2008 Trades and Transactions

10.3.2008: 

With OT Ugoh returning from injury Indy has decided to retain the services 
of injury pick up OT Shaffer.  Per the league rules since the injury pick up
occurred prior to the trade deadline this is allowed.

Shaffer will remain in the starting the lineup since he is being signed 
after the start of the NFL season.

To make room on the roster Indy cuts RB Kolby Smith

9.12.2008: 

1) Krakow put the first claim in for the much sought after QB Troy Smith
so.....

Krakow releases QB Chris Simms and signs QB Troy Smith

2) As a result Philly does not get Troy Smith and is therefore short one
player so to get back to 44 they welcome back OT John Tait.

3) NY Knights sign OLB3 Gerris Wilkinson and cut WR Craig Davis

With that finally resolved I also announce a post NFL season starting
acquistion:

Las Vegas selects DE Matt Roth and cuts DE Tim Crowder  - per league charter
Roth goes into the starting lineup.  Since the change was rec'd today Roth
will be added to the Vegas roster after the week # 12 games.

For those keeping track at home Hollywood has now traded its 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 
6th round picks next year.  That is going to look like hell on the draft board in
2009.
