Transaction Analysis

We have a trade to announce:

Chris Hill receives Hakeem Nicks
Adam Brown receives Steve Smith

This is kind of a homer trade all around. Brown, known for rocking his Steve Smith jersey at our live drafts, decided to make a move for his favorite receiver.  Notorious Giants homer Chris Hill shows his faith in the one-time superstar that now appears lazy and uninterested.  Hill will hope a change of scenery will help Nicks reach his potential and become a solid WR2 for him.  Brown will hope Newton continues to throw those deep balls to the tenacious Steve Smith.

I'd give Brown a slight edge here, if only because Newton has no one else to throw to, and at least the Carolina O-line isn't a complete disaster.  Nicks definitely has the higher upside, so a good low-risk, high-reward proposition for Hill.  Solid trade all around and ultimately, who gives a shit?
