Jacobs for Addai, Boldin, Olsen? 100% WHIR

Postby ScarletKnight » Thu Sep 10, 2009 1:25 am

I'm about to put this offer on the table before the season starts:

Outgoing Players
Addai
Boldin
Olsen
Vikings D/ST

Incoming Players
Jacobs
Bradshaw
Carlson
Ravens D/ST

My Current Roster
QB Romo
RB1 Peterson
RB2 Addai
Flex Boldin
WR1 A.Johnson
WR2 C.Johnson
TE Gates
DEF Vikings D/ST
K Neil Rackers

Bench Roy Williams, Matt Ryan, LenDale White, Greg Olsen, Darren Sproles, Chester Taylor, Glen Coffee

If I get Jacobs, he'd obviously be my RB2. Bradshaw would stay on my bench to hang out with the other handcuffs. Roy Williams will then become my flex. Is this a fair trade? Am I giving too much or too little?

Leave me your link and I will chime in your thread within 24 hours or even a few minutes if you see me online! Thanks!

Personally I think you are giving up too much. I think you could probably get a similar quality RB by offering Addai/White and Roy Williams to a team that needs another WR and maybe throw in Olsen if they need a TE but I would keep him because I think he'll outperform Gates (I'm a Bears fan and he is looking better every year and looked very good in the pre-season). Boldin is a solid player that if healthy will put up similar numbers to Fitz. I would look around for a better deal. Williams will have a much better year this year also so if you wait a week or two and he puts up numbers then you will get even more value.

any advice here? viewtopic.php?t=445011

Thank you for your insight. Does anyone think putting in Roy Williams instead of Boldin would make it a fairer deal for both owners? Oh, and the reason I am looking to trade with this owner is because he really is the only one that has expressed high interest in Addai and Olsen.

Thanks for your help on mine. I LOVE Jacobs, but I think you are giving up too much here for sure. Boldin IF healthy is unarguably a top 10 WR. Olsen could be a top 3 TE this year (could be #1?) and while I'm not high on Addai this year he's still the starting Rb for a great team and is in a contract year.

I'd definitely start with Roy Williams instead of Boldin. The other guy might be stoked about Williams as the #1 WR in Dallas (I'm not), and the significant upgrade at TE might put him over the top. With Boldin included, it's a pretty big gamble. Jacobs is the man, but he's injury-prone. I think it might be worth it, though, even with Boldin. A one-two punch of ADP and Jacobs is championship material.
