This is a trade I offered in my dynasty league:
I give: Lynch, Luck and Blackmon
I get: Cam newton and Julio Jones.

He said that it wasn't a bad offer, but he would need a better WR than Blackmon to get the deal done. Do you guys think Dez is a big enough upgrade?

Here is my roster:
QB- Romo, a. Luck, J. Freeman

RB- J. charles, T. Richardson, D. Martin, M. Lynch, J. Stewart

WR- Calvin Johnson,, dez Bryant, AJ Green, J. Blackmon, R. Cobb, J. Ford, D. Moore, L. Hankerson

TE- F. Davis, B.Pettigrew, J. Cook

K- Gostowski

D-49ers

That's one of those trades that I probably wouldn't do for either side, assuming Bryant isn't included.
Almost all of the talent in this deal could absolutely blow up, or absolutely backfire, and I steer clear of those kinds of deals as they always seem to bite both teams in the backside.

I think it's probably pretty even -- except for the fact that I don't like Dez.

I feel like you're trading sideways.

I feel like your team is pretty darn impressive and this trade doesn't help you at all.

I kinda agree with everyone else and I hate the trade if it's Dez. Value wise Dez = Julio to me, then Luck and Lynch for Cam...idk, if Andrew Luck is as good as advertised you might regret that in a year from now.

I think I'm keeping your depth and young talent. If Luck turns out ey way they think he will then you lose outnon a top qb for the next 10+yrs and hold on to Romo who is in his 30's. Also I'm holding on to Lynch, if he continues what he did last year he could end up a top5 RB. Your other rb's are young and unproven and your other RB is coming off a acl. I'd stick with your team for now. Good luck.

I'm not completely sold on Cam yet, and giving up Lynch and Luck for him seems really steep. I would stay put

Losing Lynch hurts your RB depth more than you would think. He showed that he can be the man and put up the numbers that can be top 10, maybe top 5.

Also I feel that because of Cam's historic season his stock is super high right now, probably too high. After this season when he has his "come to earth" season, I feel he will be much cheaper to aquire, so I would wait until then to try for him. This also would allow you to see what Luck is capable of. Cam would be a nice luxury for you, but Romo is a top 10 QB, Luck could very well be that in 2-3 years. If you want Cam that bad I would go for him next year when his stock will be lower. You'll know what you have in Luck and Blackmon, or a better idea than just rookie hype.
