Use the following trick to get any player in a trade without the other team rejecting. In
the franchise mode, create a player as a quarterback and move his attributes until you get
to 99 points. Then, put his injury and stamina down to 0. This will not change the
attribute point level. Sign him as a free agent then trade him to any team for anybody you
want. When you play the team he is playing for, after a couple of plays he will either
become injured or will be taken out of the game for his weak stamina. No team will refuse
your trade and you will have any player you want on your team.

To make a receiver go to create player and create the player as a quarterback. Give the
player very low passing abilities (zero) and very high catching and ball handling levels.

sign him as a quarterback but use him as a wide receiver. His salary will never go up
because he will not play as a quarterback. You can also change his number and attributes
in the edit player screen. You can also make a dirt cheap fullback by eliminating his
receiving skills.
