The most ridiculous trade offer you've already received?

I've gotten two really bad offers so far. This is my first year playing in this league so i'm not sure if they are morons or if they think I'm a moron.

First guy sends me a message through ESPN:
"I have the opportunity to acquire the rams defense, if I do would you be interested in trading me Jimmy Graham for the rams defense?"

This guy was butthurt on draft day when I took Graham

Second one was slightly better but still ridiculous. HE sends the offer and then messages me on facebook "Just senf you a trade offer, I just threw latimer in to balance the rosters but I think it's a square deal"

He offered me Brandin Cooks, Erick Decker, and Joseph Randle for Dez Bryant and Cody Latimer.

I'll be pretty upset if I don't win this league

It's basically Cooks for Dez Bryant. I'd never start Decker and Randle may not even start, he'll be sharing a lot of carries either way and I already have McFadden. I've got 3 starting RB's to choose from to play in flex every week (Yeldon, Ivory, Blue) 4 DMC wins the job in Dallas

So with the way my roster looks it was a ridiculous offer from him. Cooks may have a big year but I highly doubt he out produces Dez

If you're coming after my second round pick, I need a tier one running back or a guy like Cooks plus another guy I can start. That was basically cooks for Bryant and here's some lagniappe on top to make it look like I'm not trying to rape you

Totally agree, I just think the gap between Dez and Cooks isnt as big as some.

I havent gotten any stupid offers yet, but its only a matter of time.

Lol, ask him if he can get you Otto Graham instead. Graham for Graham trade.

Got offered Ingram and Stafford for Hill. I said hell no, I'm big on Hill this year and Stafford isn't even a top 10 fantasy QB. So it's basically Ingram for Hill.

If they know this they may be testing the waters to what type of player you are.

I remember a few years ago I drafted LT #1 and another guy drafted PM #2. Somehow I landed Willie Parker on my roster (can't remember if it was a late pick or FA). A few weeks into the season PM was struggling and Parker was blowing shite up. I made an offer that was essentially PM for Parker and the guy accepted within 15 minutes. The entire league basically blew-up and conceded the season (stopped changing their lineups) bc I was stacked.

A member of our league sent me a trade asking Dez and Lacy for Alshon Jeffrey and Jamaal Charles. Not only is it the two same positions, but a downgrade for my team on both personnel

Charles and Lacy are the same tier. Who you prefer really depends on opinion, even if majority opinion right now would be Lacy. In a general sense I'd view them as having equal trade value. Jeffrey for Dez is pretty stupid though.

While not nearly as bad as some offers on here someone offered me

Randle RB Cowboys for Gordon RB Chargers...straight up no sweeteners.

Edit: This is also a keeper league.

A guy in my league wanted Mark Ingram from me. He's a huge Saints fan and I think he wants a Saints team basically. I told him I wanted a RB of similar value that I can feel less biased about. Offered me Leveon Bell. I told him I was winning that trade. He said "ok let's do it". Then the rest of the league got mad and vetoed the whole thing

Then the rest of your league sucks. If that guy feels better about having Ingram, then he's an idiot, but it's his team to poorly manage. Chaps my arse when leagues feel the need to manage everyone's teams for them.
