Potential trades

Actual roster needs. Hypothetical handshakes. Nobody has been messaged.

Value basis: FantasyCalc dynasty value. Fairness is package balance, not acceptance probability. Suggestions require a useful roster fit. Check health, bye weeks, taxi rules, pick ownership, and both owners' goals before offering anything. See the formula.
