I disagree (obviously, or I wouldn't have made the trade). For me, 75% of the gist of the comparison is MaGahee for the rest of this year only vs. Henry with an extra year, at only $666 and no bonuses running that up. I see a lot more potential in the Den offense than the Balt offense.
There's other little things that also pushed me this way. For example:
1. As I mentioned to you, our trade put me in a bind Week 7, when I'd lose starters as I face Absolut losing no one. This trade puts me in a bind in Week 6, when I lose starters as I face Amish (losing both Parker and C. Johnson). No offense to Joel, but I'd much rather face Brett's team at full strength when he is, and take my chances being short-handed at the same time that Joel is.
2. There's more value to me in having Walker as a possible RFA match rather than Gates (since V. Davis is my future). To match on Gates negates half the point of my trading the 1.1 (to build my future around Benson and Davis).
