Has anyone moved Selvin yet? (1 Viewer)

[dlptown]

I was offered Ernest Graham and Santonio Holmes for Young in a redraft............ not sure about it as he could be productive during playoffs and the others are often hit or miss

 

[Sea Bass]

Henry owner offered Jacobs for Young. I need to find more detail on Jacobs going forward before I consider this offer.

 

[flat_earth]

12 Team dynasty. Traded Young and a 5th round pick to the Henry owner for Kenny Irons and his 1st round pick.

 

[Smitty72]

Just traded him in my 12 team big $$ keeper league where we start 3 RBs/3 WRs for Santonio Holmes straight up.

 

[BeachBums]

Traded him with D. Bowe for 85 in a 12-team redraft.

Details you may not be interested in: Johnson's owner proposed the trade to me, I let it sit for a while while I tried to get Moss (Moss owner is 4-0, Johnson owner is 0-4) from the Henry owner, but all the talk how long it will take until Henry is suspended, RBBC in Denver, etc. made me think the Johnson owner might retract so I took it just after 1 eastern so I can still play Bowe this week (24 hours til trades take effect).

Pretty good deal for two ww pickups!

good luck on getting Chad Johnson for...Selvin Young.

As I said, it's a starting point for discussion. I don't think it would fall into the "insulting offer" category by any stretch. It's going to come down to how desperate the Henry owner is. Driver might be where we eventually end up, but no harm in asking for Chad.

I totally disagree. It's not the end of the world, but identifies you as a tool (for fantasy trading purposes only. Nothing personal).As for me, I'm going to offer Young to the LT owner straight up. I don't think it would fall into the "insulting offer" category by any stretch.

Wow...alot of "emo's" (as my 14 year old daughter calls them) on this board today.

sounds like daddy is trying to insult some of us..well I agree this is a bogus offer and wish the other teams good luck in your league p.s. you're not going to make alot of fans bragging about trying to take advatage of Henry owners..it happens every year and it just cloggs up the boards. You made your point of who you'd like for Young. no need to annoy anyone any further trying to justify the b.s. offer..ty

Seems many have done nicely. Posted earlier about a month before Travis is (Possibly) suspended, RBBC and such has made me wanting to move him, but as yet, unable to. Trades are a few and far between thing in the league I picked him up in this week. Offered him and Cooley for Dallas Clark and Witten owners yesterday (and their worst player), no luck. Today I offered owners of Chicago, Balt, NE and Pitt (And their worst player) for Young and Denver. Maybe................Have good RB depth there, just wondering how many others are hitting a ?

I find it quite ironic that some of the posters in this thread have tried to rake me over the coals for merely suggesting that I might offer Selvin for Chad to the Henry owner. They suggest how ridiculous and insulting that offer would be, up on their high horses. Then, BeachBums chimes in above that he successfully did just that - traded Selvin and Bowe for Chad. There was an interesting thread on these boards a few weeks ago where one of the FBG's staff (maybe Levin or Bloom - can't remember who) suggested that anyone who gets "insulted" by any trade offer is missing the entire point of the offer as well as the art of the trade. ANY trade offer is merely an invitation for discussion. It can be a light-hearted negotiation, a hard-ball negotiation, whatever. But it constantly surprises me that there are those who play FF who take this thing way too seriosuly. I've played for many years with the same group of guys (and yes, this is a money league where the winner takes home over $1,000), we are good owners - not really a true guppy in the league (maybe a borderline one or two) but we have fun. We certainly don't get "insulted" by anyone making an offer, no matter how ridiculous because it's merely a way to get the ball rolling. Furthermore, I would never allow myself to get so emotional about so minor an issue in my life. Good for BeachBum for making a shrewd trade. And to those of you who get insulted so easily - relax and enjoy yourselves. This is a game!

In Beachbums deal he traded Bowe and S. Young, when you said you only offered Young which is different, but not by a lot. I know that i sure as hell wouldnt accept beachbums trade anway. The fact that someone would makes me think that hes in a yahoo public league. I dont really understand what you are getting at with someone getting insulted by a trade offer. When someone gives me an insulting offer for a player, its not like im jumping up and down screaming and am gonna reply to the guy who offered me the trade with a rant. All that i would say is "You're going to have to do a lot better than that" or something. I certainly dont lose any sleep over it or anything if that is what you are trying to get at..

Most of me being able to make that trade was that he proposed it to me. Maybe a lot of the 'insulted by the offer' stuff has to do who does the proposing. If I had my current roster with Chad added on and someone came to me with Bowe and Young for 85, I'd tell em to go fly a kite. 'Are you high??!!' The guy is new and maybe a guppy - he is 0-4 - but he's also desperate at RB and has been blowing his wad on the ww trying to get something decent. And then I scooped him on S. Young. I actually feel kind of bad - 85 is all he has. I'd probably offer a decent RB to him for Young if Young turns out to suck.ETA: I mentioned I tried to get Moss from the Henry owner with Young, but I packaged Young with Steve Smith.

Anyway. Good luck on Sunday.

Anybody else moving Selvin right now? I don't want to turn this into a ACF post but I'm negotiating with the Henry owner right now.

I'm targeting Peyton Manning on his roster.

If he's a turns into a RB1 assuming Henry is suspended I might be giving up too much.

On the flip side Selvin might be in a RBBC so his value may never be any higher than right now.

 

[Max Power]

Selvin Young has a value equal to a lower mid tier WR at best. Guys like Curtis, S.Holmes, Berrian, V.Jackson. Maybe a Colston if the owner is getting upset. If you get anything more, You got a great deal.

Pending trade: McNabb and Selvin for Manning and Norwood (filler)

I hope Manning doesn't kill me in the week 15/16 playoffs but he should have a big part of me actually making them.

I'm pretty happy as I traded Brees + Marshall for McNabb, and now traded McNabb + Selvin for Peyton. So essentially I traded Brees, Marshall, and Selvin for Peyton. I'm fully expect Brees and McNabb to light it up for the rest of the season and Selvin to turn into a stud RB1. I already miss Baby TO...but with all the unknowns surrounding these players I'm pretty happy to land Peyton in the end. His consistency is going to really help my team.

Thanks for the replies in this post they were quite helpful.

Maroney for Selvin Young (redraft)

I am debating on offering the Henry owner Young for MaroneyThis is a Dynasty League Someone a couple of posts ahead said how much value young would have in a Dynasty, but surely not as much as Maroney. Right?Would you offer Young for Maroney in a Dynasty if you are needing RB help?

 

[flooredyas]

Redraft.

Sunday morning trade-I gave Selmon and Denver D

Got Pittsburgh and Greg Olsen.

 

[RamMan]

Pending: I give Selvin & B. Marshall. I get D. Driver & B. Leonard (I own SJax). I was torn on this one but I need RB and WR help now - can't wait around for Henry's lawyers to drag his suspension out.
