Purple Cobras Get: QB Cutler, HB L.Tomlinson and HB R.Bush
Kings Get: QB Rivers and WR R. White
I have to say the Purple Cobras win this deal easily but this trade is strong evidence of how far LT's value has fallen in the eyes of fantasy owners. Tomlinson turns 30 this year and has many doubters but along with that he still boast top 10 if not 5 upside so it seems the P.Cobras may have gotten him on the cheap as well as they receive Reggie Bush to fill their flex spot moving Cedric Benson to the bench which is always a good thing.

This trade has made the Purple Cobras into serious contenders and erases their lack of depth at runningback. As for the Kings they took a step back but did gain a top 5 QB and can insert Kevin Smith as their runningback2 and R. White as their WR2 moving Marshall to the flex but I'd still rather have LT in hopes he regains top 5 form. This trade IMO has pushed the Purple Cobras in front of the Kings in talent and has not crushed but surely has diluted the King's championship aspirations as they have now lost two thirds of their runningback core giving both of them up cheaply too.
