The offer above is on the table. I place a high first value on Kupp and a mid first value on Lindsay. I originally offered Kupp for Lindsay/Deebo and suggested I throw an add on in there but the Lindsay/Deebo owner wasn't interested in that. The Lindsay/Deebo owner countered with the offer above and that's where I'm at.
I think the trade is "fair". However, I am reluctant to trade for RBs with low draft capital. It sounds silly but these types of RBs typically don't get as much opportunity in the long term. I'm worried Lindsay may be a one year wonder and would hate to move Kupp for a player like that. On the flip side, I don't get to see many Broncos games where I'm at so I don't have a very good opinion on Lindsay as a player. Did he look like an RB that can be trusted to put up RB2/fringe RB1 numbers in 2019 and beyond?
What do you all think? Is this a fair deal/should I go through with the trade to shore up my RB room?
