You’re right. I thought it was a higher buy-in.
I heard some other Empire leagues do not any trading at all for the defending champ to try and prevent collusion of the whole "split the pot" with the trader
Rock solid. I don’t mind losing Pacheco, Geno, or the 3.12
Why would the Chase owner possibly do this?
In a 1 QB league it’s not really a critical move but you didn’t give up much so I have no issue with getting Geno to back up Fields.

Congrats on Allen/Hurts to terrorize your league. And you still have JK Dobbins, and you got back a 1.09!
Fingers crossed that Charbonet falls to you there to make this a complete win.
Glad ya stuck to it & got it done - it felt like you were close, and when you’re close to getting such an elite player, dig in and find a way.
I’ll take the 1.01 all day. Easy call.
Feels rock solid to me. I see it as basically Bijan for Tee + TLaw.
I pay Hill+1.11 for Hock in a NY minute.
Ditto! Nice move.
The irony of the whole thing is they are both Clemson alum and I am from Univ South Carolina.. hard pill to swallow on taking an arch-rival!
That is a terrible trade for the Chase owner. He didn't need Andrews as he has Goedert, it's not TE Premium, and Andrews will be hurt the most if Lamar doesn't sign. Also, Olave is good but he isn't anywhere near Chase. Plus, why do you need 1.03 if you already have the top 2 picks in the draft. He hurts his chances now and may not have helped himself a ton in the future to do so.
This is a good move. Sucks to lose Bijan but nothing else there is enough to kill you and you get Josh Allen. Dings the RB room for sure but this seems like a good move to me.
Bijan is just too good not to take here. Maybe after we see where he is drafted if a team though Jacobs would be better this year for a win-now and get picks but give me Bijan.
This would be a smash accept for me. Hock looked great with Captain Kirk and 1.11 isn't going to be a monster most likely. Good move.
1000% this. i don’t get it either.
Wow. That's incredible value moving chase even if it was a 1QB league.
Oof. Horrific.
One QB??? And even 0.5 PPR??
I agree on the value. I’m just not sure he should have done this.
That's how I see it. I think the value is fine but hard to agree with giving up Chase to improve your TE and add depth.
I'm sorry Birdie but I feel the same as Ghostguy. I don't see how you can give up Bijan for that return. In a one QB league Trevor seems like he's about on par with the 1.9. Otton's close to worthless. This feels like Bijan and 2.7 for Tee and 3.7.
Agree. With that team, trading the superstar for good players doesn't make sense
Gimme those picks
Exactly. Especially with so many other assets to move for a TE upgrade and/or depth.
The one detail that made me not mind this deal was the full rebuild part.
I do. Easily. Super easily.
How do you figure?
Appreciate the feedback. I can see some not valuing the deal as my benefit or close to fair, but I am happy.
This brings up an interesting point (maybe a discussion for a different thread). At what point is drafting Bijan a waste? I lucked into the 1.01 for 1.02 and 2.04 earlier this month and I've been really considering flipping the pick. For context, this is a superflex TE-P league with the following roster: QB/RB/WR/TE/SF/5xFlex. As it stands, I'm in the middle of a severe rebuild. The roster was very much bare. Traded for Fields and TLaw before the 2022 season and drafted Walker III. Walker is my only RB worth a crap right now and my WR room is a plethora of #2 WRs and dart throws. Guys like KJ Osborn, Nico Collins, Jakobi Myers, and Mooney. TE Room is solid. So unless I hit hard on some of my WR room dart throws, this team is not competitive. So Bijan tightens the heck out of my RB room, but the WR room is still a mess. At what value point is it reasonable to flip the 1.01 for a young stud WR and picks?
It was my rationale for dealing the 1.01 (that I got relatively cheap) and assets for TLaw in a 16 team SF.
I don't care how much QBs go for in your league. If QBs are overvalued in your league then use that to your advantage. Instead, the opposite happened.
Thanks for the feedback but I am happy with my trade. I view both key players as elite and still rising in performance. I see this as an early Buy Low on TLaw.
