I have more serviceable RBs than I can start, so my main strategy is to package 2 together and in return get a single, better RB.
The Tom Brady owner in my league wants to trade me for Brett Favre. I like the swap, but I want to hold out for an RB upgrade as well.
The best offer I came up with was the following:
Tom Brady and De Shaun Foster
for
Brett Favre, Reuben Droughns, & Travis Henry
The offer was rejected, but I think we were close.
Should I make another offer (giving in a little more) or cut off trade talks this week considering that my guys have better matchups this week and could have more value when I offer the same trade next week?

Thanks, Wannabee!
I do not even like that deal. As bas as Droughns as been, he is still pretty equal to Foster. I see Foster's value going down over this year ... either for injury or lack of production. If Chambers has another clunker and Bryant a decent game, I might float out the swap at QB and swapping the WRs.But, after thinking about it, I am not so sure Brady will outproduce Favre. I think Favre has another good game Monday night. Then, the guy (with Brady playing conservative vs Cincy) might offer you a sweatheart deal.
A different coach just offered me:Ronnie Brown
for
Brett Favre
Thomas Jones
Reuben Droughns
It seems like he's asking for too much...but I've got more RBs than I can play right now and I think R. Brown would be an upgrade over T. Jones or R. Droughns. I'm not crazy about the thought of giving up B. Favre either, although I do still have R. Grossman. His QBs are K. Warner and J. Plummer, so I really wouldn't want to ask for one of those guys.
