With their eye on a S1 championships the Arizona Outlaws made big waves in the NSFL just hours before the closing of the trade deadline in hopes of securing their legacy. After moving their wide receiver King Bronko to quarterback the pass-happy team suddenly found themselves short a wide receiver for their 11, 02, and 20 personnel formations. They knew they had the right pieces with Stormblessed and Lincoln Jefferson, but lacking a third option they reached for the trading block, ready to spend big to try and land the Ultimus Cup.
The Outlaws Front Office found a willing trade partner in San Jose. Wheeling and dealing for their third wideout there was a lot of back-and-forth between the two as to what it would take to pull a player from their offense. The Outlaws were determined however, and were willing to pay big. Finally, both sides settled on a solution, standout WR Bailey Cook would head down to the desert in exchange for Arizona's 1st and 2nd round picks and for their star offensive lineman, Alex Thomas.
The sports media went nuclear after the deal was announced. Analysts and experts have been talking non-stop about the blockbuster deal that sent arguably the #1 wide receiver in the league to their division rival. Many people claimed that Arizona got fleeced on the deal, paying way too much for one wide receiver on a team not lacking for receiving talent. Others heralded it as the right move for both sides, San Jose getting more picks to rebuild after a terrible start to the season 1 and Arizona taking a shot for the championship, albeit behind a decimated offensive line.
Only time will tell who came out a winner and a loser in this trade.
