My team is 3-4 in standard scoring league.
QB: Palmer
RB: Murray, Mason, McKinnion, Matthews, and Stewart (who I am thinking about dropping for Robinson)
WR: Maclin, Julio, VJax, Lafell
TE: Kelce, Donnell
DEF: Eagles, Cardinals (picked up because of Eagles bye)

One guy in my league doesn't give a frick about fantasy and just wants all Eagles players. He has sent me multiple trade offers for Eagles D.
His team:

QB: Dalton, Newton, Stafford
RB: McFadden, A. Smith, Peterson, D. Williams
WR: Edelman, Alshon, Matthews, T Williams
TE: Olsen, Ertz
Def: Houston



What is one ridiculous trade offer I should send him, and one more realistic, but still a normal person wouldn't accept but this guy will because he loves the Eagles.



ETA: Eagles Def has gotten 94 points this season, with the last 3 games they have played scoring 20+ fantasy points each game

Sell high and D/ST do not belong in the same sentence.

Even when the defense has scored 94 points this season, with their last 3 games scoring 20+ fantasy points each?

4/6 weeks they've scored 17 or more points

they're top 10 in sacks, have the best special teams in the NFL and know how to score the ball when it's turned over...

so have fun replacing that, and what would you get for them? some guy who will sit on your bench, maybe someone who can be a desperation play for you during a set of difficult bye weeks

Someone dropped them on the bye this week and I picked them up and dropped Carolina.

Certainly if they're available, pick them up. Maybe it is just the league I am in, but no owner would trade for a defense.

People actually trade for defenses? I've never been in one of those leagues

So youd rather keep the Eagles D?
What if the trade was as ridiculous as Eagles and Kelce for Olsen and Alshon?

Only decent D left is Miami

People were saying the exact same thing about the chiefs last season. They fell back down to earth.

Well, of course make that trade if possible, but your league sucks if someone would actually consider that.

The Eagles D have been awesome so far, although I'm keeping thrm on the bench one more week because I used the Browns last week and they have Oakland this week.
