ECC Fantasy Football

So I'm going to posting all trades and acquisitions mades, and also throw in some rumors! It'll make the league a little more interesting and fun to follow.

Rumor: Sources claim that Team reppucci is attempting to trade away first round pick Le'Veon Bell. While it is unclear what teams are interested and what Team reppucci is looking for, but it seems they are making a strong push to dump the star running back. The Leddlemiesters might be interested as their first round pick Arian Foster is out till Week 8 with a groin injury. With only one other starting RB on the roster, it seems the hunt for a starting RB has begun. The injury to Foster also means the stock value of Alfred Blue has risen dramatically.

Confirmed Source: Boston Nation is on the hunt for a new QB. With a solid WR and RB core, the team could definitely part ways with some of those players for an upgrade at QB. While Jameis Winston isn't terrible, he is not going to post elite numbers. The Leddlemiesters have received offers for QB for Drew Brees, but the organization denied the offers. With the hunt for a new QB taking place, Derek Carr might find himself a new home on the roster of Boston Nation, leaving Winston unemployed.

Rumor: According to some sources, it seems the Leddlemiesters are trying to move players in order to promote a trade with Team Nick for Dez Bryant. Team Nick has made it clear it wants to trade away the star WR as the team finds no need for Bryant. This is sparking interest from many teams, but do they have the players to trade for such talent? The Leddlemiesters are trying to acquire players from other unnamed teams that would sweeten the deal with Bryant, but as of late, it seems talks of Bryant moving to The Leddlemiesters have slowed down.

 

Breaking News Rumor: Team reppucci is making a strong push at trading star RB Le'Veon Bell. The Leddlemiesters are considered to be the front runner as they have lost their star RB in Arian Foster and are in desperate need of a starting RB. Do not surprised to see a deal done by tomorrow morning.

Rumor: Along with talks for Le'Veon Bell, The Leddlemiesters are supposedly looking at Strikers of the South's roster. Some speculate a minor trade that would send Charles Johnson to the Leddlemiesters for Montee Ball.

 

Confirmed Source: Boston Nation has cut ties with Chris Ivory, one of their starting running backs. In a corresponding move, they added Jonas Gray, a running back who does not seem to have a starting job. This is a curious move made by Boston Nation as Ivory would seem to be a better option for the club. Ivory will be able to be claimed this Friday.

Confirmed Source: West End Kids has released running back Danny Woodhead. It may be that the club will try to pursue Chris Ivory as he is now a free agent and has a starting job. Woodhead was primarily going to be used as a receiving back so if West End Kids can strike a deal with Chris Ivory, that would be a huge upgrade.

Rumor: Feeling as though their WR squad is not going to be enough, PBJ Sammies have entered into the market for a new star WR. Some speculate that Dez Bryant could be moving to PBJ Sammies as Team Nick has stated it's desire to move Bryant, however, at a steep price. Team Nick is looking for some additional help at RB, which PBJ Sammies can definitely provide. One source said that they would not be surprised to see star running back Adrian Peterson going to Team Nick in exchange for Dez Bryant and maybe another, less relevant player. Personally, I do not see either side finishing such a deal, but there is always the possibility.

Rumor: West End Kids has been pushing hard for back up wide reciever Cody Latimer of The Leddlemiesters. While they have made multiple offers to The Leddlemiesters, all have been rejected. According to a front office member from the Leddlemiesters stated that "we have no interest in trading away Latimer. He has a lot of potential and upside this year and we would not want to risk losing that."

Breaking News: It's official. Le'Veon Bell is on the move! He will be heading to The Leddlemiesters in exchange for receiver Jordan Matthews, tight end Antonio Gates, and running back Montee Ball. Along with the three players, cash considerations were sent to Team reppucci. Team reppucci is also going to be forced to cut ties with two other players, which are going to be named at a later date. This is great news for The Leddlemiesters as they now have a star running back to replace injured Arian Foster. Bell is suspended for the first two games of the season, so look for the The Leddlemiesters to start producing at running back after Week 2. Once Week 8 rolls around, the strength of their running game is going to be off the charts with two first round running backs.

 

Confirmed Source: Boston Nation has officially claimed QB Derek Carr off of the waivers! In a corresponding move, they cut RB Duke Johnson. With Derek Carr added to the mix, Boston Nation's drafted QB, Jamies Winston, is now competing for a starting job. Boston Nation also claimed TE Scott Chandler off of waivers as well.

Rumor: The trade between Team Nick and Boston Nation may not be as close as most thought. Since the addition of Carr, Boston Nation is pondering whether or not they really need Andy Dalton as a QB. Carr and Dalton are projected to do as well as each other so a move like this, especially for star RB Matt Forte, would be quite surprising.

 

Breaking News: Matt Forte was headed to Team Nick however, it seems the league did not want to see Forte go. Team Nick was trading away RB Isiah Crowell, RB Terrance West, WR Torrey Smith, and QB Jimmy Garappolo. The league's GMs have vetoed the trade, meaning both sides rosters will stay the same for atleast tonight. Team Nick is free to reoffer a trade for Matt Forte as soon as they please.

Rumor: PBJ Sammies is willing to part ways with star RB Adrian Peterson, but the only player they want in return is star WR Antonio Brown. While it's unclear whether or not Team Nick is interested, it would purely be a switch of similar talent at a different position.
