I came up with this idea because colston and coles are very similar in stats, but I personally think Colston will have a better year. Mcgahee and Jones for me is boom or bust, so I'd rather have someone like addai on my team. Clayton is my bench WR so I don't mind giving him up.

 

I think he would entertain this idea because his extra W/R slot is pretty weak. Ashley Lelie.

 

Would you accept this trade if you were him or would I have to give him someone like Fred Taylor instead of Clayton??

Two RBs is probably the sweeter pot for Addai/Colston.

 

Try dangling the original offer though - he might jump at it. I doubt it, but he might. IMO the guy with Addai and Colston is WAAAAAAAAAAY better off than the guy with Jones/Coles/Clayton. Jones/Taylor/Coles is far more equitable.

you don't think I'm asking too much though right? Addai is his #1 back, but he hasn't proven that he can handle the load alone yet. Should I throw Mcgahee in there instead of Jones?

yes you are asking for too much. unless he's retarded, he will never do it.

Do you have an explanation on why I am asking too much? Would you not be worried if you had Ashley Lelie as your W/R slot? A guy that caught 23 passes and had 1 td last year.

 

I think its pretty fair if you look at all the players involved.

 

Colston and Coles are close. both had very similar stats.

 

Hes getting 2 RBs for 1 RB. He would be losing if it was 1 rb for 1 rb. But the production he loses from giving away addai will be made up with Fred Taylor as his W/R slot + more.

Well, if it's so close, why don't you keep Coles, Taylor, and Jones, and watch him wallow in the nether regions of your league?

 

It depends on how he values players. I prefer Colston over Coles (I'm just no Coles fan) and while it's conceivable that Jones = Addai this year, I think most people are more sanguine about Addai's chances of emerging into studhood than Jones', who has proven that he is what he is - a good #2/marginal #1

Yes, I agree that Colston looks to be a better Receiver, but his stats won't blow away Coles.

Addai is also better/has more potential than Jones and prob Mcgahee.

 

The deal here is that he'll get a much better Slot option player than what he has now (Lelie).

 

You are prob right though. He won't let go of Addai.

Even Mcg/Coles/Clayton will prob not be enuf to get it done. As far as Coles numbers being close to Colstons, well Coles was # 1 wr all year, Colston was #2 but this year will be #1 and should improve on last years #'s while Coles will prob see a drop off as Cotchery grows and takes away from Coles . Put Walker with Mcgahee and Clayton and you might get lucky but probably not.
