re: Trading Doug Baldwin & Melvin Gordon For Le'Veon Bell

So you went from having a solid deal in Landry and Gordon for Bell, and made it even more in his favor by replacing Landry with Baldwin

No. At first, he wanted to trade Carlos Hyde for Jarvis Landry. I declined. Told me to make him an offer that would make him say yes to trading Bell, I told him it wasn't a done deal if he said yes but ask if Baldwin & Gordon would do it. He said he liked that trade a lot. So now I have a range in terms of what he will agree to (if he would have said no then I wouldn't even think about it).

I didn't reply to him all day, I wanted to wait to see if he reached out to me first. Which he just did. He asked if I decided because he had an inquiry on Bell. I was going to tell him I would only trade Landry & Gordon, which he would have accepted because his WRs are horrible, but I can't pull the trigger on this one.
