Trading Eli: franchise

[eds133]

Hey guys, was curious to what some of you have done with your franchise with trading Eli Manning.

What have you gotten in return/who did you trade for?

Want to do a rebuild with the young pieces they have on offense and either trade for a young QB.. or some picks but with his rating it makes it more difficult.

Re: Trading Eli: franchise

Who would want Eli? With his degrading skills and big money contract, don't seem like there would be many takers. Unless you can fleece the CPU as in previous Maddens.

Re: Trading Eli: franchise

I would trade him as part of the rebuild. There are a couple young QBs on that roster. As long as one of them has decent arm strength (90+) and at least a couple accuracies closing in on 80, I’d go with one of them. [Caveat - I play franchise in competitive mode. If you play sim mode you may want to go a different route]

Teams with hurt QB's who are in range to make a playoff push would likely take Eli

Would be a low return at this point in his career. No young quarterbacks or early round picks.

Hang on to Eli. His rating will be back up in the 80's before season's end and he has one more Super Bowl run left in him.

Re: Trading Eli: franchise

I'll give it to you straight as I'm a Giants fan. At this point Eli has little to no trade value. Hes 37 and close to retirement. Although it wasn't really his fault he didn't have a good season last year. To realistically trade him he needs to play well and a team in playoff contention needs their QB to get hurt just before the deadline. On top of that the Giants need to be out of playoff contention. If he's playing well that will likely not be the case and you don't trade a QB who's playing well while your fighting for a playoff spot. So yea if you wanna be realistic trading Eli at this point is near impossible. If you are able to pull off a trade your getting very little. Oh yeah he makes too much money.

Re: Trading Eli: franchise

Yeah, no one realistically would take Eli. It seems has their starter for the next 2-3 years on their team already.

Re: Trading Eli: franchise

I have a Giants CFM going but no way I’m trading Eli.

Not only because realistically they wouldn’t do that to him and it seems that they plan to let him finish out his career their, but also because he has little to no trade value unless you try to cheat the CPU but I’m not sure that would work this year. Trading seems to be harder, at least for trading for high level players.

He’s close to retirement making big money coming off a bad season. Not a very good combination when trying to trade a player. A contender would need to lose their starting QB to a long term injury and Eli would have to be playing well but the thing is if he’s playing well the Giants are likely contending for a postseason spot and in that case I don’t see how you would still want to trade him.

That’s really the only scenario where Eli has trade value, even then considering his age and salary you really aren’t going to get that much back.
