Barkley Trade

[BabyChark23]

12 team 2QB PPR

I’ve been to the big game the past two years and won this past year. I have this offer being discussed, but it’s probably an over pay.

Give: Jacobs, Ridley, Minshew, Freirmuth, 25 1st (mine likely late)

Receive: Barkley, Gainwell, Kittle, 2.05

The first is the only piece in this that really gives me any pause, because ya never know what could happen. What do ya’ll think?

[Prison_Mike]

Yeah it seemed fairly reasonable until I got to the picks.

Think I'd hold.

I don't know that Jacobs -> Saquon or Muth -> Kittle are big enough upgrades to justify Ridley + 1st, even with the 2nd coming back

I wouldn’t trade Jacobs for Barkley straight up. This is an easy decline for me.

Definitely prefer barkley to jacobs and kittle to muth but as stated above I’m not adding ridley and a future 1st to do it.

I suspected it was an overpay as well. I’m curious why you wouldn’t move Jacobs for Barkley straight up. You see Jacobs as better than Barkley?

I do see that...especially because PHL is usually a committee backfield. Jacobs has a lot higher ceiling.

I see Jacobs’ landing spot as ideal. While I am of course a fan of Barkley when he plays, I think Jacobs’ skill set fits perfectly with GB.

Idk. I'll believe Gainwell is taking a significant % of snaps away from Saquon when I see it.

Swift was a limited player on an expiring contract making $1.7m
Sanders was a limited player on a rookie contract never eclipsing $1.2m

Enter Saquon Barkley, who has a workhorse build, an all-purpose skillset, and is set to make $37m over the next 3 years ($26m guaranteed). I think there's valid concern about Hurts stealing goal line/short yardage carries and not maximizing Saquon in the passing game, but I think it's possible the RBBC approach was largely based on the personnel in their RB room in recent years.
