TO prob has 2-3 more years left. I think you are best off still with the trading away of Willis. I would look at trading Tiki only if I could get a RB like Norwood or DWilliams and a decent pick or college player. You still have decent RBs to make a run.Now to option 1. I would do it if I could get Portis or Bush (PPR, iirc). I think this is a no brainer. This is a cheap price for a top 5 player in dynasty. I would stay FAR away from Caddy. This would be my top option with the one above as my second best option.The key will be how you play this. Do not let anyone smell desperation or a fire sale. This will discount the price they are willing to pay. Hope this helps.

So far, I'm still waiting on the Portis deal. The Reggie Bush owner declined, noting "Tiki is retiring and TO is too unpredictable." Just curious, why stay FAR away from Caddy in a dynasty league? Do you think Tampa's issues are more him or do you see the problems taking years to fix? What about Julius Jones for Tiki and TO? The owner who has JJ is fighting for the wild card spot in our league he might bite.Regarding option #2. As a backup plan, which of the following do you prefer, Tiki Barber for:1. Maurice Jones-Drew and a late 1st round pick 2. Leon Washington and a late 1st round pick3. Jerius Norwood and a late 1st round pick4. Marion Barber III and mid to late 1st round pickThere's also another angle I thought of... I could trade Tiki and TO for a better WR in a dynasty format. Say someone along the lines of Torry Holt, Steve Smith, Andre Johnson? Where would this plan fall in the spectrum of choices?Thanks.

A few GREAT choices here. Personally there are some choices that jump out to me. In order, I would choose:a. Steve Smith for Tiki and TO. This would be a huge deal trading, in essence, WilLis and a late 1st for Smith. This is a HUGE deal for you if possibleb. Same goes for Holt. I like Smith a little more, but Holt is a great option.c. Norwood and the pick. Dunn will be 32 years old in January.d. MBarber and the pick. Barber is playing well and Julius is not exactly a bastian of good health.e. Drew and the pick. Many are higher on Drew than I am, but he looks to be a strong PPR option.The options c, d, and e are good options and make the trade for Tiki and TO a great one. It would mean that you basically trade Willis for TO and a young RB prospect, assuming the picks wash or close).I think any of these choices are very good and still do not inhibit your chances at the title while allowing you to build for the future.FYI, if there was an initial dynasty PPR draft today, this is the approximate pick for all of the players mentioned which will help in deciphering my stuff above:Smith 1.12Holt 2.03Willis 2.10Tiki 4.05TO 3.12Barber 6.01Norwood 6.01Drew 6.01The young RBs would all depend on personal choice, but all three have tremendous upside.

Would you also put Chad Johnson, Andre Johnson and Anquan Boldin in the "good option category"? I'd bet most of the owner of these guys would be willing to make a move for Tiki and TO. Thanks!

 

[wannabee]

i would not do it for AJohnson, even though he has played well. Boldin is still a notch below Holt and Smith, as is CJohnson, imo. I know most disagree on CJ, but I like Holt and Smith a ton in PPR.

What about in an non-PPR? My league is non-PPR, but you might have just been saying that anyway. I'm guessing that your opinion wouldn't change on any of the guys we're discussing, but just to make sure.

I am sorry I missed that. Then downgrade Holt a tad and Drew a tad. Still worth it, but it makes the Norwood, Barber, and Smith options that much more attractive.

[wannabee]

Hey WB...I am going to drop A Smith and grab another QB....I have Leinart and Grossman which equals crap!So.....on the WW are Big Ben (or do I grab Charlie Batch) is Ben going to play next week???Losman-Huard-BJohnson-Harrington.....woe is me!I was leaning towards Big Ben but now its a wait and see on his concussionThanks for listening to this sad tale of QB's

Leinart and Grossman will bounce back and be fine. I think both will definitely be startable the rest of the season.

I would pick up Romo, though and drop ASmith, Romo looks good.

Hey Wannabee,

So I'm striking out left and right trying to move Tiki and TO.

I did get this offer LaMont Jordan and a mid round pick. But, this is a non-starter right? It's a dynasty league and assuming I'm out of the playoffs, so I'd basically be trading TO for Jordan. I wanted to run this one by you. This is the owner who has Portis so essentially this is his counter. Thoughts?

i would not do that at all. TO will be decent for another couple of years and should outscore Jordan.

