Cousins + Newton for 1.02 +++

Postby Mkh3225 » Mon Apr 02, 2018 7:29 pm

Ok guys so i wanted to get your opinons of a trade i proposed recently. So, in my SF league I was busy shopping Cousins when a guy approached me about the possibility of trading me for both Cousins and Newton. I told him it would take a pretty major haul to get both of them and proceeded to offer him my 2 QBs for Rivers, Watkins, 1.02 and 1.03.

I felt this offer was pretty reasonable considering what I was giving up as trading the two takes me from a contender (albeit not exactly a top one) to going into full rebuild (which wouldn't necessarily be the worst thing as my team is kind of middling). Anyway, the guy felt I was crazy for asking for so much but said he would consider the trade without Watkins. Again, from what I've seen on here/what some of my friends who have played a lot more SF than me have told me my offer wasn't out of line and I hardly consider Sammy a deal breaker. Still, I want to hear what you guys think so pick a side and explain why if you'd like, I'm all ears. Thanks!

Again, the trade proposed was:

No way. Plus why would you want Rivers in a rebuild?

Well, he'd just be a bridge QB as I'd try to get maybe Darnold and Allen in the draft

Bridge QB? This isn't the real NFL. If you want to tank and rebuild in fantasy, you don't want Rivers putting up points and potentially winning weeks for you. You're selling two young QB1s without getting any young QB prospects in return unless you really like the 2018 rookies.

This is one of those trades you will be happy did not get accepted. You have two established QB1's in a SF. I really don't see why you would want to trade them just to turn around and get a Darnold or Allen, who may or may not be starting in a few years.

Maybe trade one away for some picks and build up that way, but do not get rid of both unless you are looking for a long re-build.
