The 2010 season has officially been started in a big way as the season first trade takes place. It is a blockbuster deal involving eight players in total including three First Round draft picks and three starting qb's. Among the qb's are the reigning scoring champions of the past two years as 328's acquire 2009 leader Drew Brees from the 69ers. 328's also receive wr Robert Meachem from the 69ers who acquire qb 2008 scoring leader Jay Cutler, 2009 Free Agent of the Year wr Miles Austin and the #3 pick in 2010 from 328's. In addition to Brees and Meachem, 328's will receive two 2010 First Round Picks (#1 overall and #9) from A II P in exchange for qb Matthew Stafford who they drafted with the #2 pick in 2009. This trades marks just the fourth time in league history that officially involved 3-teams at once, and it is the first time since November of 2001 (when Both Holes, O's and A II P made a deal). The 69ers reacquired Brees (who they drafted and later released) in the 2008 Trade of the Year and he was a key reason for the franchises first ever National League title. The trade is the 60th for the 69ers franchise and it marks their 14th deal with the 328's franchise (the most shared by any two franchises in the league). If 328's hold on to the #1 overall pick in the 2010 draft it will mark the franchises 3rd in the past 5 years.