Thanks that's what I figured, but thought I'd check. People in my league are really down on Tiki because of the retirement and TO because of the QB question. However, I think Romo is an upgrade over Bledsoe for Owens. But as a Pats fan, I'm down on Bledsoe as I know his faults.Would you trade Tiki for Leon Washington, Wali Lundy or Musa Smith and a late first round draft pick? I'm still waiting on the Steve Smith owner to get back to me but he owns each of these players. So that is a possible counter option.

I do not like any of those at this time. I do not know when your trade deadline is, but I would wait before i took a low offer like that. I can see some more injuries happening with every week.

 

[Gandalf]

I've decided to pass on all deals for now. Maybe I can get hot and win out? I bet if I did that I'd be in the playoffs. Anyway, I shouldn't be giving up until I'm eliminated. No matter how bleak it looks, there is always hope. If I don't get the deal that I like, I'll wait. And T.O. could be very productive for a few more years. Assuming he keeps his head on straight. Thanks for all your help, WB.

Hey, Wannbee! You may recall us discussing my having LJ as a value keeper and going after LT2 at auction. Much valued your input then, so here I am again...

Lead 12 team $200 auction cap keeper performance league(.5/rec all TD's 6) in ttl points, but am mired at 3-4. Dumb luck! Anyway, looking to shake some things up. LJ's playoff schedule is rough, my QB production has been just "okay", and my TE numbers have been almost nil.

Looking to trade with 2-5 team in the bottom of my division. Player salaries go up $4.00 if kept. A team out of the playoffs can keep 4 players, playoff teams 3, runner up 2 and the champ only 1.

Mine:

Favre $7.00

Kitna $5.00

Smith $0.00

Johnson $11.00 KEEPER

Morency $1.00

Tomlinson $101.00

White $10.00

Holt $33.00

Johnson $2.00

Owens $25.00 KEEPER

Franks $1.00

Lewis $1.00

Gould $0.00

Kasay $4.00

Falcons $2.00

His:

Manning, Eli $28.00

Pennington $0.00

Barber $28.00 KEEPER

Jacobs $4.00

Jones-Drew $0.00

McGahee $10.00 KEEPER

Boldin $35.00

Bryant $3.00

Evans $16.00

Johnson $38.00

Clark $0.00

McMichael $10.00

Brown $18.00

Wilkins $3.00

Giants $2.00

I'm thinking of offering LJ, LenDale White and say Favre for the retiring Tiki(no keeper value), Manning(a little expensive for a keeper QB) and Desmond.

Your thoughts on this from both my perspective and his?

TIA

Edited to add that it is Eli, not Peyton involved here...

I do see how you have issues at TE. I have a league like this also. But, here is how I see the issues:a. Kitna is outproducing Eli in the leagues I am in, and he is very cheap. Kitna is on bye this week and Favre has an easy match up, so no big deal.b. In this league, I would not keep an expensive QB. In my opinion, people keep QBs in keeper leagues and they should not do so. Those keepers, imo, should be RBs and WRs since you can always get a QB cheap like you did with Kitna and Favre. c. I think I would not get rid of LJ in that deal. I would want a LOT more for LJ. Lj holds a ton of value with so few Stud RBs left. In addition, I would think you would want to keep LJ and LT for next year if possible.d. To address the TE, I would still look at Clark. I think you might be able to offer White for Clark. You might have to thrown in a TE since he will have McMike on Bye this week. The other owner might want to wait a week. But, I expect Clark to have a good game. Hope this helps.

Hey, here it goes:Grossman should be huge against the NinersSince it is PPR and you have 3 difficult matchups, I would go with the RB most likely to get catches: Bush and GoreI would like Housh and Walker best at WR and they have great matchups. Then, it comes down to Glenn or Wayne. Glenn has the better matchup, but I would go with Wayne ... always start your studs.Hope this helps.

Westy, Tatum, Housh, Driver, and the flex is the tough one. I might look at MBarber for upside. Last week was his worst game in the last few. Call it a hunch. If not, take Glenn. I owuld choose Clark over Watson and Carolina Defense getting turnovers vs Romo.

WB,I have some tough decisions this weekend and was looking for some input.

Scoring system: 8 pts per rushing/receiving td 1 pt per 10 yds rushing/receiving

I need to pick 2 out of the following rb's:

Taylor (not crazy about the matchup)

Lundy (too soon to start him?)

Caddy (yardage has been consistent)

Benson (i remember when Turner was supposed to get clean up duty)

I also need to pick 2 out of the following wr's:

Galloway

Glenn

Kennison

Muhammad

Gabriel

Reggie Williams

As always,thanks in advance !! Have a great weekend !!

