Fantasy Football Ruling Issue

[Mark L]

Yeah both players agreed to the deal. Neither of them are denying that. (Btw I am not one of them.)

The trade was something like Gore + Keyshawn + junk player for Deangelo + Baltimore D + Random player + 1st round pick next year, which will now likely be around #4 overall(out of 12 teams).

edit to add: I am also not one of the two teams involved in this trade, but the argument being made by the guy who had traded gore was that had gore had a good game and deangelo tore his ACL he still would've been forced to take the trade.

Deal goes through. And FWIW, D. Williams will be losing carries since Foster is back.

I agree. If it was already agreed to, there's no turning back.

What about the TO to the Ravens deal? I'm more wondering than anything cause if the 9ers could back off from that then why can't he back off from his trade? Unless they didn't actually agree to the trade, then I have no basis and it should go through.

Although Owens was eager to leave the 49ers, the 49ers asserted that Owens's previous agent, David Joseph, had missed the deadline to void the final years of his contract with the 49ers. Owens and Joseph disputed this assertion, contending that the deadline referred to by the 49ers was not the applicable deadline. On March 4th, 2004, San Francisco, believing it still held Owens' rights, attempted to trade Owens to the Baltimore Ravens for a second round pick in the 2004 draft. However, Owens challenged the 49ers' right to make the deal. Owens assumed that he would become a free agent on March 3, and did not believe that the earlier deadline was applicable. So he had negotiated with other teams in advance of his expected free agency, and had reached a contract agreement with the Philadelphia Eagles, whose fan base strongly supported Owens in his desire to play for the team. The NFL Players Union filed a grievance on his behalf.

Before an arbitrator could make a ruling on Owens's grievance, the NFL and the three teams involved in the controversy reached a settlement on March 16, 2004. The Ravens got their second-round pick back from the Niners, and the Niners in turn received a conditional fifth-round pick and defensive end Brandon Whiting from the Eagles in exchange for the rights to Owens. Owens's contract with the Eagles was reported to be worth $49 million for seven years, including a $10 million signing bonus.

I think this is a different issue. They aren't anywhere near the same issue. Fantasy Football and real Football, especially something involving Terrell Owens shouldn't be brought up in a FF thread.

I just got owned. Sorry, just thought maybe it was close.

Anyway, I believe the trade should go through, as it has been said before, they both agreed to it.
