Flat out, you gave up too much at this point in the season.

A fair point. However, this league for some reason has only 2 starting RB's. So I don't mind losing Rice and another Rice-like RB next year for a guy who I think will outperform Rice by quite a bit.
If you could start 3 RB's, perhaps I wouldn't do this deal, as it's potentially taking away two RB's for one. But with this structure, all you need is two stud RB's and then good backups. I feel I just got one, so I'm more than willing to "break the bank".
