Well, I typically lead the league in trades in pretty much every league I play in and most are initiated by me, so there's zero fear of making an offer. Updating the trade bait is just a way of sparking additional interest. This is a new league for me so haven't got a feel for all the league members as of yet. But I believe I have made more trades than anyone else in this league since I took over the team.What do you expect value wise for either Irving or McCaffrey? Just putting players on the block and expecting offers may require more from you and may need for you to make some offers since it is you that wants to trade. I admit making an offer for Nacua went against your trade bait. If there is one thing I’ve learned, is that a lot of people want others to make the first offer even though they are the ones who want to trade. Not saying this is you, but I’m amazed at how many are scared to make offers, even if it is them wanting to trade, or just refuse to. Have you sent out any offers after posting your players on the block? Or are you just waiting for offers from others? Have you had any private discussions for what value you're expecting for your players on the block? I would say that 99% of the trades I make are offers I initiate, or after having some discussion about expectations from a trade, not just what position I seek. For some reason I very seldom make a trade where someone makes me an offer and I make a lot of trades. Sometimes I may get a counter that I accept, but the first offer almost always comes from me. That tells me that people may want to trade, but don't like to make the first offer. We could actually do a deep dive on that pyschology.Ha. Same thing happened to me last night. Unfortunately, it was my copy of Puka for Zay Flowers, a late 2026 2nd (team is stacked) and a late 4th. So far off I didn't even counter.Coming out of no where, got an offer for me to trade away Puca.
This offer came in right after I updated my trade bait putting CMC and Bucky out there and stating I was looking for WRs![]()
This might be the league that you are in now that I think about it
