Trader's Alley: Buy Low, Sell High

This exclusive 4for4 report published Tuesday September 23, 2014. Data through NFL Week 3.

Pros and Cons to Consider Before Closing the Deal

This column is designed to quickly unearth some not so obvious things to help you... buy low and sell high.

Further, we suggest you only make a trade if you receive plenty of value in return and the deal results in an improved roster for your squad. In short, obtain players that will outperform their current perceived value while trading overrated talent. Do that and you'll be on your way to improving your roster. The perfect trade!

Travis Kelce

Cam Newton

Brandin Cooks

Donald Brown

Trade away Terrence West

Why trade him away now?

1) RBBC factor - has another RB with talent on team. Actually two.
