Ho-kay... (Madden football stuff)

I just pulled off what might be the trade of the century.

I have a good QB (Rating 87) but lacked a really strong receiving corps (average rating was around 71.) So I took my worst WR (64) threw on my 2nd round draft pick in next year's draft, and went shopping.

Here's the relevant information about the trade I offered.

My side:
Wide reciever, Rating 64. Contract: $2.60 million with 4 years left, age 27
Second round pick

The Jacksonville Jaguars jumped on this and offered me the following player:

WR, rating 82. Contract $900,000 with 2 years left, age 23. This guy's speed rating is 96! (all of these ratings are on a 1-100 scale)

Players tend to improve until they are 26 or so, then remain at peak effieceincy for five or six years before age begins taking its toll. So with heavy playing time, this kid should be a 90+ rated player in the next two years, and that speed really opens up my passing game.

So, was the Jag's GM smoking crack, or what?
