Is this a crazy trade idea?

Question

I could use an upgrade at TE.

Rudi could be traded which would make Perry the starter. This other guy has S. Young as his # 2...not very solid if you ask me.

I could send him Perry, and maybe O. Daniels (he already has Watson) which would lock down CINs backfield, and give him better options at # 2. In return, I ask for Antonio Gates. He has Voss as a backup TE too.

Fair trade?

Answer 1

Yes, it's crazy.  Unless the other owner is a dimwit, he will not accept this trade offer.  The CIN backfield is a mess and you also have to include Watson in the mix.  Gates is a top 3 TE that performs like a nice WR.  

I guess it can't hurt to make the offer.  I've heard wackier things get through.

Answer 2

If i was the other guy I wouldn't accept that trade until Rudi was officially traded otherwise he would get a bad deal.  If Rudi is traded I think that this trade is pretty fair if you give him Daniels because then he'd still have decent TEs even after he trades you Gates.

Answer 3

no, you totally rip him off.  Perry and Rudi stink just as much as selvin does.  O Daniels is solid but not a top 10 TE.  Gates is a 3rd or 4th round pick.  It's totally unfair.

Answer 4

If i were him I wont accept it.  but you never know if he is really deperate for a rb maybe.  just give it a try.  

Answer 5

If I'm the guy with Gates that wouldn't do much for me I wouldn't want 3 RB on the same team

Answer 6

I wouldn't even consider it if I were him.
