browns2626 0 Posted October 8, 2019 I was offered Connor and OBJ for Thielen. WR wise I have Hopkins, Thielen, Fuller, Tyrell Williams, John Brown, Sterling Shepherd, and Brandin Cooks. RB wise I have Damien Williams, Michel, Hyde, and Kareem Hunt stashed as a potential future flex player when he returns from suspension. For RBs they have Aaron Jones, Keryon Johnson, James Conner, Melvin Gordon and Saquon. For WRs they have Golden Tate, Marvin Jones, OBJ, Hollywood Brown, and Calvin Ridley.

You get a RB which you probably need!!! Can you look at mine the Matt Ryan trade? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RabidSeaCows 99 Posted October 8, 2019 yeah, you really need a RB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doughboys_2002 11 Posted October 8, 2019 Should do it without question Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydiverd 13 Posted October 8, 2019 This helps bolster your RB situation, it's worth doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AxeElf 787 Posted October 8, 2019 You need a RB, but I'd do it for pretty much any one of their other RBs (well, maybe not Kerryon) rather than Conner. Conner competes with Samuels in the backfield and the PIT offense is struggling in general. If you could get Gordon or Jones, it would be swell. I wouldn't even care about getting OBJ back (although I wouldn't turn him down)--he's been sucking for air lately. If they needed to go down to Marvin, Brown or Ridley in order for you to get Gordon or Jones, I'd still be up for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J Samules will be missing time. I love Thielen a lot more then I even like Beckham. But you need Conner, so yes take it. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You think that’s a fair offer or too much? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they were so anxious to get Thielen that they were willing to give you Conner AND OBJ for Thielen alone, I think I would have started lower, like offering Thielen for Aaron and Marvin Jones, Thielen for Aaron Jones and Hollywood Brown, or even Thielen for Aaron Jones straight up. You could have even explored their feelings about Melvin Gordon or Saquon Barkley instead of Aaron Jones. You had a lot of negotiating room before you jumped straight into offering the player they wanted AND another player on top of that to get half of what he was offering in the first place. So yeah, too much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

show me the murray 49 Posted October 12, 2019 I like the original trade. Buying low on OBJ sounds like a no brainer to me, I know he’s done little so far but his upside is higher than Thielen in a run-first offense. And you’re getting an RB you really need chucked in. By all means explore getting a better RB but seems a good deal to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
