More Madden Madness!

OK, so here's the situation.

Peyton Manning is a great QB, rated at 97 overall.. but he's by far the most expensive player on my team, and in my universe, getting older.

My back-up QB is rated overall at about 78, but has a pass accuracy rating of 95. He's 25, and is signed for 4 years at a fairly low salary. Most of the areas he lacks are ones that improve with regular playing time.

So I'm thinking of trading Manning for a good position player and a high-end draft pick. The upside would be about 10 million off my salary cap, the downside a sudden loss of offensive power. Short term vs. long term here.

So what do you think?
