Jermichael Finley

[hoosier1032]

So Finley is one player that I really had my sights on in this years draft but as you can imagine he was snapped up two picks before my pick in the 6th rnd.

I then promptly selected B. Celek. Who I like this year but not nearly as much as Finley.

I would really like to trade for Finley but I'm not sure who I should offer along with Celek.

Some of the trade offers I have thought of were:

my B. Marshall, Celek for his R. White, Finley

my Celek, J. Gaffney, B. Scott for his Finley (He's a C. Benson owner)

Would love to hear your thoughts on the above trades and any that you would suggest. Or if you think that I should just stand pat and my team is just fine the way it is.

This is a 10 team league and we start 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 3FLEX (Thats right 3 FLEX!)

Here is his current starting lineup:
QB Jay Cutler
WR Roddy White
WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh
RB Maurice Jones-Drew
RB Cedric Benson
TE Jermichael Finley
W/R Arian Foster
W/R Brandon Jacobs
W/R Devin Aromashodu
K Matt Prater
D Demorrio Williams
D Brian Urlacher
D LaMarr Woodley

My squad is below:

QB- J. Flacco, B. Roethlisberger
RB- A. Peterson, P. Thomas, J. Best, M. Bush, K. Huggins, B. Scott
WR- Ca. Johnson, B. Marshall, D. Bowe, J. Knox, J. Gaffney
TE- B. Celek, Za. Miller
K- D. Akers
IDP- K. Morrison, EJ. Henderson, R. McClain

Thanks again and will help with yours!

Does he know how much you like Finley?

Does he know how much you like Finley?

Possibly.

I'm more concerned that he doesn't want to trade him period. But I at least want to make him an offer he has to consider.

[B3N1ZJAM1N]

Well if he knows you better get ready to trade a whole lot for him. I guarantee if you give up enough he will trade you for him. Post his roster for us to see what he needs.

I personally don't think that he would take either offer for Finley. I think Celek is a good TE, I wouldn't go nuts and give up a ton for Finley.

[TheBull]

why, i think Finley is #1 ranked TE at season's end.

[chaindog35]

i would try either offer, but I agree it probably won't work. Celek had good numbers with Kolb at the helm last year, so i wouldn't go overboard to get Finley. Make those two offers and see what he says.

[TheBull]

but i agree on Celek..more than enough production at the TE spot esp. with Kolb to give you success

I like both of the deals you posted but wouldn't take them if I was him.

The last thing I'd try is Calvin Johnson & Celek for Roddy White & Finley. I actually prefer White but a lot of people would rather have Johnson so he may take it and Johnson/Celek is a little better offer than Marshall/Celek. Maybe throw is Scott if he wants the handcuff.

Otherwise, don't overpay for Finley. Celek is still a good TE and you don't want to downgrade too much at other positions when you're starting 3 flex.
