The Big Oregon Bang pulled the trigger on the offseason’s biggest trade so far, sending RB Shaun Alexander to the Froglickers. The price for Shaun Alexander: moving up 10 picks in the first round, to the #2 overall slot. It would seem the Big Bang are yet again targeting another high-profile rookie running back, as they did last year with Laurence Maroney. Now the question is: who will be available at #2 — Adrian Peterson or Marshawn Lynch? At this point, only the Orange County Beach Dudes know.

And speaking of the Dudes, they also pulled off a trade with the very-active Froglickers. Orange County sends WR Donald Driver to the Froglickers for RB Kevin Jones and a 2008 4th-round pick.

Both these trades were posted Wednesday. Earlier this week, the Dudes traded QB Jon Kitna to Syracuse for RB Marion Barber. Blizzard owner Doug Weaver is done playing the platoon game with Cowboys running backs, apparently settling on Julius Jones.
