Who are you trying to trade for? (1 Viewer)

[R Dizzle]

All I have to say is I saw an offer of Cutler, Boldin and McFadden for T.O get rejected. The guy rejecting it needs a QB and RB2.

 

[Road Warriors]

trying to get Royal. His price is through the roof right now.

 

[wilson2112]

I was offered MJD and Owen Daniels for Kurt Warner and Tony Schelffler (I have Witten and Brees, but thin at RB). Laughable offer but I turned it around to and offered Warner and Scheffler for Frank Gore OR Willie Parker, his choice. He probably views that as laughable, but I'm hoping that I can do Warner for Chris Johnson with him straight up. We'll see how it goes, but that is why you should always negotiate. I don't think that I would ever turn someone off from ever trading with them again because they give me a laughable offer.

That is insane. I'd trade T.O. in a heartbeat for those guys.

how is mjd for warner and scheffler a laughable offer

Laughable in the sense that he is trying to trade me an injured RB, on a weak offense, whose prognosis is unknown for the #5 scoring QB in my league and the #2 TE both of which have good offenses around them. That help?

I think it's lopsided alright. MJD > Warner and Sheffler in most leagues, regardless of scoring, and whether redraft or dynasty.

 

[PumpusX]

Just offered Julius Jones and Warrick Dunn for LT... the owner is 0-2 and needs to make something happen.. hoping it will at least start negotiations...

Why don't you throw in TJ Duckett--he'll be sure to bite then

I find it interesting that this message board sometimes contradicts itself. Either that, or its a fine line between two things: a low ball offer and a buy-low opportunity. In order to buy low, you are taking a risk of lowballing someone and looking like someone who is trying to take advantage of the other owner.

Case in point: I made an offer to the LT owner who's receivers are Colston, Coles, Mason, and Walker. I offered Ryan Grant and Bowe. Is that a lowball offer or buy low opportunity?

Buy low is offering another 1st-2nd rd RB (Grant), plus a top 20 WR (Bowe) for LT to a team in need at the positionsLow-ball is Julius Jones for LTWhat's the point of the stupid offers? This isn't real estate--fantasy football teams don't face foreclosure

 

[millertyme1]

Good thing some of you aren't trying very hard.

Some of those offers aren't worth counters. Might get a nice laugh.

The key is a healthy MJD for those two. What is his injury status? He's touched the ball 19 times in 2 games! He has 92 total yards in 2 games with 1 score! He's a buy low guy for sure, but not with 2 sell high guys. Scheffler alone has 136 yards and 2 TDs in 2 games with no reason to believe that he's not going to continue to put up good numbers.

I guess its all in the eye of the beholder. The guy laughed at me when I made that offer. I guess he thught it was a lowball offer.

The question is do you think, come years end, that Warner is a top 5 QB? Is Scheffler a top 2 ( or 5 ) TE? I don't.Is MJD injured? I think JAX is down on offense right now, but MJD has proven to be a quality back. I don't think the offer was laughable at all. Personally, I wouldn't take it, because I don't project MJD that high. But many do, and giving hot out of the gate players for more a more proven RB is often the type of deal that can make you better.

Goes back to how you value the players. Underperforming top players like LT still carry a high price tag from the owner believing he'll break out of the slump. You obviously feel he's going to return to LT form or you wouldn't be offering. If he feels the same way, why make the move. Still, an honest assessment of this offer would lead me to think it was a legit buy low type offer, and would either be worth a counter or a clear LT is not available message. Nothing insulting about this, IMO.

Maybe laughable wasn't the right way to term this offer. Given the current circumstances (MJD injury status and weak offense vs two players playing at a high level) I feel like it was a lowball offer. We'll see though.

 

[EFD]

I threw out Brandon Jacobs and Michael Turner for LT, but that didn't go far.

 

[Timmay]

Just offered S Jax and Derrick Mason for Frank Gore - what you think?

After Brady went down, I've been trying to trade for a better QB. No one will touch MJD when i dangle him, even in combination.

 

[Routilla]

I traded Cassel for Colston. I have Rodgers, Warner and Kitna at QB and S Smith, A Johnson and B Edwards at WR. When I get Colston back I am running the 4 WR set with C Johnson at RB. I am hoping to reinvent Air Coryell in FF terms. Of course this could turn into Jerry Glanville's "Chuck and Duck" just as easily.

 

[Bunky]

moved deangelo for forte before week 1. moved forte and a rd 3 pick in 09 redraft for gore before week 2. start 2 rb's with sjax and gore with cjohnson flex/bye week filler. wasn't specifically targetting gore, but pleased with the end result.

 

[fasteddie_21]

I'm trying to trade away Moss & LJ for JStew and Boldin.

 

[dagwood]

I tried making a play for Rodgers last week (guy has McNabb) but owner wanted to hold off due to questions about McNabb's health. After Rodgers play last Sunday, I'm not even sure he is worth targeting due to inflated price.