I would play Taylor easily. The next one is tough for me to decide between Caddy and Benson. I am not a Lundy believer. On this one, I would probably go with Benson since you get more points than most for TDs. I see Benson with 50 total yards and a TD. On the WRs, I would go with Galloway for sure. And, the other one would come down to either Gabriel or Reg Williams. I would watch the weather report for the Philly/Jax game. They expect high winds. If so, I would go with Gabriel. I might go with Gabriel anyway, especially with Garrard expected to start.

wannabee,

Bulger or Favre this week?

Nornally, Bulger would be a no-brainer, but he's going against a tough San Diego D, with Merriman still playing through an appeal.

Hello WB,

I've got a new offer. So I'm 4-4 after winning this week. 4 games back in my division and 2 games back in the wild card. Based on the schedules and the teams I'm facing, I'd say that I have a 1% chance of catching the divisional and a 25% chance of catching the wild card leaders. I'm on the outside looking in. I can still make the playoffs, but it's unlikely. With that as the backdrop, I've gotten the following offer.

I give: Tiki Barber, Chester Taylor and Lee Evans

I get: Reggie Bush

I know it sounds crazy, but Tiki likely is gone after this year. And isn't Reggie still a top RB in a dynasty league? In terms of rankings anyway. So I'd be trading in essence, Taylor and Evans for Bush which seems reasonable. This isn't a PPR league, which reduces Bush's value, but won't NO attempt to make Reggie the featured back?

I would not do that deal in a non-PPR league. I know it looks sexy, but it is not. You would be giving up way too much. Sorry, I wish I had a better answer for you.

That's a good answer and why I wanted to run it by you. I tend to get seduced by younger players, especially RBs as we start 3 and good ones are so rare. At least I won this week and am now back to .500

Another owner offered me

Randy Moss, LenDale White, and a top 3 college draft pick

For

Chester Taylor and Terrell Owens

With our college roster, Unavailabe college players that would be draft eligible: AD, Marshawn Lynch, Kenny Irons, Michael Bush, Brady Quinn. These guys cannot be drafted.

Everyone else is up for grabs including ALL wide receivers. That means I could get Calvin Johnson or Tedd Ginn Jr. with the draft pick that he's giving up. Or a RB like Tony Hunt Penn State, Brian Leonard Rutgers, Antonio Pittman OSU, Selvin Young Texas or another RB prospect not on the list above.

I turned it down because it seemed like too much. If T.O. and Randy Moss are similar in value. Then I would have been trading Taylor for White and a top 3 pick.

The owner now wants to know if I have a counter offer. Can you help me construct a fair offer that helps me be more competitive for next year? His team is below:

QB: D Bledsoe, T Romo, V Young

RB: W McGahee, W Parker, L White, V Haynes, S Gado, S Davis

WR: R Moss, Reggie Williams, D Mason, D Gabriel,

TE: Des Clark

K: A Vinatieri, O Mare

D: Cowboys, Bengals

Thank you for your advice.

Since I see Willis, I assume this is the guy that you got Tiki and TO from. I value TO higher than Moss, and I think this owner does, too, after last night's game. Admittedly, many value Chester more than I do, but I recognize his "market value" as pretty high. I do not know how you like/value LenDale. With the Haynes injury yesterday, White is his RB3 and he does not like it, even though he has the two young RBs in Parker and Willis. Here are a few options for offers:Chester for White and the pick

TO for Moss and the pick

Even though I think they are reasonable, do not be surprised if he asks for a little more or does not like these offers. I would think that getting Moss and Calvin Johnson for TO would be a great deal. The Chester offer seems very fair for a RB whom many consider top 10-12 for dynasty. You may or may not like this depending on how much/little you like White. It seems as though views on White are very polarized. I like the TO/Moss offer best.

Yes, you are correct about this being the owner. Good memory. My thoughts on White are that he will be given a chance to shine in Tenn this year, but it might not happen until Travis Henry cools off. Next year, I think it's likely that Chris Brown is gone, and possibly Henry, which would greatly boost White's value. However, probably not to the Chester Taylor level, but maybe if he's the #1 RB. And I'm sure I could get more for Taylor as you pointed out. I'm inclined to agree with you that the better of the two deals is the first one. My strategy is to give the owner the choice of either deal because I think it increases the chance for success. He'll probably like one deal better than the other and be more willing to take the 'bird in the hand' than counter again. Thanks for the insight. It was really helpful, as always. I'll keep you posted on how things go.

