His offer is by no means a "bad" offer at all or anything, it just probably isn't enough, and isn't the right offer.
Yeah, that's a lot of potential to give up for Trent. I love him, but he does have his injury risks. But I could see someone with the depth to pull it off, who covets trent, to just say #### it and throw in both Maclin and Gordon to get it done, and hope for the rest of their careers that Gordon keeps being a moron and Maclin never reaches his potential. hahaYeah he can survive. He has Brees, Richardson, Martin, Demarius Thomas, and Gronk. He doesn't have a lot of WR depth though.This is pretty much my argument. Its a top-heavy roster that just lost AHern and has the Gronk injury worrying me as well, so I could use the depth/picks. But I basically said I'm not dealing Trent for just those picks and prospects that I wouldn't feel comfortable putting in my lineup. I need either David Wilson or Lamar Miller plus.
With this roster, I might take a deal like the one you offered, though I'd look for a more reliable, but maybe less valued, WR in there than Maclin/Gordon. But it would seriously get me thinking because it would work better for my roster. I'm guessing the guy you offered it to could survive without those extra pieces.
He did say I could get Richardson for Morris, Maclin, Gordon, and a projected late 2014 1st.........I can't do that.
He paid a lot less to GET Richardson, also. Not that that matters to him at all, just sayin. He paid Sproles and Decker. Ouch for the other guy.
That was too much for Forte - I thought I gave up a lot when I sent Vincent Brown, the 2.04 and my 2014 1st for Forte. I think he has 2-3 more low RB1 years left but he's not a stud who is going to carry your team. Next year looks like a good draft at the top so if a couple of those picks are high it could end up a great trade for the guy who moved Forte.Trent for both Wilson and Miller
Yes getting one of them plus more would be nice. Like a decent playable young WR and/or picks.
Wilson (or miller) and a couple 1sts.
And just a quick thought on our Forte deal. Let's say for example the three picks we got end up being picks 2, 7, and 10. COuld you get those three picks for Forte in THIS year's lesser draft class?? Not likely. I don't see too many people trading picks 2,7, and 10 this year to get Forte.
Now let's factor in Forte a year older next season, and the 2014 draft "should" be a better draft, especially at the top, than this year.
Let's say one year from today you offer someone Forte for picks 2,7,10. It's simply not happening, at all. I don't care if Forte has a great year or not.
You got Forte as cheap as possible. Ouch for the other guy.That was too much for Forte - I thought I gave up a lot when I sent Vincent Brown, the 2.04 and my 2014 1st for Forte.

Nicks side easily for meJust went down in my main league:
Team A Gives:
Fitzgerald
Bradshaw
Ingram
Team B Gives:
Hakeem Nicks
1.3 Rookie/ FA pick
This is a nice trade, and I can see where both teams would come out of this one happy.My: Alfred Morris and 2014 1st (late), 2nd (early), 3rd (late)

If the side that Got Jackson/Colston is looking to win now, they got a real solid deal here.Gottabesweet said:Not involved: 12-Team PPR
Steven Jackson
Marques Colston
Rookie pick 3.5 (29th overall)
DeMarco Murray
Rod Streater
That is getting Trent at a nice price.

Took people awhile to admit Reggie Bush wasn't near his college hype levels too. Trent is all about youth right now.

Exactly. Morris has RG3/Shanahan and Trent has Weeden/CLE organization that doesn't know how to get out of its own way. I will put my chips on the guy running the ball with a franchise QB and a Hall of Fame coach. Trent may be younger and have a bit more talent, but Morris did not look like a slouch and has a much better environment to thrive. Also with an emphasis on protecting RG3 I would not be shocked to see an uptick in receptions from Morris.Was Morris playing with broken ribs?I dont understand the love for Trent Richardson.

I've gotta give Alf some credit for a huge rookie year. He definitely has some talent, but I think the Shanahan/RG3 factor works in his favor as well.
I still think Trent is a better back. What really sets him apart in PPR terms is his pass catching skills. Morris rushed for a billion yards last year and still didn't have a dominant ppg average because he doesn't catch the ball. If Trent can maintain his reception numbers and get better running the ball, he will outscore him by a good bit.
Why would any body trade all those picks. Is there a thread for special ed trades that guy can post in?I agree. I just don't get it.Trade above makes 0 sense to me
I don't think we've seen Trent's best yet and I'd caution against selling him while there are still a lot of people who think he's just draft hype. If he stays healthy he will churn out top 10 seasons.Exactly. Morris has RG3/Shanahan and Trent has Weeden/CLE organization that doesn't know how to get out of its own way.

Steep price for Austin IMO. Even with his legal troubles, Gordon might still command a random first round rookie pick on his own. Add in two additional first rounders and that's a lot to give up for Tavon.Josh Gordon + 2014 FIRST + 2015 FIRST
FOR
Tavon Austin
Agreed. I was the one trading away Austin. I hadn't planned on trading him, but this offer was too rich to pass up. I like Austin just a little more than Gordon. Even if Gordon is kicked out of the league in 2 years, I still have two chances to outdo Austin with the picks. Plus my other WR's are Green, Dez, Harvin, Cobb, and Patterson. I did well with some trades in this 12 team PPR league.Steep price for Austin IMO. Even with his legal troubles, Gordon might still command a random first round rookie pick on his own.

I agree, in PPR format Trent is much better.I don't think we've seen Trent's best yet and I'd caution against selling him while there are still a lot of people who think he's just draft hype.

Morris had a great rookie year, but he rushed for 1500+ yards and Trent still scored on par with him in PPR formats despite broken ribs and a putrid YPC. I think that tells you all you need to know about their upside. I really don't advocate trading Trent Richardson if you're lucky enough to own him anywhere. Injuries are the only thing that will keep him from a great career.
I wouldnt give just those 1st rounders. Will take Gordon side handily.Steep price for Austin IMO. Even with his legal troubles, Gordon might still command a random first round rookie pick on his own.

I was thinking the same thing. That was a pseudo playoff game. Not a meaningless week 17 game...I prefer Richardson too, but Dallas would have made the playoffs if they had beaten the Skins in that game.

If I was rebuilding I would take that in a second. Then I would flip manning in season for a prospect and a 2014 first.Not involved:
Team that had Flacco and Kaepernick

Peyton Manning
for Donald Jones and 1.8
Team that had 1.8 was rebuilding, not sure why he took on Peyton.
I like Gordon's talent but I mustn't be as high on him as you guys, slight concerns over some of the personal issues but I'm not convinced Cleaveland has enough at WR to sufficiently draw coverage away from Gordon week in week out.Nothing short of a Chris Johnson or Anquan Boldin kind of rookie season will justify three first round picks.Austin owner and I wouldn't do this.
