sgumm23 2 Posted October 30, 2013 Gave up Calvin and Eli for Aaron Rodgers and Steve Smith. Other wrs are BMarshall Jordy and C Shorts. Was set to roll with Locker at qb. Over now but anyone else traded Calvin lately? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Perennial Contender 18 Posted October 30, 2013 you could have got more than that IMO, especially after last weeks game. JMO 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bscheibs 8 Posted October 30, 2013 I would trade him but can't. Between starting lineup and bench I have 15 spots. Unfortunately that's not enough room for all the good players I would need to roster after the trade. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cbfalcon 824 Posted October 30, 2013 In the one league I don't have him in, I've been wondering what to package with AP to get him. That's how valuable I think he is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IGotWorms 3,315 Posted October 30, 2013 I don't think I'd trade Calvin for the moon, the stars and the sun. There aren't many true studs out there this year at WR (or RB) and Calvin's the studliest of them all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnaheimRams 28 Posted October 30, 2013 Gut reaction is you gave up too much. IMO... Rogers v Eli... or Locker... or Jason Campbell... etc... is not anywhere near the difference between Calvin and Smith. That said... the bye week thing does make a difference. Sound strategy when you can pull it off... I try to do the same thing in trades. Curious who the Rodgers owner has left at QB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noonan492 0 Posted October 30, 2013 Your RB's better be stacked to not upgrade while trading Calvin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There aren't many true studs out there this year at WR (or RB) and Calvin's the studliest of them all. Agree with you 100%. It is crazy to even think about trading a stud like this unless it is for a King's Ransom and Rodgers and Smith are far short of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plasma george 52 Posted October 30, 2013 I'm shopping him hard, after drafting RBs like SJAX, DWIII, Bradshaw and Mendy, I'm desperate, or done. Offered FJAX, Marshall, Stafford or Lacy, D thomas, Newton I haven't accepted. The Mccoy owner won't give up Forte...and the Marshall owner won't give Jordy.

throttlers 0 Posted October 30, 2013 I don't think you got near enough. I have Calvin in a dynasty and it would be tough for me to move him without getting back a top tier WR or RB and some other pieces. He and J. Graham are my two almost untradeable pieces. In a redraft I just gave up T.Smith, TY Hilton and J. Reed for Calvin. All of these guys were going to be on my bench this week. Calvin is on BYE, and the owner is 3-5 and can't afford a loss. He also has AJ Green. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Upper Class Trash 67 Posted October 30, 2013 I don't own Calvin in any leagues, so this is from a non-owner viewpoint... In the case of Calvin, I would expect a Kings Ransom in return. I don't think you get that with Smith and Rodgers. He is the top guy at his position and undeniably consistent. Regardless of what others have posted, Johnson has many years left. He's only 28 years old, hasn't had any major injuries and his QB is locked up for the remainder of his career. WR's play very well into their mid-thirties, especially with a solid QB. He's the closest thing to a lock you can get at the position and barring injury, will be a top 3 to 5 fantasy producer for another five years. At 28, he's just entering the prime of his career. This isn't the 80's where a WR was done at 30. In the last decade, look at the guys who have performed great until 35.... No way would I let go of him unless the offer was a solid young RB1 AND another top player at their position. You got a WR3 on the downside of his career and a QB that isn't at the top of his game due to injuries and a renewed running game. I just don't see how this adds up to a good deal for you.

throttlers 0 Posted October 30, 2013 Just to give some perspective on the trade for Rodgers, I was able to get Rodgers and Witten for Douglas and Reed. Calvin should have brought a much higher price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nadnewob 1 Posted October 30, 2013 Terrible..... He's the best player in fantasy and will probably deliver a championship to the team he was traded too. He's just getting started. And.... Trade him for a QB???? Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazywhorse 6 Posted October 30, 2013 i can pick up pretty much any FA QB in any league and pair him up with Calvin and they will score more than Rodgers + Smith. sorry, terrible trade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seadog54 20 Posted October 30, 2013 i can pick up pretty much any FA QB in any league and pair him up with Calvin and they will score more than Rodgers + Smith. sorry, terrible trade. Agreed. My competitive 12 team QB heavy 6 pt passing TD league has the following QBs in FA. Terrelle Pryor Alex Smith Geno Smith Ryan Tannehill Joe Flacco Ben Roethlisberger Carson Palmer I can stream weekly matchups with those QBs + Calvin Johnson and they will out score Rodgers + Smith easily.

Jeff Garcia 8 Posted October 30, 2013 Ouch! You traded a guy who just had 329 receiving yards, 1 TD, stopped twice at the 1 yard line? A guy who is leading the league in receiving yards, 117.3g avg. With 7 TDs on the year, for who? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RaiderHaters Revenge 3,587 Posted October 30, 2013 possibly the worst trade I have seen here and there have been some bad ones you should at the very least get a top tier WR (which Steve Smith is in about tier 8) a rb 1/2, a guy like Morris, inj Foster, etc something like Demaryius and Morris Welker and Foster Cameron and Demaryius etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

idiotec 31 Posted October 30, 2013 Don't worry guys. He didn't actually make the trade yet. See you post it this way, see what the reaction is, and then make a decision. It's a way to sneak in a "little help" on this board. So my thoughts? Great trade man!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
