Alright let me know yalls thoughts on this trade I have brewing:

The other team is in desperate need of a RB bc he lost Jamaal charles. I currently have Foster, McFadden, and Mendenhall so I'm pretty loaded in RB.

My Wrs are Austin, Bryant, Stevie Johnson and Bowe.

I basically want to trade some kind of combination of Mendenhall + Austin/Bryant/Johnson/Bowe for Larry Fitzgerald

I'm leaning towards Mendenhall + Bryant. I really hate having 2 quality WRs on the same team so this eliminates that issue. I feel like this is a good trade for the both of us as I get a for sure #1 WR and he gets a RB1 (for him) and WR1 as well.

I just want to make sure this isn't retarded on my part or if yall think Austin + Mendenhall would be a better plan. I really think mendenhall is gonna suck the rest of the year but the kid im playing is so desperate for a RB he prob will take him.

The league is non-ppr, 2wr 2rb 1flex.

If he is desparate, trade Mendenhall for Fitz straight up. You are pretty stacked at WR. I'd keep Miles. Romo seems to like him a lot. If I had to, I'd probably give up Bryant.

Do Bowe + Mendenhall.

Bowe is clearly your worst wr by a long shot because of his offense.

By the way, 6 team league?

This....he may bite. If not he may counter with the Austin+Mendenhall and then you can split the difference with your original offer. Always leave room for negotiating. He will think he won no matter what.

I would not trade Miles Austin. He could be a near wash with Fitz, IMO. If Mendenhall does anything in the future, you will probably be losing in the trade.

Naw 10 team. I got lucky with McFadden in the 3rd round and picked up bryant super late. My draft went something like Foster-Mendenhall-Mcfadden-Austin I think. I am playing with a bunch of idiots. Like I picked up stafford in the last round, Jimmy Graham in like the 10th.

I will prob start off with Bowe + mendenhall then maybe counter with bryant. The only reason I was thinking of throwing in Bryant right off the bat was because I really dont see me starting both Austin + Bryant in the same week. So basically one of them is getting wasted each week.

I dont think I would trade Austin + Mendenhall in any circumstance.

Holy shite, are you guys just choosing what parts you are reading? I didn't say to TRADE AUSTIN +MENDENHALL, I said he would most likely counter with that and you could agree on what your original post said. If you offer your best deal first you are doing a disservice to yourself. He may go for less, but more than likely you can meet in the middle.
