In the history of the Seahawks, trades have often changed the outlook of the team in very positive ways. Some of the greatest trades in franchise history brought Seahawk legends such as Steve Largent, Marshawn Lynch, Curt Warner and Walter Jones to Seattle. The 2017 trade for Duane Brown was one of the team's most important deals in recent seasons. This year's trade for Jamal Adams brought one of the best defensive players in the NFL to the Pacific Northwest.
Fantasy Football players are always looking to make trades in constant efforts to improve their teams.. With the trade deadline quickly approaching in many leagues, we need to give you a reminder/review on how to properly approach executing a trade, especially if you need to get a deal done quickly.
Identify the Right Trade Partner: The first step to identifying the right trade partner is to determine what type of team is best to trade with. If your team has a need at wide receiver, but has two excellent quarterbacks, you will want to locate a trade partner that has a need at quarterback and could be deep at wide receiver. If you want to acquire a specific player, such as DK Metcalf, take a good look at the roster of the team that currently has him and consider if there is anything significant you can offer to help or attract the other Fantasy player to make a trade.
Think Outside of Yourself: The biggest fundamental flaw when making trade offers that many Fantasy players do not consider is to mentally put themselves on the other side of the deal. You will spend time spinning your wheels and not getting anywhere if you only submit proposals that only clearly help your team. You cannot offer two bench players who no one else may start either for a top-level running back or wide receiver. Think about what might motivate you to accept the type of offer you are floating out there if you were on the other side.
Be Ready to Give Up Something To Get Something: If you can win a Fantasy trade and get the better end of it, you always have to do it. Getting the better end of the deal is always satisfying and recommended. But in many cases, such as when you deal with other experienced Fantasy players, you will just not get away with lowball offers, or quantity for quality proposals. If you really want a player of significance, you ultimately will have to give up a player or two that has considerable value as well. In my dynasty league, I wanted to acquire Metcalf this offseason. I had to trade away Chris Godwin and a high draft choice to get Metcalf and Darren Waller. I am obviously happy with how the deal has turned out at this point, but I had to part with Godwin at the time. The other Fantasy player I was talking with valued him very highly, and I did what it took to get the trade completed. Offering a package of reserve players wasn't going to get it done.
Construct a Sensible Offer: The trade offers that usually package two or three players for one frequently get rejected. They often only favor one side. Don't offer a player that the potential trade partner may not need. Just don't think only about what you want to get rid of. Most other teams don't have several holes to fill to the point where they have to give up one star player to plug their areas of need. Three for ones and even some two for one offers are just "dump" trade proposals that rarely yield any desired results. They are Major League Baseball type of offers, where one team deals away a star for future prospects. Those sorts of deals usually do not get completed in seasonal Fantasy Football leagues.
Listen to and Know your Trade Partner: Be willing to listen to the other player to see what his needs and interests are. Then play up who you are offering and how it can help them. But be realistic in the process. Trying to make a sales pitch on a player that truly won't move the needle on the other side is a waste of time. If you are dealing with another highly experienced player, just cut to the heart of the matter and forgo any sales pitches. Show respect for what the other player wants and you have a much better chance of completing a trade.
