Trade Dispute: White for Perry/Muhammad

Q:  Dear ffdisputes,

There was a trade in our league between two teams where Chris Perry and Muhsin Muhammad were traded for Roddy White.  I’m thinking this trade may actually be fair because Chris Perry might be starting with Rudy being on the trading block, and the team that he was traded to already had Rudi Johnson (He is actually the one who inquired about the availability of Chris Perry).  Is this fair?

A:  Hi Eric.  This trade is absolutely fair, a standard 2 for 1 trade in which Team A is receiving the best player involved (Roddy White) while Team B is receiving depth in a passable receiver and a running back with strong upside.

If this trade was Randy Moss for Perry and Muhammad the disparity would be too great, but White, while a solid WR, doesn’t make this an uneven trade.

Thanks for the inquiry!