 

[Packers4ever]

I have P. Rivers but Kitna is still on the FA list, is he a better play for the next two weeks then Rivers would be, my starting QB is Hasselbeck which is out for atleast 2 more weeks maybe 3.

River's schedule is Clev, @Cin, & @ Den.

Kitna's schedule is Atl, SF. & Arz.

Or do I pickup Kitna and keep Rivers and play the matchup with the two. I would either have to drop Rivers or Rackers to do this.

What do you think.

 

[Gandalf]

As an update he bit on Taylor for LenDale White and the top 3 (and likely the #1) college draft pick.

I'm happy with it. Obviously I take a hit this year, but my starting lineup is still okay. And White will be given a chance to succeed in Tenn. There's a reason he was drafted by Norm Chow and crew in the second round last year. And Chris Brown (and maybe even Travis Henry) likely will be on another team next year. The draft pick could be gold as well as I now have the draft picks of the 3 last place teams in our division and 1 mid round pick.

For me, this is a tough one for a couple of reasons. I believe that the reason Kitna has been putting up huge numbers is because the Lions have been playing from behind. With those games, Detroit should win at least one, maybe two of those which might diminish his upside. But, AZ and SF are horrible on defense vs the pass. And Atl is not as strong defensively (for fantasy, imo) as in the past. Rivers, on the other hand, has soft matchups vs Cleve and Cincy but Denver is good against the pass (unless Indy ). I think this is very close and probably depends on your team. If you have a strong team and just need a consistent production at QB, I would go with Rivers. He has been good for 200 yds and 1-2 TDs/game. But, if you need to take a chance at QB for the upside because your team is .500, I would take a chance on Kitna. Best case scenario is pick up Kitna. Play Rivers versus Cleve and then drop and play Kitna against the other two matchups. I think a lot depends on injuries. If KJ goes down, Kitna's value skyrockets.

To be honest, I do not see anything on his roster that would make me want to drop from TO to Moss. Romo is really keying on TO and making his value soar. You do not need Reggie Williams or the other WRs. And I am sure he would not part with his top 3 Rbs and you do not want his other 3.

The only thing I could think of would be if he had a college player you really wanted. Is this team in contention? From the looks of his roster, it looks like he is an average team looking to next year.

Those were my sentiments as well. I'm very happy to keep T.O. especially the last couple of games. I think Romo targeted him 16 times on Sunday night. That seems like a great number to me.Interestingly this owner's team is 1-7. He just hates college players and draft picks. Which is why his team is struggling this year.

Hey WB,

I'm in a 12-team auction/keeper league with the following roster restrictions. We must keep 3 QBs, 4 RBs, 4 WRs, 2 TEs, 2 PKs & 2 D/ST. I am currently at 7-1 in my divisioin, have the best record in the league and second in total points by 1 point. Total points leader each week gets $20 and second gets $10. (Finished 1st twice and 2nd once so far this season.) Also, the total points leader pays out at the end of the year along with Superbowl winner, runner-up and third place. Because of the total points pay out, I'm always looking for ways to maximize my point totals each week.

I have my line-up set for this week except for the D/ST. D/ST in out league get 2 points for each turnover (Int & Fum Rec), 2 points for a sack, 4 points for holding opposing team under 200 yds passing, 4 points for holding opposing team under 100 yds rushing, 5 points for a shutout and 6 points for a D/ST TD. My roster currently contains Denver and Cincinnati. Denver @ Pittsburgh and Cincinnati @ Baltimore I feel are tough match-ups. Waiver wire D/ST include (Available teams are in Italic):

Oak @ Sea

Mia @ Chi

Tenn @ Jac

Det vs Atl

TB vs NO

SF vs Min

Was vs Dal

Hou @ NYG

Of the WW matchups, I am intrigued with Oak D/ST vs a Seattle team w/o Hasslebeck and SA. I would probably drop Cincinnati's D/ST to pick up a WW team. What are your thoughts?

Hi, this is a 12 team redraft league. we start 1qb, 2rb, 2wr,1flex-rb/wr/te, 1te, 1 pk and 1 def.

my roster:

D Brees J Delhomme

A Green L Johnson J Norwood D McAllister L Washington

M Colston J Cotchery A Boldin R Brown C Henry R Wayne M Muhammad

T Gonzalez

N Kaeding

D Vikings

I am thinking of trading a wr or 2 to improve on another postion. Not sure what the best move is. The team with Bulger and Vick is looking to trade one of them. After Delhomme's last game maybe that is a consideration. Would you trade Colston for either? if not who? I would like to trade Brown but I think his value is dropping.

