have been done completely in isolation and posted as 2 separate trades. It was only posted as a 3 way because I needed to be sure I could offload Winston otherwise I wasn't doing it

I'm fine with just counting it as shattered's ai trade
---

three active trades with a combined 25 pieces involved!
---

And amazingly zero complaints about said trades yet!

I've got mine pretty much squared away but I'm trying to work some stuff out. If we have that much time, I might as well use it, right?

Edit: Also let it be known I'm interested in trading for a backup SS, I have 2 3rd rd picks, 9th and 26th.
---

I wasn't complaining, just reminding people. I've had many people say before regarding off-season stuff and award ballots that because they had so much time, they put it off their duties for later only to forget to do anything in the end.
---

I'm basically waiting on trades to see what sort of cap room I have to work with. I think if I sign everyone I want to I'll have about 11-13m of space and 6 holes with 2 players on the fence about resigning. But it is very possible I have woefully miscalculated on some of those expected cap hits too

Since we've got all these newfangled complex trades going on, how about a simpler one?

Titans receive:
Panthers 3rd rd pick (my own, not the early one from the steelers)

Panthers receive:
SS Japhus Brown (78 overall, 30 y/o)
Titans 6th rd pick
---

Confirming simple trade

First Hass, now Brown. Fellow Top 5 Titan picks Kirby Freeman and Chris Long are on alert!
---

Also, Japhus Brown is not under contract so you need to inform me of what I will be signing him too should this pass peer review.
---

I assume taht is at stan and not me? As I was under the impression that players traded in sign-and-trades are signed by the current owner and then traded away, IE I wouldn't be responsible for guaranteed money by receiving brown
---

All of that is true
---

Steelers/Ravens and Dolphins/Pioneers/Steelers trades are official
---

RIP Dolphins free agency splurge of S4
---

the 49ers are eager to get in on the tradapaloozas, open to hearing out anything!
---

Also salty that I have like top 5 for everything (except one that was still top 10) in that compiled list yet we still havent gotten our super bowl try. I am still trying to figure it out, I am not sure if it was just injuries last season or what. Our defense was doing well, our skill positions are doing well. So.... What is it I am missing
---

Ultimately, this comes down to how much the RNG favors you. Despite owning the #6 offense and #4 defense, luck was not on your side.

Also I might send you a trade offer over the course of the next week.
---

Jags/Titans/Dolphins trade is official. Updated spreadsheet should sync up within the next 15 hours.

Probably a similar reason to me having an O-line of 92-90-95-91-89 last year and them performing like absolute garbage and putting in the worst stats I've ever had at O-line.

Would like to throw out there that WR Keary Colbert (90 OVR, 32 years old) could possibly be had in a trade. Wouldn't necessarily say he's on the block but I'd listen to offers. Would mainly be looking for defense (especially OLB and DE).
