I don't have much to trade really, unless someone wants to trade a good WR for CJ Anderson or Stewart, maybe. I'm probably rebuilding now since my team went from borderline loaded to s*it in one year. I have no idea how I managed to still make the playoffs last year with Peyton nosediving in the second half, Garcon turning into garbage, Cruz downtrending/getting hurt and Gio losing his job. Apart from Peyton/CJ/Benjamin I have a bunch of meh keeper options I'll be debating till draft day most likely.
Usually the day before the season starts. Trading before the draft is nice, since we can trade picks as well then.
I noticed keepers lock on September 3 (the night of the last preseason games) this year, though the draft is still on the 9th, the night before the regular season starts. I'm glad there's some distance between keepers and the draft - in the past it was like three hours before the draft where they'd lock and there wasn't time to fix potential issues - though it might be better served to have the deadline a day or two later after the preseason ends.
Junc has been active, I see that he posted a sarcastic note in the league messages. What more can you ask of him?
