What would make you part with LJ? (1 Viewer)

I expect him to get hammered the next 2 weeks, first against an angry Steeler team and then beat up by the Chargers. If you are ever going to sell him, now may be the time. Anybody get offers worth considering? Or are you just gonna ride it out no matter what?

 
Only analogy I have is that I have LT and there isn't a reasonable price anyone could pay for him.

Portis or Rudi would have to be a part of the deal. And a strong upgrade with the second players in the deal.
 
Someone would have to offer me Rudi plus Peyton for JUST Tomlinson for me to think about it.

Wow, I totally disagree with this then. Isn't there a saying about not marrying any of your players? All players have trade value. You're saying LT is untradeable then.Not trying to argue, but this seems to me to be pretty normal thinking in many leagues. Redraft leagues where a guy is 1-4 and turning down offers for LT like...D. Foster, Chester Taylor, and Grossman for LT. When a guy has an obvious need at RB and QB. LT alone will not score enough points to win.He'd rather go down with LT so he has a story to tell his buddies, I guess.
 
If I were 1-4, I'd take the Peyton/Rudi deal for LJ plus Bulger.

I'm 4-1 in the league I own LT and you would have to pry him from my cold dead hands.

That's a crappy offer.You must offer him a top-5 guy at one position, not a bunch of guys that will end the year flirting with the #12 or lower spot at their positions.

Right, it depends on the situation. But to say no offer would be good enoughm is a fallacy IMHO.
 
no reasonable offer would be good enough.

Offering something "fair" won;t do it - you'd have to "wow" me.

Actually If this person was in need of a QB, Taylor, Foster and Grossman sounds very enticing especially in a deep league. My league has 14 players and this would be favorable to a LT owner who has a need for a solid QB. Of course the thread was about LJ - but same logic would apply.

This poster isn't asking about LT fellas.

I'm an LJ owner and I wouldn't part with him in a keeper or dynasty league PERIOD. I think he is unique and fun to watch. I just get too much enjoyment watching him pound the opposition on Sundays to give him up. KC will right the ship and get him some O-line help in the offseason.

In a re-draft, I would absolutely consider a trade if the price is right. Probably to Marc's point, a top-5 player at another position and another starter if I had a need and some depth at RB behind LJ. Or another top 5-10 RB and another starting caliber player at QB or WR. Man, it's just so hard to say without a specific example. It really all depends on the teams involved.

:goodposting:Offer me Holt/Harrison plus Rudi for LT/LJ plus Colston, we're in business.
 
It is what it is said:
I would trade Larry Johnson for...The Mad ScientistDr I Don't KnowSheriff Gonna GetchaSoutheast JeromeDolla BillReverend Gonna ChangeKid Bro SweetsInspector 2-2Coach Janky SpankyAngel of Southeast JeromeDolamite JenkinsOh yea :hey: , and that Clinton Portis guy too...
another good posting. Portis plus a bag of chips gets ya LJ (I'd trade 'em straight up).Portis plus another starter and we can talk about LT.And, yes, I realize this is a :hijack: but the two players are close enough in value to talk about both.
 
Owner in my league just offered Tiki & Reggie Wayne for LJ (LJ owner is very thin at WR) and was rejected.

 
Sitting at 5-0, the next two weeks of tough D's for LJ don't worry me. Going .500 in my last 8 games will get me into the playoffs and there's no one I'd rather have once I get there for a run at the title. Besides, I have LJ under contract for this year and next at last year's salary. So, to pry LJ away ... naw, it won't happen.

 
I really think his value is relative to your league. In a keeper league (which I am in) I would deal

him for another top rb (ie- SJAX,portis and maybe rudi) and a rookie rb (Addai,Maroney and maybe

Norwood) and/or a high draft pick. I've watched all of the Chiefs games so far this year and outside the

Niners game (which he ran 30x) and some nice games receiving he has looked rough running

behind that o-line. His value has fallen far enough where unless you include another top player you

wouldnt be able to get LT. Trust me,I've tried.

:goodposting: I am a LT owner in a Keeper league. Everyone complains that I'm too hard to deal with when it comes to LT. I'll trade him, but if you want him your going to overpay.

No kidding, why did you bring LT in it Levin? Talk about hijacking a thread....Let's get back on topic.I have LJ and was offered Holt and Ahman Green for LJ and Driver, I balked at the deal but would do the deal if he would take Williamson instead of Driver. I think that's a fair trade.

LT and LJ are comparable players. Really the only two RB's you can compare to each other. I don't think your trade is fair at all,your talking the #1 or #2 player in FF, someone really needs to blow my doors off for me to think about moving such a consistent performer.
 
I actually started a thread last week about this. Hoping he would have an amazing game against SF would've helped his value to those who were weary about trading for him.

I am in a league where we can start 3 RB's and already have FWP and Chester on my roster.

I was looking to try and move LJ for someone like Rudi or a packaged deal, but looking at his schedule, the playoff weeks are much to good to pass up.

Will LJ struggle against the Chargers and Pittsburgh, yes, but is he worth holding on to, yes.

I am keeping him unless I get an outstanding offer for him.

With Trent Green coming back soon, I think that will help him out a little.

Hopefully the Chiefs will be playing from behind in the 4th quarter which will open thing up for some cheap receiveing yards and a score or two.

 
You're all talking about a guy who rushed for about 30 yards against Arizona right? And you're all going to turn down offers of Rudi + Harrison + Manning? And everyone who speaks against LJ are idiots? Interesting.

 
The only reason I would ever trade LJ away would be if head was actually ripped clean off by Antrel Rolle.

 
The only trades I would consider for LJ are a top QB and a really good RB. I'm weak at QB, so something like a Manning(either)/McNabb with SJax/FWP. That would have to be the price or no deal.

A little sensitive, aren't we? I don't recall anyone in this thread calling people idiots for speaking against LJ.And last I checked, receiving counts in fantasy football (see Westbrook) and sometimes more (like a PPR).
 
I just traded Larry Johnson/Keyshawn Johnson/Bryant Johnson for LaDainian Tomlinson/Darrell Jackson/Larry Fitzgerald.

LT2's remaining schedule is more favorable in my opinion.

I like the trade.

I don't know who would turn down a Rudi+Marvin+Peyton offer, dynasty, redraft or whatever, and I don't think that anyone who speaks against LJ is an idiot - I can see the obvious question marks as clearly as anyone else.The point to most of this is that he's very good, he's young, he's a running back and even though he's not putting up the insane numbers he did last year - it would take a huge offer to pry him away. I know you were just making a point and that wasn't a real offer (If someone in your league is really offering Rudi+Marvin+Peyton, you've found a guppy that drafted a good team and you should fleece him), but is it that hard to see why people would want to hang on to LJ? He's had his bye already and is still leading all RB's in my league with 65 points - and that's with the crappy O-line, no QB, Herm at the helm, etc.As for his 30 yards vs. ARZ, he also went over 100 receiving and added a TD.
 
Depending on your league and situation, the sneaky play is to make one of these deals and get the CHI defense as part of it. With their schedule and the way they are playing, they could be a 5-10ppg increase and make it worthwhile to take the hit at RB. Of course the other owner would probably never go for it.

Again, it comes down to the fact that you'd need to overpay to get a guy like that.

 
In a redraft, last week I gave up LJ, Jenkins, Witten for Rudi, Roy Williams, Heap.

I was happy. Fair deal for both sides, I think.
