I am debating if trading for Gronk is something I should pursue. This would be for team in sig. I am having a really hard time deciding his value. I dont typically like to make "win now" moves because I feel like they are usually just as unlikely to hit (especially with Gronks injury history) in any given year compared to future potential.
Would given up Eifert OR Ertz, Njoku and a 2018 2nd (pick 18-20 overall) be in the ballpark? Would it potentially be too much? Or should I just stay put?
Also, this is not something the Gronk owner has mentioned to me, so, I would be going to him. His squad is solid overall. At TE he has Gronk and Hooper, so, he is set up well for now and the future imo.
Need some insight, thanks!!
Go after Gronk?
Re: Go after Gronk?
I agree that Gronk is a tough one. His injury history is long and every year just adds to it. That said, TE tends to be a longer lived position, and he's only 28. That, and he's basically a transformational player when healthy.
I would leap at either of those trades you mentioned, but I doubt they get it done. Eifert is barely healthier than Gronk, Ertz is still as much potential as production, and Njoku is a rookie who probably won't emerge for years yet, at best.
Anyway, with a few exceptions, it seems like half the good TEs in the league could be called injury prone. I would definitely buy Gronk, but only if it's at a discount.

Re: Go after Gronk?
Keep what you have...Gronk tends to be too expensive to acquire but it couldn't hurt to try. You didn't list how much he would cost and how long his contract is good for...that information would really help in a salary cap/contract league.

Re: Go after Gronk?
I probably wouldn't give that to get Gronk...but Gronk owners probably wouldn't take that either.
Re: Go after Gronk?
Is giving Eifert for Gronk an option? I thought it was Eifert/Ertz, Njoku and a 2nd. If you can get Gronk for Eifert alone, I'd do it quickly.

Re: Go after Gronk?
I'd easily give up Ertz/Njoku/2nd for Gronk. I highly doubt this is accepted though.

Re: Go after Gronk?
I haven't reached out to the owner...so, I'm not really sure what an option is...im mostly conflicted as to if I want to part with the pieces I've mentioned.

Oops. Without parentheses to guide me I misjudged the application of the "or" statement.Goddard wrote: ↑Wed Aug 23, 2017 10:18 amIs giving Eifert for Gronk an option? I thought it was Eifert/Ertz, Njoku and a 2nd. If you can get Gronk for Eifert alone, I'd do it quickly.
Well anyway, I would still move Eifert, Njoku and a 2nd for Gronk.
