Possible Trade Offers

[jwlincy]

Just looking to see if there is a way to improve my team (roster in signature). Are any of these trade fair & help improve my team?

Trade 1
I give Pierre Garcon & Kyle Rudolph
I get Alshon Jeffery
-Rudolph is a luxury since I already have J. Graham. Upgrading my WR4 (behind D. Thomas, A. Brown & Cobb).

Trade 2
I give Pierre Garon & Kyle Rudolph
I get Josh Gordon (9th round keeper)
-Keeper potential is pretty big so I'm not sure the other owner will go for this deal. Would have Gordon for the playoffs.

Trade 3
I give Randall Cobb
I get A.J. Green
-My brother lost Green this week. My roster would allow me to absorb Green's loss a little better and then I'd have a better WR going forward from Week 5.

Trade 4
I give Randall Cobb & Spiller (or Chris Johnson)
I get LeSean McCoy
-Could possibly throw in Rudolph into the deal too if needed. The other owner lost Moreno and has no other RBs. Also currently starting K. Allen, S. Smith & Nicks at WR, WR & Flex. Then he's got L. Green & Fasano at TE. Would it be worth it to throw Rudolph in there or is that too much to give up?

Trade 5
I give Randall Cobb, Spiller (or Chris Johnson) & Rudolph
I get L. Bell & Michael Floyd

Trade 6
I give Randall Cobb
I get Gio Bernard
-Would like to be a little more balanced and give myself a better RB in case D. Murray gets hurt.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

I would do trades 4, 5 or 6, with 4 being the best of the three.

[Erik]

Do trade 4. Don't offer Rudolph initially, but if he asks for him, then throw him in.

Do trade 6.

Do trade 5 if trade 6 is rejected.

The other three don't seem to be anything that would help you greatly.

[Waltsanity]

Trade 4 and 6 are the two I like a lot, in that order. And I agree with Erik, I wouldn't offer Rudolph initially either. I'm not big on trade 5, simply because if Palmer is out for an extended period of time, Floyd's value drops some. IMO anyway.

The McCoy owner agreed to:

I give Randall Cobb, Chris Johnson & Kyle Rudolph
I get LeSean McCoy, Anthony Fasano & Greg Jennings

Is this even remotely fair? I just don't want to cause a problem in our league.

Would I more fair option be Demayius Thomas & Chris Johnson for McCoy & Jennings? Or is that too much to give up to get McCoy since I'd probably drop Jennings anyway?

You don't think like you're giving up enough and want to hook him up? You don't think the other owner know what he's doing?

Is he getting robbed in this trade -- yes. But you're not a philanthropist.

Is the D. Thomas & Chris Johnson for McCoy & Jennings still a good deal for me? The other owner is not one of the league's stronger owners. So I don't want to make it look like I'm taking advantage of him.

I'm trying to craft a deal that's fair for both side and won't cause a big stink in our league.

It's fairer than the other offer, but if you have to give up Demaryius, then I'd go for one of the other offers mentioned.

[jwlincy]

I guess in the end I should still try to make the best deal for my team, which is the Cobb, C. Johnson/Spiller & Rudolph trade.

I was just worried about how the rest of the league will react when I deal for McCoy and add him to the other 3 first round draft picks that I have on my team (J. Graham, D. Thomas & D. Murray). I guess we can deal with that after the fact.

Thanks.

My conscience is clear. I offered both trades (Cobb, C. Johnson OR Spiller and Rudolph for McCoy, G. Jennings & Fasano) and (D. Thomas & C. Johnson for McCoy & G. Jennings).


He took the Cobb/C. Johnson/Rudolph offer for McCoy/G. Jennings/Fasano.

He turned down Demaryius? Cripes, he really was helpless.

Told you so. Plus he picked C. Johnson over Spiller when I gave him his choice or RBs to go with Cobb & Rudolph.

The only thing I can think is that he picked Cobb because he thinks he can keep him and with the rest of the dreck on his roster he's in big trouble already. Either that or he's a complete buffoon. Either way you nailed it.

The other guys starting lineup went from:

QB - Foles
RB - McCoy
WR - K. Allen
WR - S. Smith
RB/WR - Nicks/G. Jennings
TE - L. Green/Fasano
K - Gould
DEF - DET

To:

QB - Foles
RB - C. Johnson
WR - K. Allen
WR - Cobb
RB/WR - Rainey
TE - Rudolph
K - Gould
DEF - DET

Once Moreno comes back that could help him move Cobb to WR and Moreno or S. Smith at RB/WR. Still not a great trade for him but my predictions have it improving his starting lineup by 2pts per game.
