The Seattle Seahawks agree to trade:
QB Tony Romo - $9,000,000 (2013)
to the New York Giants for:
QB Eli Manning - $8,500,000 (2015)
DL Olivier Vernon - $400,000 (2014) RFA
Romo is having a great season and is currently the #5 overall player, but moving him for Eli gives me a good QB for the next couple seasons. I think that as bad as Eli has been he will bounce back, and with Bush and Hawk signed for a couple years this keeps my championship window open a little longer. Vernon has been turning it on of late and will work into my D-line rotation and was the piece that made this trade a good deal for me. Seahawks accept. Nice working with you, Giants, see you in the playoffs!
*proposed on mfl in two parts. Vernon has been offered as a separate trade because he plays tonight. This way the Giants won't be left without a QB for their line-up this week if the trade is not processed before kickoff this evening.

I will probably Franchise him at the end of the year as I will have a ton of cap room opening up next year. Really hurt losing the contract stability of Eli and having to include Vernon, but I think Romo could be the key to me winning it all here.
