Jordy Nelson

Michael Bush

My out:
Calvin Johnson
Brent Celek (I'll still have Witten)

Need more details on how the keeper stuff works in your league, that could greatly impact what side I choose.

4-6 keepers (max 3 per position) and a full IDP roster (2 DL 2 DB 2 LB 2 Defensive Players) (and it's a PPR league)

I may try to throw in a linebacker and upgrade Bush to peterson.

Still could use some more information: Are players kept based on a round they were drafted or are the first 4-6 picks keepers? Your roster would help too. As would your line up settings and league size.

I just want to get all the important information before I let you know what I think. I'm leaning towards thinking this isn't enough, but some of that information could impact my opinion.

4-6 keepers taking the spot of the 4-6 picks. 12 man league (LONNNG draft)... 28 players per team

Lineup:
QB: Brees
QB: Vick
RB: Reggie Bush
RB: Pierre Thomas
WR: Calvin Johnson
WR: Steve Smith

Flex: Steve Johnson

LB: James Laurinatis

DL: Kyle Williams

DB: Bernard Pollard
DB: Antoine Bethea

Bench:
Tim Tebow (QB)
LeGarrette Blount (RB)

Ahtba Rubin (DT)
Brandon Spikes (LB)
Nate Washington (WR)
Brent Celek (TE)
Von Miller (LB)
Kevin Ogletree (WR)
Ronnie Brown (RB)


I told the guy I'm trading with that if he wants Johnson, I want LeSean McCoy and Nelson (steep asking price, I know)... CJ, Brees and Laurinaitis are the only keeper worthy players on my team so I'm not giving them up easily.

How about:

In: Bowe + McCoy
Out: Johnson

I think that's a much better trade, and one that I would probably do.

I'm an advocate of making sure you take some sucker to the cleaners if you are going to part with a mega star like CJ. So not sure what RB you have to give up if you get McCoy in the deal. Just make sure you get a helluva deal and prod every team on what they will give you for CJ before you pull the trigger. Somebody might raise their hand and make a really stupid deal. The name of the game is to find the biggest sucker for your biggest trade-worthy chips.

Long story short, I asked for more (in the form of picks) and he hesitated (I wanted Bowe/Mccoy + Second Rounder for CJ/Ronnie Brown)... a few days later he wanted to do Bowe/Mccoy for Johnson/london fletcher (or jordy nelson/mccoy for johnson/fletcher) and I turned it down. mccoy's numbers aren't consistent enough and while CJ is having a down year, he's still doing better.
