Good Trade or Bad Trade?

**jiggidy** · 10-21-2009, 10:30 AM

The trade is already made. I just want to know if you think it is good or bad.

I traded R. Mendenhall for A. Boldin.

I needed major help at the WR position and Boldin will be a huge help for me. My starters now look like this:

M. Ryan
D. Williams
F. Gore
A. Boldin
B. Marshall
D. Hester
C. Cooley
Kicker varies by week
PHI D

Mendenhall was just going to sit on my bench anyways with Gore coming back. I think it is pretty fair and hopefully Boldin puts up huge numbers from this point on.

Not a bad trade. Unfortunately, don't be surprised if you don't get much out of Boldin. Hard to get excited about only 306 yards receiving and 1 TD. However, I could see him pulling back this week against the Giants. I mean, you saw what Brees and company did last week against the Giants.

Boldin has been one of my biggest disappointments this season. However, since you've got Gore back and DWill playing hot, in terms of your team, it was a great trade. Congrats!

Good trade...you needed a good WR, you had an extra RB, you made a good move to address your needs.

Isn't A. Boldin injuried? B. Marshall is on a bye this week.

yea Boldin has a high ankle sprain. He said he expects to play this week though. Even if he doesnt play this week I needed a good WR for down the stretch. I also picked up Crabtree and have the awful TO chillin on my bench.

Despite how poor Boldin has played this year I like his chances to bounce back. I think for Mendenhall, Boldin was about as good as I am going to get in a trade. Especially with Willie Parker getting closer to 100%. Even if D. Will or Gore goes down I have Jonathan Stewart and Tashard Choice on my bench to fill in.

Solid trade. Hopefully Gore stays healthy or it could come back and bite you. Stewart is finally stepping it up though so he might be a good fill in if needed

Parker is coming back, but will be behind Mendenhall now. If Crabtree steps it up, you could possibly dangle him or Boldin as trade bait as well
