Team A- Recieves Antonio Brown and Eli Manning. Team B- receives Deshaun Watson and Will Fuller. Help me settle a dispute. I say it's not because I don't believe the Texans can sustain what they have done on offense. What say you?

By that logic, the trade is fair, because Manning has no WRs, and if Big Ben keeps playing like shite, AB wom't be worth anything either.

I would consider vetoing that trade.

Antonio Brown >>>>> D Watson

Big Ben was shite this past week and brown still put up big numbers. We are a PPR league I forgot to mention

It's an awful trade. I don't like vetoing, but I'd at least think about it.

I leave Eli out of the equation because the guy already has a good QB- he will ride the bench

You don't veto because someone is getting trade raped. You should only veto if there's legitimate reasons to believe the owners are colluding.

it doesn't really matter what you believe, if team B believes it than that's how he chooses to manage his team

would I do that deal? No

Any reason to suspect one team is trying to gut their team to help the other? If not, no veto

You have to take your personal feelings and expectations out of this.

It's not your responsibility to manage other peoples' teams. If they want to make the trade, and there isn't collusion, let it through.

End of story.

You only Veto if its obvious one team is colluding with another. Its a terrible trade, but the guy getting Watson clearly likes the double tap and thinks Houston can sustain. You don't veto, you just point and laugh.

The team getting the crap deal is 1-4. Team getting brown is competing to win the league but doesn't have a top 3 team. It's not even close to an even trade- so it should be vetoed in my opinion.

I do see it as colluding. Team that is making the poor deal has a terrible team and will not make the playoffs.

I understand its a lopsided trade, but you don't have say so over other people's teams. If the guy was giving AB and getting back a Defense, you veto it.

Everyone loves to make it out to be black and white, but what constitutes collusion? Do you have to prove it through texts or something? A trade that's bad enough that people think it MIGHT be collusion is still bad for the league, IMO.

Right, it’s not black and white. If it jeopardizes the integrity of the league it needs to be considered

On the flip, sometimes it’s just a league with people who really don’t have a clue. There are more out there than people think. I’m thinking this is prob the case here

I agree...sort of. I believe that if you could see the angle at which one owner decides its a good trade then you shouldn't veto it. This one is a clear example of that. The guy thinks Watson will keep it up and likes double tap option with Fuller.

I would let it be. One guy is most likely buying too high on Fuller but that is his choice. I don’t see that as collusion
