Worst one this year so far:
I send
McCoy
Allen Robinson
Cordarelle Patterson
I recieve
Vareen
Ladarious Green
2nd this year
2nd in 2016
With a comment let's be honest McCoy is old for RB standards, Allen Robinson is unproven and Patterson sucks.

The offer itself isn't in the "worst ever" department, but the comment puts the sender in the "I'm a D-bag" department. McCoy is old, Robinson unproven and Patterson sucks, yet you are trying to acquire them. Speaking of unproven, Hi Ladarious Green.

I've recieved way worse, but for purposes of following along in here more, any bad one worthy enough to post in here I will!
Those 2nd's sure are unproven too!
Shutout

Comments can be helpful, perhaps if you're fielding a question, finding out if someone is rebuilding or going for it, etc, but when you lace the offer to acquire players with all the reasons they are terrible, you can't possibly have any credibility. I've yet to see a team owner whose mission statement is to improve all other teams in the league at the expense of his/her own.

My thoughts are that I can't wait to post this offer in the "What is the worst dynasty trade you have been offered?" thread over at FBGs.I'd love to know what the reply to "Thoughts?" was.

Ok, I sent this offer to Lacy/Blount/Gaffney owner-
Dion Lewis, Crockett, and a 5th for Lorenzo Taliaferro ( I own buck) Thinking Crockett could be the future cuff of Lacy and Lewis is in the mix for touches in New England (more positive reports about him then Gaffney.
His counter- Tali for Duke Johnson
I then responded that he must be Tali's brother or mother to think he's worth that much

It could also look just as bad in two years when Jordy is still only 32 and Jones and Coates have failed to climb a depth chart or are washed out of the league.
ETA: and right now it's a terrible offer as it's akin to offering the 3.02 and 3.5 for Jordy Nelson.

A guy offered me Arian Foster for Julio plus a 3rd or 4th round pick. 16t Ppr.
Offer was just sent, so not even before the injury. Head scratcher.

I normally will outline in a trade why I think they may want to go with a safer option.
Example this year would be Knile Davis (I have not offered a trade):
Knile Davis for Andre Ellington
*Davis may be good when he gets the chance to play but is buried behind Charles for the next two years
This could also be the same for any position as well, the only reason I would see calling out that someone sucks is if they truely are a throw-in player to make salaries work and you plan on pretty much cutting them so in theory you dont care if they are included in the trade.

Just got this gem about 2 hours after Benjamin got hurt.
I give Kelvin Benjamin
I get a 2016 3rd
Notes: I know we talked about a trade involving Benjamin a couple months ago and I said he was worth a 2nd, now that he is hurt I think he is worth a 4th, but I am willing to gamble.

Got offered:
Kevin White
2016 2nd
for
Randall Cobb
Devante Parker
(3) 2016 1st rounders.
I replied back that I wouldn't trade any of those things for Kevin White, let alone all of them.

I would give a projected late 2016 1st.........................but wow, that is a really putrid offer.
That would be a putrid offer if White had 300 yards and 4 TDs in week 1 and then he offered it. I am guessing that won't happen.

The comments really are the delicious frosting on a lot of these.
I could offer up a 2017 4th rounder for Aaron Rodgers, but it's not as bad as if I offer up Rivers for ROdgers with a comment like "Rivers extended, who knows what happens with ROdgers when his contract is up"

I know this was posted in June, but I'm not sure Taliaferro isn't worth more than Duke Johnson.

Probably from making trades like this...

Wasn't a standalone offer, but a guy's been trying to get me to trade my Mike Evans for his Demaryius Thomas all offseason, and I've been declining all offseason. So he just came to me with an offer of Demaryius Thomas + Derek Carr for Mike Evans + the 1.09.
Which means he thinks Derek Carr is worth more than the 1.09 pick. In a 10-team, start 1 QB league.

Evans/Baldwin or Evans/Harvin for 1.01, Brown, and Cruz is a fine offer. Even the most optimistic Gurley/Cooper fan should recognize that Evans is easily the most valuable piece in that trade.
HairySasquatch
Footballguy
Baldwin and Harvin have next to zero value for me...does nothing to make this trade better. John Brown is a candidate to break out this year enter the top 30 at WR. Cruz is a lottery ticket...but similar value to Baldwin and Harvin right now.
I would take the 1.01 for Evens every day of the week....throw in Brown and it is a no brainer.
After breaking it down, I think Evens for 1.01 would be fair....but not with Brown.

I prefer EVans in that deal.

So...do you not consider Evans a top 10-15 dynasty player, or do you already consider Cooper/Gurley to be top 15?
Evans is ranked top 10 by a lot of people, and at worst top 20. Also, he was a top 2 pick in just about every rookie draft last year (it's not like he was a late round flier who came from nowhere).
You're saying that a top 2 player from last year, who has proven himself, isn't worth more than a top 2 player this year, who isn't proven?
HairySasquatch
Footballguy
You are right that I'm undervaluing Evans. You have opened my eyes to some blinders that I have been wearing. Evens is a top 10 player.
I would put Gurley in the top 15 right now though....but it's an unproven ranking at this point. The RB position is very thin for young dynasty plays. The WR position is deeper. I would still make this trade...when you get a chance to possibly get the top RB for the next 3-5 years, I think you have to take it. I know Evens could be a top WR for the next 7-10 years or more, but it is easier to build a WR core imo.
Jrodicus
Footballguy
There aren't many young stud RBs, you are correct. Part of that is because of the turn over. Keep in mind Martin and TRich were top dynasty players not that long ago.HairySasquatch said:
Sure, it's possible that Gurley could be more valuable this time next year, but is it more likely? Meh, we'll see.

Just venting but I've had the absolute worst time finding trades this offseason. The only offers I get are straight up trade-rape and any reasonable offer I send is rejected without counter with the message, "I'm really high on player x so you would have to massively overpay to get him" when the original offer was either at or just above Shark Pool market value. It's frustrating.
