The three-team trade — the first deal of any kind in league history — is taking place between the Knights, Zappers and Beasts:
The details:
Knights:
Trade – QB Dentarrius Yon + WR Isiah King
Receive – WR Terrell Owens + WR Jacoby HerringZappers
Trade – WR Terrell Owens + Picks 1 & 16 this week
Receive – QB Jason Stewart, WR Isiah King + Picks 5 & 12 this weekBeasts
Trade – QB Jason Stewart + WR Jacoby Herring + Picks 5 & 12 this week
Receive – QB Dentarrius Yon + Picks 1 & 16 this week
What is interesting is the explanation from fcf.io on Manziel in the comments on the trade:
Zappers – with the injury to Kelly Bryant and Johnny Manziel’s spotty attendance, we need a QB to have any chance to climb back into contention the last few weeks. Stew is the best available QB out there and King is a solid WR to play alongside Terrance Williams.
Of course, given the fans have a huge say in everything that goes on when it comes to weekly rosters and play-calling, there could be a hiccup. Each team will have a vote to accept the trade and if a 70% supermajority of the fans reject it, then the trade will not go through.
It would seem the Zappers need any and all help they can get in FCF. They are the lone winless team after four games.
