After counters back and forth prior to week two, South Park and Phoenix finalized a deal today.
- SOUTH PARK ACQUIRES RB D'ANDRE SWIFT
- PHOENIX ACQUIRES WR DeSEAN JACKSON
The Cows proposed this deal last week after declining deals for Chris Thompson and Tarik Cohen. Now those two guys are on the street, replaced by Devonta Freeman and Mike Davis in Phoenix, apparently rendering rookie D'Andre Swift expendable. It's selling low for the Uprising, who took Swift in the 9th round, 86 picks before DeSean Jackson was selected.
The Cows should not have to press Swift into immediate duty, letting him develop a role behind Dalvin Cook, Austin Ekeler, and Myles Gaskin. It's a smart investment in their future that could prove tremendous later in the season.
The Uprising gain veteran WR depth in DeSean Jackson, who has seen plenty of targets in the first two weeks of the season- but has little to show for it. With DJ Chark (3rd year), Preston Williams (2nd year), and Henry Ruggs (1st year) all starting relatively slow, Phoenix will look to the historically boom/bust sparkplug for... stability.
