The guy who owns Colston in my Dynasty wont trade him away for anything. His only RBs are Dunn and Alexander Ive been trying to trade for Colston for the last 3 weeks. I have like 6 starting RBs and have offered him two RBs for Colston and he still wont do it. Guys like Thomas Jones and Wali Lundy. I dont think he would trade him for anybody but LT or LJ.
If I had SA and Dunn and you offered me Jones and Lundy (both might not start next year) for Colston, I would politely decline and thibk to myself, "this bleepers trying to bleep me".
Maybe but both might start next year and Dunn is 32 next year and SA is 30. He has no other RBs and will not have a high rookie draft pick. Plus he has Steve Smith, L. Coles, Devery Henderson, Jurivicious, Santonio Holmes, and Troy Williamson. I guess if he wants to have 7 WRs as keepers and 2 over the hill RBs thats his choice.
Problem is people over value their own and undervalue the players they are trying to obtain. I would never take your deal - old or not. Both RBs prob. have another good year or two. Maybe a win now attitude, but Lundy/Jones is probably a win never.
Yeah but he wouldnt do the same deal for Santonio Holmes either. I guess he just loves WRs.
Now that I don't get.
Next year he'll be begging me for a RB and out of spite I'll say no. Im still not 100% sold on Coston tho. Yeah sure he looks good as a Rookie but so did Michael Clayton and Keary Colbert. I thought it was a fair deal because you never know what you are gonna get out of this guy long term. His value is just too high for what he is worth.
Have you seen him play? Obviously no one knows for sure, but Colston looks VERY GOOD going forward. Lots of WRs have great speed and size, but Colston does an excellent job of using his body to get position, and has outstanding hands. Throw in the fact that he has a great QB to get him the ball, and other weapons to keep defenses honest, and Colston should be good for a long time.
i should qualify it's keeper league 22 man roster keep 16... sitting on plax, CJ, crayton is now my third..
Ummm, all the more reason to NOT trade him. Best rookie WR numbers since.... who? ever?
if there has been someone with rookie numbers this good before, i hesitate to think their fantasy owners were anxious to move them. keep colston and enjoy the ride. ***E-S-P-E-C-I-A-L-L-Y*** in keeper/dynasty formats....
Ouch. Honestly, as a 'Skins fan and a dynasty Colston owner, I'd hesitate about that simply because of the mileage already on Portis. How many more studly years does Portis have? Two? Three? The physical way he plays you've got to wonder. Colston looks legit and may be a stud for a decade. For me, I'd want to trade Colston for a RB who is young and who doesn't appear to have as much mileage on him. Right now, guys like Addai, Maroney, Ronnie Brown, Stephen Jackson, Kevin Jones and Frank Gore fit that bill pretty well.Traded Colston Saturday night in a package for Portis...
Yeah I agree, in a dynasty league, I would have been looking for one of the younger RBs in return. This is a redraft league, however and after numerous trades, I was 4 strong at WR, having Holt,Harrison,RoyWilliams, so I was willing to part with Colston. Part 2 of the kicker in this was that I traded for Portis to replace McGahee/Atrain.Ouch.

I've got him in a dynasty league, and I think that the only players straight up I'd consider trading him for would be:ManningHoltSteve SmithS. JacksonRonnie BrownKevin JonesLTLJObviously you've got the risk of this season being an aberation for Colston, but considering his age, skill set, and surrounding cast, it's tough to think that he won't be a top 10-15 FF wideout for years to come. The thought of getting a future stud RB in Brown, Jackson or Jones, or getting a sure thing stud WR with some more mileage in Holt or Smith is the only thing that would really get me to consider moving him. I'm not sure I'd consider moving him straight up for an Addai or Maroney right now - because you just don't know how they'll hold up as feature backs. Both are certainly showing promise, but I think I favor the rookie who is already producing at an elite level, not just showing the potential to possibly do it in the future.ETA: I'd have to add Andre Johnson and possibly Roy to the list...IMO these 3 will be the new "big 3" WRs in the league within a few years.Ouch.

My best move was picking him up off the waiver wire from the fool who dropped him.
Ditto.
