Trade help...

A guy in my league has offered me Gronk in a trade for David Wilson. He has Bradshaw and wants to cuff him. I feel good with my 2 TEs with Gresham and Olsen, but it's always nice to have a stud that you don't have to think twice about playing. Obviously I would have to drop/trade one of my TEs if I did this. My 2 starting RBs are Trent Richardson and Doug Martin (who I feel pretty good about). Wilson was more of a "stash and hope" type of pick. My other 2 RBs are LeShoure and Alex Green...so this would make me a little thin at RB, unless I could trade Gresham for a decent RB.

What say you?

Yes you are reading that right... This is a 12 team league, and RBs have always been a huge commodity; especially RB handcuffs. I agree that this is a no-brainer...but I also don't want to leave myself thin at RB.

I'm thinking about a counter offer of bundling David Wilson and his choice of my 2 TEs, in return I would ask for Gronk and JaQuiz Rogers.

That way I would be able to get rid of 1 of my TEs and get another "stash and hope" type RB.

What you think?

Then it shouldn't be a question. When you can get a 1st-2nd round pick, for a backup RB, a guy going in like the 11th round of most drafts...who cares? You're RB situation is kinda garbage right now anyway relying on 2 rookies (one of which is hurt), might as well cash in on Gronk.

If nothing else, get Gronk and flip him to someone again who knows nothing about football for another quality TE and a decent RB.

    • Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.
    • So if one of the parents wants to buy the theatre group or the band lunch they should get banned?
    • OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
