This is the place for team advice - should I make this trade, should I draft that player, etc.

Worth trading for Olsen?

Postby Prison_Mike » Mon Jul 15, 2019 6:24 am

Somewhat insignificant trade and not sexy by any means but has potential to be solid depth

(Team 3 in my signature)

Ertz is my starting TE
on the bench, I've got Eifert, Waller, & Ian Thomas

Olsen owner needs to clear his IR / make cuts and has offered me the following trade

I give: 2021 3rd
I get: Greg Olsen + 2021 4th


Thoughts?
I love Thomas but he's more of a stash until Olsen is out of the way;
Eifert & Waller obviously are huge question marks

With having Thomas, this trade makes sense. If Olsen preforms that is a bonus. A 3rd 2 years out means nothing.

Yeah i'd take that just on the basis of having Thomas as insurance.

Assuming you're trying to compete this year, then the trade is fine and probably makes sense for both sides.

WR: A.J. Brown, Garrett Wilson, Tee Higgins, Calvin Ridley, Michael Wilson, Kendrick Bourne, Tutu Atwell, Allen Lazard, Isaiah Hodgins, Justin Shorter
TE: T.J. Hockenson, Cole Kmet, Kylen Granson
K: Didn't make the playoffs in 2023 :cry: , and don't usually hold one in the offseason
Team DST: Cowboys, Lions

Picks:
2024: 1.06, 2.06, 4.06, 5.06, 6.06, 7.06, 8.06

Nope, I cut James Williams this morning to make room & could easily cut Theo Riddick as well
I am looking to compete this year, so having Olsen makes sense until he gets injured or heads to the broadcast booth

I made the trade, thanks y'all
