G Man Ships Johnson

Team G Man has traded the 2010 second overall draft pick, RB Chris Johnson and WR Kevin Walter to the Kav's Kavanator for WR's Mike Wallace, Dwayne Bowe, and RB Ronnie Brown.

Sources report the trade was approved by both owners several days ago but has been awaiting league approval. Owners of both teams were notified that the trade was being reviewed to ensure total fairness and sportsmanship throughout the league.

With an 0-5 start G Man general manager Garrett Bauer decided it was time to push the panic button and get some help at the wideout position. His move means his team will rely on two unproven rookies at the running back position. With the nice start of rookie J. Best and the possibilities of Ryan Mathews, Bauer deemed star Chris Johnson expendable. Another motivating factor in the trade was the fact he had two starters on his team from the same Houston outfit, Walter and Jacoby Jones, with upcoming bye weeks. He received two starting wideouts with hopes that Mike Wallace will expand his output with the return of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Ronnie Brown is viewed as an emergency fill in at the position.
With the addition of Johnson, the Kav team has the 9th and 23rd ranked scoring backs in the eSFL. Although Johnson's output has not been up to its usual standards, his possibilites are high and he is expected to be a top 3 scoring back when the season is complete. Wideout Walter is currently ranked 7th in eSFL scoring at his position with 62.2 points. However, 31 of those came in week two when he had 11 catches for 144 yards.
