QB Stan White and a 6th round draft pick (London) for DT Brandon Noble (Austria)

Shocking trade. Stan White one of the top QB's in the game who has been a Monarch for 7 years joins the Monarchs arch rivals.

WR Andy McCullough, CB Mark Wyatt and C Terry Vlasic (Austria) for a 5th and 7th round draft picks (Montreal)

Austria cut their stars with ease. The Montreal DarkKnights pick up more players, however the FWL Management is looking at these trades and future draft pick penalties might be applied.

T Ben Fricke (Montreal) for a 3rd round draft pick (Paris)

HB Derek Coombs, T Josh Kobdish, C Martin Griziska and S Tony George (Montreal) for 2nd, 5th, 7th and 8th round draft picks (New York)

WR Thabiti Davis, LB Kinnon Tatum and DE Curtis Eason (Austria) for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 6th round draft picks (Frankfurt)

Probably one of the biggest and most surprising trades in FWL history. Austria who seem set on rebuilding trade backup and former 1st round pick WR Thabiti Davis, potentially the greatest LB in FWL history Kinnon Tatum and DE Curtis Eason. Austria pick up 5 draft picks, is it a wise move for the future by Austria or a poor trade ? Only time will trade, whatever the result Austria are looking less and less like Mario Kreiners former team and more like David Bridsons who is eager to make the team his own.

WR Jay Kearney (Frankfurt) for a 3rd round draft pick (Berlin)

Scotland rebuild their offensive line to help HB Mike Green. DT Steve Brannon who started on and off in his Scotland career has 25 tackles and 6 sacks in limited appearances but is a quality backup. Scotland pick up T McGee

LB Sid Solakovic (San Antonio) for a 3rd round draft pick + conditional 8th round (Montreal)

Kentucky who has started for nearly 6 seasons with Ireland/Berlin and who is ranked 6th in FWL career tackles with 498 moves to Sacramento where he will team up with another long time veteran, Billy Owens. Berlin under Andreas Born continue to make major changes and they might have a steal in Jon Handley. Handley who has amazing speed but has not taken advantage of his opportunities in Sacramento. Handley has rushed for just 245 yards at a 1.8 average but could become the starter with the Thunder.

CB Michael Reed (Amsterdam) for 1st round and 5th round draft picks (Mexico)

Mexico pay a high price for CB Michael Reed. Reed who has talent has seen little action in his two years in the league, registering 4 tackles in Season 5 and 17 last year.
