Colts/Saints (VETOED 2-4)

[Colts GM (Ben)]

Colts trade:
RB Royce Freeman (DEN) $0.8/$1.2/$1.6/$2
WR Jordy Nelson (OAK) $4.75
Pittsburgh 2019 second round pick
CB Nick Nelson (OAK) $0.4/$0.6/$0.8/$1

Saints trade:
RB Le'Veon Bell (PIT) $3.5/$12.5
WR Emmanuel Sanders (DEN) $5.3/$10.11/$10.11

Colts accept. I'm 4-0 while the Saints are 0-4. I take on $20M+ next season that the Saints will now have free, and he trades in a short-term RB solution (on the tag) for a long-term RB solution. I imagine the Pittsburgh pick will be a high second as well.

Saints accept. I traded for Le'Veon thinking I could use him for my rebuild but so far he has been a holdout and may not be worth the stash. This deal gives me another workhorse running back who is younger and on a cheaper deal plus other assests to build toward the future.

Cut K Randy Bullock to make this deal legal.

I think NOS could've got more but overall it helps both teams... Indy has Melvin Gordon, Todd Gurley, and Bell. woah.

1-0

[Commanders GM (Kevin)]

Yea I can pass this one, yes NO is getting a cheap young RB but he doesn't even look like the best RB on his team right now, Lindsay looks better, and Sanders is a better WR with a better future than Jordy. Doesn't seem nearly enough for a decent WR upgrade and a huge RB upgrade to add a 2nd and an ok CB. This deal is extremely lopsided

Bell >>> than Freeman
Sanders > Jordy
These 2 throw ins don't nearly make up the difference to me

Veto 1-1

I have to Veto this deal.

This is not me crying over spilled milk but my deal got vetoed and I feel I was giving up a boatload.

I hate vetoing any deal but I don't see any way around this one. Here is why I am so against this deal.

The way I look at it is Bell (even on a FT) is so far and away a better RB than Freeman who is in a timeshare split 2 sometimes 3 ways, they're not even comparable. So then I break the trade down like this:

Royce Freeman for Sanders. I would say that is a wash or an even trade.

Then I get to the Bell portion of the deal and say is washed Jordy Nelson on a crappy team and a one year deal + a second even if it is Pittsburgh's and a CB who gets no playing time as of yet worth Bell...even if he is on a Franchise Tag? The answer is no. No way I cut it can I say it is.

[Cardinals GM (Tony)]

I thought about this. I wanted to get to an approve, but I can't. Yeah, Le'Veon is holding out - but you're already taking it on the chin there. Royce, on the other hand, was a "breakout rookie" by many standards, and couldn't beat out Philip Lindsay. Do I think he's a bust? No. But he's not really giving you much more at this point than a warm body (which, sure, has value if you're being competitive). The fact that you're involved in a rebuild gives you the opportunity to wait on Bell more than a team that needs him immediately would. And, like the others, I don't believe that the extra pieces here make up the difference - I think the best pieces go to the Colts, and the end of it becomes quantity over quality.

Veto

[Chargers GM (Greg)]

While I can see the logic that went into crafting this trade with the giant shift in cap space to IND in exchange for a significant upgrade at RB & WR....it's just too lopsided to approve.

Plus, I honestly don't think it's in the best interest of the league to continue to create superpower teams. We've experienced that with the Cowboys and I believe this trade will do the same for the Colts. That said, any GM should have an opportunity to acquire and accumulate top talent. But acquiring top talent like Bell and Sanders for a Power Team must come at a fair if not overvalue price. That's the only way we keep the playing field level for all of the teams.

Sorry guys, but I've got to veto this one. (1-4)
