Rebuild: No buyers for my Melvin Gordon.. still

[WOATjohn]

In my rebuild I have 3 2020 1st, 2nd, and 3 3rds (including the 1st pick in each round)
I have been trying to sell Melvin Gordon since he has returned with no interest and all 11 teams (other than mine) are 4-5 or better and fighting for a playoff spot.
I have been asking for an injured or young young player and a 1st for Melvin.
What would you look for? Maybe I have been shooting for the stars too much

At this point I am about to lock the door and just keep my core into 2020.. I am not going to just give away a potential RB1

Hold and a solid deal might come as he gets up to speed or this off season. No need to force a deal.

[DynastyDabbler]

Now's a pretty bad time to sell, so I'd hold as well. But if you're really ready to get rid of him go throw some offers out to different teams. I never get much feedback when I announce a player is "on the trade block". Seek it out. Who in your league really needs a RB, and who do you want from their roster.

[Trevormortis]

I'd wait closer to your trade deadline if you aren't getting any takers. No need to rush a trade. Your asking price is fine.

[sloth8u]

Most have gordon as a sell. That typically leads to everyone knowing that and a limited market. Those who would buy are looking for a good price, not a over pay. Id imagine a solid prospect and 1st is too much right now.

I agree , if you're in a rebuild there is no hurry to sell him , just let everyone know he is getting hot and for sale , if you don't get a good offer hold him until the off-season

Agreed

Now in terms of brainstorming names to target -

Mixon straight up

Keenan Allen

Diggs

Evan Engram

Mark Andrews plus something like an early 2nd

Marlon Mack

OBJ?? Even if you have to pay a 21 First or a late 20 First

I think you might have to aim lower than that. In leagues where I own those guys If I saw Gordon for them it’d be a snap decline. If I’m competing I’d rather have basically any of them than Gordon until he and the offense show they can produce, and if I’m rebuilding I don’t want an almost 27 YO back about to hit FA with a long history of injuries.

I was verbally offered Gurley and Parris Campbell for my Melvin Gordon.
This seems like a lateral move with Gordon/Gurley plus I get Campbell for free. Accept?

And to reply to the suggested trade targets, I actually have Engram, OBJ and traded Mixon away (thought about trading back for him tho lol)
I was considering trying to get Keenan for him

[Goddard]

Definitely a bad time to sell Gordon.

probably the best you'll get for him

[briank]

I'd sell him for any 2020 first at this point if I'm rebuilding. I think there's a real chance he holds out again next year, and a chance he holds out the entire year this time.

[lukkynumber13]

Tonight certainly did a $50k facelift on your attempt to move Gordon

Nothing like a true workhorse effort complete with nice catch and a TD, on national TV, to pique interest.

I'd definitely accept this, I'm not sure Gurley is as cooked as everyone thinks. I think he will outperform Gordon going forward, and I really like Campbell.
