@Front 2 Back and anyone else, here's a deal on the table: I trade Alfred Morris and Brian Hartline or Robert Woods for Keenan Allen and La'Veon Bell.

I have Charles, Bush and Lacy as my other RBs. Vincent Jackson, Edelman and Terrance Williams are my WRs, so I need another one.

Minimal improvement if any. If you have that many good RBs, just move one straight up for a top 10 WR. Now is not the time to sell Morris for an unproven WR and a back in a bad offense with RGlll looking to go read option more.

That's what I was thinking. Half the people in this league don't check their shyt though or just let trades sit without a response. :shaq2:

Honestly, my thoughts on vetoes are you get a discussion going on the message board if a trade seems like collusion of some kind or is completely one-sided to where it jacks up the integrity of the league. Don't just veto and not say anything.

That said, I'm not sure that deal is vetoable. Garcon's a low-end WR1 who should improve now that RGIII is getting his legs under him, while Moreno has been real fortunate to get those cheap TDs.

Are you serious? Moreno's the 7th overall player and Garcon is 67th. Moreno's in by far the best offense in the league and has 562 total yards with a league leading 7 TDs compared to Garcon's 408 yards and 1 TD in a struggling offense. You really think Moreno's opportunities are gonna dry up? This is a ridiculous trade.:what:

You're missing the perspective. It's all about risk. Moreno doesn't have a history of sustained numbers like this. Denver also has a guy in Montee Ball who they spent a high draft pick on. The threat is if Denver starts running away with the division/#1 seed, do Ball and Hillman get more work?

Garcon on the other hand is on a team that has no defense and is constantly involved in shootouts. RGIII actually looking to run again helps Garcon because it'll keep plays alive and allow Garcon to do work on broken plays.

I understand, in a vacuum, that this deal seems one-sided. But remember, Eddie Royal was a top-5 WR a couple weeks ago. Jordan Cameron was a top-2 TE around that same time. The Moreno owner might not be a long-term believer...nothing wrong with that. And Garcon has top 10-upside the rest of the way. The guy getting Moreno wins the deal, but it's not vetoable.

You can't be serious. Garcon has never even had a 1,000 yard season before. :stopitslime:

Who says Cameron isn't still a top TE? He's been solid-great every week. Graham doesn't drop as an option just because he got shut out one week. :mjpls:

Moreno is the clear cut #1 in Denver, especially since Clady went down because he's by far their best blocking back. He's getting the majority of the reps and touches. Why would this change? He has been producing major numbers since becoming the permanent starter.

3 td's on 37 yards isn't sustainable
