Any of them good?
Thank you in advance!

Are these offers you're considering making or have been made to you?
Cause I would take all of those if they've been offered to you.
If you're the one offering, yeah offer them, except the Welker/Brown one. I'm not saying I wouldn't do that one, just that I'd have to give it some thought. And wait, is this Andre Johnson from the other thread, or AJ Green? I wouldn't do that at all for Johnson.
None of your offers are insulting, but I wouldn't imagine many being accepted.
Maybe the Wayne one.
He's interesting.
He was drafted really late in all leagues and a lot of people, myself to an extent, can't get over the "Is he on the decline?" question, but he has looked revitalized with Luck. Truth is, he isn't all that old, he just had an abomination of a QB throwing to him last year.
He could easily be in line for a 110 catch, 1400 yard, 10 TD season and wind up one of the top WR's in fantasy.
I'd swap Welker for him in a heartbeat and that's one you might get the other owner to bite on.

I've THOUGHT about making all of these offers...actually did send them out, but withdrew them for comments on this board

and the AJ is for Andre Johnson, not AJ Green.
I also think the Welker for Wayne or the Welker/Decker for White would be easiest to get accepted. Problem is the same owner owns both players and would probably give wayne away before white. As for Andre Johnson, the owner of him also has Bradshaw and this week is starting Michael Bush and Donald Brown. I figured he might want Andre Brown so I could package Welker to get Andre Johnson.

Yeah I was saying to hold off on Brown cause he might blow up. Well... boom.
Bradshaw wasn't exactly lighting the world on fire before the injury, going back to last year, he's not an elite player where he's full job safe, Brown might wind up the 3 down starter and in that role he's a great player to have against a lot of the matchups he has this year and his trade value will go way up within a couple weeks if that scenario does play out. Let alone, we don't know the extent of Bradshaw's neck injury, he could be out for the season and the Giants are just playing coy. Andre Johnson isn't a must get player to me where you throw that possibility out the window. I think you roll the dice on this one and hope you strike gold. Then if he winds up the starter all year you can shop one of your big name backs like Lynch for a tip top WR.

Thanks. I stayed put. Not going to force a trade unless it's for Megatron, or I start losing bad. I'll sit and hope Welker's value rises in these next few weeks. I gave up on my buddy for now. He wants Harvin and any two WRs of my choice on my team for Megatron straight up. Example is Harvin, T Smith and Decker. That means I'd have Megatron, Antonio Brown and Welker after the trade and I don't really like that because that leaves me with NO depth. Let's see how I do in the next couple weeks and then revisit the Megatron trade. Thanks again for all your input Vince4Pres!

Dude, please do that trade lol.
Give him Welker, Harvin and Smith and laugh your way to the bank.
You'll open up two roster spots as well and this early in the season you'll stumble onto some good gets on the wire.
Even if Mega comes down to earth a little something, he's still a top 5 stud and an every week start no matter the matchup and that's a really nice thing to have.
And then you keep Brown?
Decker is solid himself, although not what I had hoped he would be.
If you really like Welker, just make it Harvin, Smith and Decker.
Unless Tron gets hurt, you won't regret that move.

What a difference a BYE week makes!! The guy accepted my Welker/Harvin for Megatron/R Moss because with Megatron on bye he was stuck starting R Moss and Lafell week 5. He's 1-3 and in dire need of a W. After all the crap he put me through trying to come up with "fair" trades, he accepts my original offer! It's a perfect situation for me as I can sit Megatron this week and still have Antonio Brown, Torrey Smith and Decker to play!! I'm on Cloud Nine!