I just traded Maroney for Wayne but maybe looking for another rb. Should I look for another def? Vikes got beat up by NE but still got me 13 points, they are the 3rd best def in our league.

What are my weaknesses for weeks 14-16?

If I get in the playoffs-only the top 2 in each divison advance and I am tied for first-my oppenent has:

B Roethlisberger D McNabb

W Dunn S Alexander B Westbrook D Williams C Perry M Bennett

Reg Williams S Smith T Holt J Shockey R McMichael

R Gould

D Bengals D Ravens

It will be tough to get past his team

Thanks for your advice. Great job!!

Hi WB,

I've got an offer from an owner for Tiki. He's offering Jamal Lewis and Musa Smith. I think both might be free agents after this year. Is this a good offer or is Jamal's career over? This owner is thinking the latter, which is why he's making him available, but this could be a good buy low opportunity. What do you think?

The owner's team is below, and I could counter:

QB: Marc Bulger, Brett Favre, Aaron Rogers

RB: Shaun Alexander, Rudi Johnson, Jamal Lewis, Wali Lundy, Leon Washington, Musa Smith

WR: Steve Smith, Marvin Harrison, Joe Horn, Michael Jenkins

TE: Tony Gonzalez

K: Scobee

DST: Bears, Pats

I think it comes down to Denver at Pitt or Oak vs Seattle. Those are the two best options for turnovers and less than 200 yds. Denver is good against the run which matches up to Pitt's strength and Ben will get sacked a couple of times, but I think I would go with Oak. Their defense has been playing great lately. It is very close. In a tight choice, I would go with Oakland since they are playing well and you should get at least a couple of turnovers, no sacks, and maybe less than 200 yds.

Great job!!

Thank you. Here are some random thoughts:I think you should try to trade Delhomme and Colston for Vick or Bulger. Each should outproduce Jake by quite a bit and Colston should not start too much for you. Your weakness, if there is one, will be RB depth. I say that because we are half way through the season. LJ is a must start each week. Green has been playing well, too, but he does carry injury risk. If Green goes down, I would not want to ride Deuce, Norwood, or Leon every week even though each has very good potential. If you make the deal for a QB upgrade, I would not trade away your WR depth. The ability to start Boldin and Wayne each week is a great start. Your team can beat that other team. Your team is very strong. I like your team best of the two. I would keep Minny defense.I would probably try the deal for a qb with reg brown and delhomme first then go up to colston if need be. That would be a great move if so. I like the Maroney for Wayne deal. I think you are only a couple of moves away. I would look to upgrade QB and look to add RB depth. By RB depth, I mean a RB like Morency who should be cheap with his latest injury. Hope this helps.

I think I would try to get Leon, too, to go with Jamal and Musa. If so, that would be great value. I think you might have to throw in something small to get Leon. Jamal, who has looked bad this year, is still a young back with potential.

I like the suggestion. I agree with rbs being weak. Thanks again. It is helpful to get a different point of view.

Grossman. Miami is great versus run, and coming off of bye might put up a good fight making Grossman throw more. Ron Brown and Gore are easy decisions for me with Bush nicked upI would sit Glenn with Romo at QB. it looks like Romo keys on TO and Witten and no love for Glenn. Watson, easily, and Oak defense.

 

[rascal]

My team:

Bulger/Brady

Ronnie Brown, Chester Taylor, W Dunn, W Lundy, C Perry, K Barlow, J Fargas

M Colston, D Driver, S Moss, D Mason

B Watson

J Brown

Patriots D, Packers D (for this week only).

If I can find anything of value I'm dropping J Fargas and K Barlow for TE and WR depth. Probably drop Fargas for V Davis.

The scoring is this:

1 pt per 10 rushing/receiving (25 passing)

6 pt per TD (4 for passing)

1 pt per 3 receptions

3 pt bonus for 100 rushing/receiving (300 passing).

My division sucks and despite being 3-5 I'm somehow in first place (although third highest scorer). Playoffs are weeks 13-16.

I need to upgrade my WR's, and I'd like to trade one of my QB's with Driver or Moss for a top 10 WR. Which QB and WR would you trade and what WR's would you try to target for that combo?

