Trade Advice

Someone in my league wants to trade me LeSean McCoy for Rob Gronkowski.
My current RB2 is Pierre Thomas. My backup tight end is Greg Olsen.
A couple of things to keep in mind:
1. This is a PPR league, so Thomas is actually a top ten under these settings.
2. This is a keeper league, and Gronkowski has excellent value since I was able to draft him later on.
3. I clinched a first round bye, so schedule only matters for weeks 15 and 16.
At first, this seems like a no brainer. But after thinking about it, I can't help but feel like it's really only better in terms of name recognition at running back. The biggest plus I see is that McCoy has a great schedule. In the end, I'm not sure the difference in points will make it worth giving up a great keeper in Gronkowski.
Any thoughts? Am I being insane?

Biggest part of this, IMO.
You get McCoy, who you won't be able to keep next year, but give up Gronk, who you would. Not a good deal.
Who is your current RB1?
Counter with offering Olsen for someone else (obviously you won't get McCoy for Olsen).

He's actually a big Gronkowski fan and wants to try and get him so he can use him as a keeper. He does need a tight end, though, so it's worth looking into if he does make the playoffs.
Thanks for the advice.
