10 team dynasty standard scoring with all TDs worth 6 and we get 1 ppr

my team.. we start 2 QBs, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 wr/te and 2 flex (wr/rb/te)

QB- Romo, Derek Anderson, Garrard, Dellhomme, JT O'Sullivan

RB- Westbrook, Frank Gore, Reggie Bush, McGahee, Mendenhall, Fred Taylor, Ahmad Bradshaw, Torain, Lorenzo Booker

WR- Colston, Andre Johnson, Chad Johnson, Lee Evans, Courtney Taylor

TE- Gates, Tony G, Zach Miller

I offered the owner Garrard, Tony G and McGahee for his Tom Brady. that is a steal for me in this league as Gonzo wont see much time at TE for me and I still would be deep at the RB position plus the added bonus of being able to start Romo/Brady at my QB spots.  I have been trying to get more WRs but no one wants to trade any right now.  The Brady owner's team is pretty bad and he has done some bad trades, so I wouldnt be surprised if he accepted the offer I sent.

My question is, if he turns that deal down, is offering Gore instead of McGahee too much for Brady?  Or what if I offer DA instead of Garrard in the original deal?

I think you posted your roster in another thread.  I think getting Brady is a GREAT move for your team considering you start 2 QB's and all td's are 6 points and you have ROMO.  You'll have a near monopoly on QB talent on your roster, with Brady, Anderson and Romo.  Simply having them three means other people aren't benefitting from the points they will score, and you still have the best lineup during bye weeks too.  No weakness at what I feel is the strongest/most important position in your leagues format(QB).


I would offer the first trade for sure.  Who knows what is going to happen to Mcgahee, and TG and Garrard are throwaways at that point so McGahee for Brady is great.  


If he declines, I still think Gore for Brady straight up is another trade you can easily make and would jump on.  If he's still hesitant, throw in a draft pick or something and get the deal done!  Your roster is strong and getting Brady is a great move if you can pull it off!!!

IMO, if I was the Brady owner, it would take a sick trade to get me off of Brady. There is no way I'm letting you have the #1,2 qb especially when you start both of them! Just looking at your team, you should be a contender now, if you did land Brady I think you should just get the trophy tomorrow lol. Good luck with the trade

After I offered him Fred Taylor, Gonzo, Garrard , he said its close but he needs a better RB.  i sent the offer with Mcgahee but he still hasnt responded.  He might be having second thoughts and I'll email him telling him I'll give him a 4th rounder next year or something.


and yes, my roster is stacked for a dynasty league and it is IMO the best team in the league, but here is my nearest competitor and he arguably has a better redraft team than me (starter wise).

QB- ROethy, Eli,

RB- TOmlinson, Jamal Lewis, Thomas Jones

WR- Reggie Wayne, Terrell Owens, Welker, Tory Holt,

TE- Winslow

bench - Hines Ward, Santana Moss and not much else

Basically, I'm worried because of his damn WRs lol.

I honestly think you getting Brady will kill that league. I see 9 owners leaving that league in a year or two…. Laughing