I think the only guy that I can really trade with (needs a QB and WR's are decent enough) has this for his roster:

Garrard, Pennington, Rivers

A Green, Rudi, Willis, Vernand, A Thomas

B Edwards, Andre Johnson, N Washington, Reggie Williams, Roy WIlliams

Desmond Clark, C Anderson

Vinatieri

Panthers D

I was thinking of offering Brady and S Moss for Pennington and Roy Williams. Thoughts?

Is this redraft or dynasty?I like your deal/offer above But, I might look at a Brady/SMoss for AJohnson/Penny. Then, take Roy if the other owner balks. I like AJohnson better than Roy this year. He has been tearing it up this season. Even though I was not a believer at the beginning of the season, I think he offers a ton of value right now. Roy is injury-prone and probably not too much of an upgrade over SMoss. One last thought would be to offer a Perry/SMoss for Roy or Andre and use the QBs to upgrade RBs in a trade with another team. This team has Rudi and probably would love Perry.I would think that if you are willing to do a 2-for-1 deal with Brady/SMoss, you could get any WR other than Holt, SSmith, Fitz, or maybe CJ. The two WRs I might target would be Harrison since his owner is probably ticked that Wayne is getting all of the action. And, TO. I know that sounds odd. But, Romo is really targetting TO a ton.Hope this helps.

Hey Wannabee,

If I were to try and pry LaDanian Tomlinson from an owner, what do you see as a maximum offer on my part, using the team in my signature?

The other owner's team. He's pretty stacked and in first in his division, but I think would trade him for a great offer:

QB: McNabb, McNair

RB: LT, LJ, Ahman Green, Fred Taylor

WR: Holt, Wayne, Burress, Antonio Bryant, Lelie

TE: Heap, Witten

I might be able to turn some of my depth into arguably the best RB in the game. As I'm probably out of the playoffs this year does it make sense to try and get LT for next year or should I let my young guys develop?

Thanks for your help.

I think the first two options are very good for your team, but the other owner may not go for it. The third offer I think s very fair and square. Bryant would help you, but he is only downgrading a little to pick up Barlow .. who has been a TD vulture this season.

Your Team

12 team dynasty keeper league (13 players kept). Bonus pts awarded for long TDs. No PPR:

QB (start 1): Carson Palmer

RB (3): Steven Jackson, Ronnie Brown, Laurence Maroney, Jamal Lewis, LenDale White, Michael Turner, Musa Smith, Michael Robinson

WR (3): Terrell Owens, Larry Fitzgerald, Roy Williams, Lee Evans, Brandon Marshall, Mike Williams

TE (1): Ben Watson

DEF (1): Bills

K (1): Jay Feely

I think you need to look at who you want as your key, core players for the future. Since the guy is stacked and doing very well, I think it would take a ton to pry LT from me. I like Carson, Maroney, White, Turner, Fitz, Roy Evans, and Watson. I would also try to keep one of your 2 stud Rbs if possible.

I think I would start with:

Ronnie Brown

Jamal Lewis (or Tiki)

TO

(2) of your 1st rounders (your two worst ones)

For

LT

(2) throw ins

I think that is a very strong offer but does not affect your young core but gives you a star RB to upgrade your RB1 and you only give up Lewis (or Tiki) and TO, plus the picks, to do so. Having Turner makes getting LT worth more to you. You could use your 1st rounders for WRs and RB depth. You have good, young, RBs, a great QB and TE, and young WRs. I do not know if you think this is giving up too much or too little, but I think this is strong offer.

What are your thoughts on this offer?

I know it's costly but I like the offer. To me, it seems like it makes sense to get LT on my team as long as I'm not giving up too much young talent where I'm hurting my long term future too much. But LT is still only going to be 28 next year so he should have 2-3 more years of being a top back.This offer might make more sense in the offseason though when the other owner has more incentive to get rid of a stud RB like LT.

Nonetheless, I'm going to make the offer and see how things develop. I think it's a strong offer that he'd have to consider. Thanks for the advice, I'll keep you posted.

EDIT: So at the end of the day, would you make this offer if you were me? I'm trying to make myself better for next year. Does this accomplish that? I just wrote it down and am having trouble sending the offer because I'm giving up a lot. But I recognize that's what it takes to get a guy like LT. I think I should gauge popular opinion, so I'm going to post this as a poll and see how it comes out.

EDIT 2: I sent the offer.
