Salary-Cap Dynasty: Should I give up Adams or first-rounder to get out of Freeman deal?

Postby TomAlb9 » Tue May 12, 2020 11:33 am

I originally posted this in the dynasty section but one of the guys re-directed me here. Said I could get better answers here most likely. And I have an update from the original post.

I'm being offered one deal from a fellow top owner to give up Davante Adams, Devonta Freeman & Marquise Goodwin (I eat $2 both years). In exchange, I'd get a 2021 1st (probably a late one at that), Stefon Diggs, Marlon Mack, Derrius Guice and Bryce Love.

UPDATE: I now have another owner from one of the bottom owners of the league who is asking me to give up my 2021 1st and he'll take Freeman's entire contract

Salary info for those interested:
- We use a $250 cap
- Adams is on his last year at $15 but can be renegotiated this year to $20 this year and next
- Freeman is on his last year on a massive $38 deal (I signed back in 2017 FYI)
- Goodwin has two years left on $7 (I eat $2 per year in this deal)
- Diggs has one season left at $10 and can be renegotiated like Adams to $15
- Mack is $13 this season and $11 next
- Guice has three seasons left at $11, but only 2020 guaranteed
- B. Love has three seasons left a $2, but none guaranteed

My other RBs: Joe Mixon, Mark Ingram, Duke Johnson, Darrell Henderson, Eno Benjamin, Ryquell Armstead
My other WRs: Adam Thielen, Courtland Sutton, Jalen Reagor, Robby Anderson, Hakeem Butler, Kelvin Harmon

I've been a finalist for 2 of the past 3 seasons and a division winner in the last 2 seasons (and was No. 1 seed last season). I really like Adams, he's the best guy on my team for sure. But is it worth giving him up for the cheaper WR, the 1st rounder, get out of the Freeman deal and hope Mack and/or Guice can still give me some RB help?

Or is it worth giving up my 1st in the next draft to get out of that Freeman deal even with 1 year left?

P.S. Thanks for accepting me! Glad to be here!

The trade for diggs and a 1st removes $26 from your salary, and gets you a 1st. ($60-34).

At least you end up with parts you can use, in moving his contract, and picking up cap space.

Make that trade
PPR IDP Contract Cap:
ConF (16 Team)
DAF (16 team)
DW2- Co-Commish (16 Team)

PPR IDP Salary Cap:
Hardcore - LAC (32 team)
T1 - Commish (12 team)
T2 - Commish (16 Team)
