Now I feel bad because I'm guessing that is partially down to me saying I traded for desirable contracts?

So now I feel the need to explain as I think that may have been taken the wrong way.

These are the contracts I picked up last year that I would say are desirable

MLB Bryan Vinson (84) from 49ers
SS Levi Marquardt (77) from Wildcats
WR O.J. Murdock (83) from Lions
CB Trumaine Banks (85) from Cowboys

Vinson and Banks I wanted regardless of the contract attached to them and involved me sending away really high draft picks (9th overall and 42nd overall I think). Their contracts being good was coincidental. Wiz came to me with the Banks trade and the Vinson trade, I had tried getting an MLB from 4 different people before that so it's not like Vinson was my first choice.

The Murdock trade was made for cap reasons but not for the contract itself. I had excess CBs with a hole at WR. Nee had excess WRs. So I offered to send Nee what would be a CB1 for him for one of his WRs. I feel it's important to note I didn't pick the WR I took back, I let Nee pick whichever WR he wanted to send back and he picked Murdock. I also offered to send a cheap contract back to fill one of his holes as part of the trade which he declined (Marquardt fwiw). This ended up backfiring anyway as then I drafted a WR to be a returner

In Marquardt's case I sent back the draft pick (high 5th) I would have used to draft a SS and the dead money involved was pretty minimal (like 300k total). Deadpool also had 3 SSs on his roster and was in a rough cap spot so taking an SS off him for a draft pick helped him more than me.

Most trades inherently involve desirable contracts due to the guaranteed money being paid by the original team. What I meant by me trading for desirable contracts was that I gave up draft picks for players basically knowing that would save me money and help offset the large amount of dead money I was eating this year.

I wouldn't ever intentionally present an unfair trade to another user. I have also never pressured anyone into a trade. I typically send a PM saying would you be interested in X player or would you be interested in trading away X player. If I get told no, I simply tell them no worries and move on. I have all my trade PMs (because apparently B8NFL is the only time I use the PM system) and have no problem showing any of them.
