Puka for Bijan

[tsarpepe]

In a PPR contract league I just got an offer to give my Puka for his Bijan. Puka is on a 5-year $1 deal; Bijan is on a $60 contract that can be as long as 6 years. I'm thinking of keeping Puka. Am I crazy?

(I have the space to fit the $60 charge for Bijan in my budget, but it will make things tighter down the road.)

In the minority for FF but I don't "believe" in Puka (yet) so I'm doing this trade straight-up.

Bijan

Salary cap makes this tough to answer. I play SC and based on the little bit of information - I'm keeping Puka. At least in my league having a surefire weekly starter on $1 contract is a big advantage. Puka is on a $3 contract (out of $250) in my league making him one of the most valuable assets overall.

I’d make the swap for Bijan

1 dollar for a stud is unreal, hence why this deal is on the table. keeping puka (and im 99/100 times taking bijan over puka, this is the 1 time lol)

x2. Yeah, this sounds like the equivalent of keeping a mega stud at the cost of an 18th round pick vs. an uber stud at the cost of a 1st round pick. (Sorry I've never played contract leagues but I've played in keeper leagues where the round you drafted someone the prior year is what you'd pay to keep him the next year, ish)

You keep the diamond in the rough that was super cheap and use your money (picks, whatever) to load up again. Puka at $1 is like the equivalent of Mahomes on a rookie contract in real life, something like that even if I'm exaggerating a little.

Similar situation in this league, but the max budget is $1000. So I get to have Puka for 1/1000 of the total or Bijan for 6/100.

It's how I'm leaning atm.

So, basically, for the price of Bijan, I get to have Puka + a high-end TE like Hockenson.

Bijan is the standard answer, but in a contract league here, the value of Puka is just too good to pass up.

[knotts4372]

id beall for trading puka here because i dont have much belief in him long term but if the cost of robinson long term hurts you id stick with puka for now but shop him in other deals for better players that just dont eat ip as much cap

[Mtt33]

What’s the cap? That’s pretty important here unless I missed it in the thread somewhere. This seems like puka by a mile to me but that number would sway things.
