Mixon + Julio for ??

Edit****


Team below. Owner who has Mixon reached out to me saying he'd like to trade me Mixon and Julio. Wants to trade Julio away because of age and Mixon so he can add depth that he's missing. He just wants value, doesn't care to get RBs in return. I want to compete and win the championship this year.

I was thinking my 1st in 2022 for sure, Brown, Cooks or Woods, Slayton, not sure who to give him. I dont want to give up Allen, Thomas, Andrews, Gurley, or Henry. He doesn't want Kirk, Jones, or Mostert. He just drafted two TEs and traded for Gronk post draft.

I feel like adding Mixon to Henry and Gurley would provide me a top group of RBs (especially if Gurley can handle a full load). Then adding Julio to Thomas, Allen, and Chark would give me great WRs that can get me a championship win. Just need to figure out what would work that he would agree to.


Edit* He must have been drunk when he called before. I floated the offer of Brown, Slayton, 2022 1st and 2nd. His response "Who are you wanting?". After discussing more I sent an offer of Allen, Brown, and the 1st and 2nd. His counter was Thomas and Henry. So he wants me to call him tomorrow because "None of the players I'm offering will be starters". I told him I'd send 3 offers and if any are close then we'll talk but if he wants Thomas and Henry he can move on.*

Did the other owner give any indication player wise he was looking for in return?

I dont see how you are able to get julio & mixon without giving up a major piece.

The 2022 first has diminished value due to future picks. The rest wont add up to "Value". First get an idea of who or what he wants, flying blind is a tough way to close a deal.

I think Cooks, Woods and the '22 1st is fair value for one good (but not great) back. Full disclosure: never been a Mixon fan :?

Otherwise, you probably have to send at least Hollywood or Slayton or both instead. Probably where most Mixon owners fall.

As a Mixon owner (and believer) I would personally scoff at an offer like Cooks and a 1st a million years away. Mixon is being valued (right or wrong) as a Top-10 dynasty RB right now and his start-up ADP is around the round 1/2 turn. There's no way I'd sell a guy valued like that with his talent unless I were getting a stud player back. If you can buy Mixon for something like that definitely do so, but I can't see a way that gets it done.

Just who he doesnt like or care for. He added Cooks and Woods to that list earlier when I asked.

So he's narrowed down his list of people he's interested in to the list of people you arent interested in trading. Going to be a tough one to make work in the way you envisioned.

He said he didn't like Woods or Cooks. I was thinking at least Brown, Slayton and a 1st and 2nd.

Yeah, not going to work out perfectly for me. But I was thinking Brown, Slayton, 2022 1st and 2nd. At least to start. If he didn't have Hopkins I would be able to sell him on Kirk too.

Sounds like a waste of time at this point - be prepared to walk away. That's just how it goes sometimes. But good luck in case you can get something done.

Complete wast of my time for sure. Doubt anything gets done. Going to reach out to other owners and see about getting rid of some of this depth. Its a contract league and I'm sitting 14 years over right now while just picking up 3 more players through waivers (Malcolm Brown, John Hightower, and Michael Warren). I know I can make the drops necessary, but I'd like to combine some pieces and get an upgrade at RB if possible. Thinking of going for Drake or someone similar next. Good, but not elite.