What were you prepared to offer?I'm trying to dump this guy since I've got Cutler and they both have the same bye week.I was going to try playing matchups, but after starting rodgers both weeks only to have cutler top him against harder competition, I am definitely ready to stick it out with Cutler the rest of the season.Nobody in my league seems very interested though.

^^^I'm in the same position (started Rodgers both weeks because of matchups, have decided to just roll with Cutler now). I spent all last week trying to deal Rodgers with what I thought were very fair offers, to try and get what I thought was similar value without the bye week issue:Rodgers and LJ Smith for McNabb (he has Greg Olsen as his starting TE)Rodgers and Ray Rice for Delhomme and Eddie royal (McGahee owner, before the game got cancelled)Rodgers, LJ Smith, and Colston for Trent Edwards and Braylon Edwards (Brady owner, his starting TE is Mercedes Lewis, he's 0-2 now, and Rodgers' stats would have put him over the top)Rodgers, LJ Smith, Colston, Patten for Favre and Steve Smith (owner is 0-2, Favre is his starter, his TE is Donald Lee, and he has no WR depth)seem like win-wins, or at least decent starting points for a negotiation. Basic feedback is I don't like rookie QBs, or Rodgers isn't going to be able to keep it up, usually without a counter offer. I think he will be able to keep it up, so hopefully he will rack up good stats for the next couple of weeks, and I'll try again.

If you are a believer in Rodgers, you may want to try to move Cutler....he seems to have much more curb appeal at the moment....and LJ Smith is a nice TE but I doubt people view him as much more than a throw-in and a slight upgrade at best....

That may be true, and maybe the route to go. I was thinking that LJ Smith was a significant upgrade over starting Greg Olsen, Donald Lee, or Mercedes Lewis, all of whom I consider barely startable.

Maybe people have different views of LJ than I do....I think he is in the category of ok starting TE....as are the other guys....LJ may be near the top of that group and the others may be in the middle or bottom of the group....but at best I would consider that slight upgrade....if I was going to pull the trigger...it would be about the QB not the TE....just my 2 cents

 

[MCguidance]

I was offered McFadden for my Marshall before the season started, and responded, "No thanks, I really think marshall is in for a big year." After this week the same guy sends me back an offer for Marshall for his Jacobs. I have Barber, Bush, and Thomas Jones, why in the world would I want Jacobs. I mean the guy is a very good RB, but I just didn't get the logic.

If MJD is healthy this is a very fair deal.....in a PPR format, the guy getting MJD might even be better off....MJD's changes things...I didn't know he was hurt that bad though....also depends whether Warner is the teams QB1 or 2 and who his other TE is...

Very true. I would like to buy low on Palmer but my brother owns him and I know much more about FF than he does, so I would feel bad if I did this.The only thing missing on my team is an elite QB, so I may send out an offer for something, though Warner has some nice value right now.

 

[moose162]

When an obviously one side offer comes in, I no longer even try to counter. It's clear that the other owner is looking for a sucker, not to make a deal.

I don't agree. I think it means the owner is interested in a trade. By offering me a one-sided trade, he thinks he has the power. But just the fact that he made the offer to me puts him in a position of weakness. He's saying, "My team isn't good enough. I am worried."Even owners that are looking for suckers are often good sources to improve your team.

I do agree. He is trying to see if you are an idiot. I don't have respect for people like that.

hahahaha....I think it's pathetic to get insulted over fantasy football trade offers. I mean, really?

 

[3C's]

I just got Jacobs for LJ. Pretty happy with it. Traded for LJ last year and it's been nothing but waiting for the LJ of old and it never happened.

 

[Mookie Blaylock]

I thought this was a who are you targeting in trades and what are you offering thread. Not a how to effectively negotiate like a big boy thread. Seriously. There is only one way to look at this - if someone simply sends you an crap offer they are hoping to get a steal. Period. If they truly sought an even trade that would help both sides they would pick up the phone and call and talk about the potential deal. Now can we get back to the who's being bandied about thread? Please? It was the best thread I'd seen in weeks in the SP.ETA: I know I am going to catch s**t for this but whatever.

Clearly you have not read the thread....the have been numerous examples of offers made / offers excepted / offers rejected....and some discussion as well.I suggest you go to the AC if you are simply looking for "list of the trade" and a couple "thumbs up" or "thumbs down"....

Actually I read the entire thread. This is one of the best threads I've ever seen for judging market value. The negotiation "advice" was all over the board. Just didn't think it was helpful.

It's a sprained ankle (and not even a high ankle sprain). He missed a few plays then went back. Big whup.Warner is top 5, awesome, I won a SB with him last year. He's also an immobile statue and fumbles a lot.

Scheffler (who doesn't even start for his own team) is Top 2. Talk to me in December when he isn't in the top 6 - again, he was a starter on my SB team last year, but gimme a break, he's Chris Cooley lite, not Todd Christensen.

Two guys who were barely draftable a month ago are now worth more than a top 15 RB. No wait, scratch that...it's insulting and laughable that someone would offer a stud for two guys who are, respectively, top 5 and top 2 at their position after...TWO WEEKS?

Put the pipe down, pal. The whole world didn't turn upside down over 120 minutes of football. After a month of regression to the mean, you'll be the one getting laughed at trying to make that same deal.

 

[Mookie Blaylock]

To me the problem with trades is the draft. I think it's been said in here before but what I'm seeing in a player is usually totally different than the guy who drafted him. There's some sort of emotional tie to the "where" the player was drafted. A buy low for a guy like LT this year is very tough because of where he was drafted. I suppose this trade would be easier given the owner had a great draft and could afford to take a chance on LT. However, if you could afford to take a chance on LT wouldn't you rather that chance be that he was on your bench waiting to go off?

For example, I'm working on getting Calvin and Slaton and I'm thinking of moving TO to do it. My initial offer is probably going to be just TO. I don't think I will move very far off that offer either. If he takes it, I'll have helped my team and he stays loaded. I'll have dropped down at WR1 but added to my weak RBs. If he doesn't take it and ends up wanting too much - again, in my opinion - I keep a likely top 3 or 4 WR and deal with my RBs.

Just because MJD got drafted in the first couple of rounds of most drafts doesn't make him valuable now that O line is in disarray and I don't see how things will get any better, right now I'd consider MJD a flex start at best and Warner and Scheffler are outright starters so draw your own conclusions.

Trading for LT right now would absolutely be taking a chance. Especially because of the uncertainty surrounding his health. I guess what I was saying is that the guy who has LT right now (if he's shopping him) is still probably penciling him in for something like 1200-1400 yards and 10-15 TDs - even with the injury. It might be a buy low for the guy looking to add LT but the guy shopping him still views him as a very significant commodity. And like you said no matter what you're still going to have to give up something significant to get him. That's risky to me.

 

[AnonymousBob]

I offered LJ/Holt/Cotchery for LT. The owner has great rb depth and no wr's.

 

[AnonymousBob]

Rodgers and Breaston (we get points for kick/punt returns) for Witten and Colston. This owner is 0-2, his best qb is Bulger and it's a mandatory TE league.

 

[AnonymousBob]

I'm thinking about holding onto Rodgers and trading away Brees...I'd probably package him up to get Gore.

I'm going to call the guy to discuss things...I really don't think it would happen but I'd probably have to give him Turner or LJ + Rodgers. I'll post the trades options we'll discuss.

[Norseman]

I have M Barber. Offered Ocho Cinco for Felix Jones, as I am afraid Barber may miss some time with his running style.

 

[Spike]

trying to get SJax.

Offering Matt Cassel (his QBs aren't good).

Dude. That's horrible.

gotta start somewhere. i'll probably end up throwing in a #2 rb. but you never know -- his QBs really are bad.

The thing is - there are people for whom this would be a "finish". It's a bit absurd but some people *do* get insulted when they receive offers such as this - especially if you say to them "I was just starting with this".

I just dealt LT, Sproles, and Cotchery forSJax, Welker1 PPR leagueI have Cutler and am trying to deal him for a RB. What does anyone think he is worth RB wise right now?

Gosh, the more I look at it that seems like a relatively even trade. I have to admit though, at first glance I was not liking it. Decent gamble either way I think.

I have Gore and SJax now and I am trying to get a solid RB to start at my flex spot and give me depth. What does anyone think Cutler is worth as far as RB's go?

Whatever the guy that lost Brady is willing to pay. It's hard to say. I don't think anyone can say a Cutler is worth a Turner for example. Target the guys in the league that have bad to questionable QB situations and go after their RBs. It can't hurt to ask, but base the request on the depth at the position.

Just traded

Rice, B. Johnson and LJ Smith

for

Edwards, Donald Lee and Tatum Bell (who will be a FA within minutes of me typing this)

I'm banking on Edwards turning it around and the other owner had McGahee and needed a TE. (that's assuming LJ > Lee, YMMV)

I didn't want to give up Johnson as I'd like to see what he could do in that system, but Edwards is a top talent IMO.

Sorry to reply to my own post, but I wanted to point out something that I did that I know many of you do, but is worth pointing out. In my trade it was essentially a 3-for-2 tade but since the other owner would have to drop someone I picked the worst player on his roster to "take him off his hands" - some will just say throw in whoever, but I think if you take a horrible player off a guy's roster it's almost incentive for them to do the deal. In this case, I have no intention of keeping Bell, but thought adding him to deal made it more balanced and appear to be helping him get rid of his "trash".
