Trade offer...

**The Bad Guy** · 09-24-2012, 08:35 PM

I was offered tonight Calvin Johnson and McGahee for Fitzgerald and Doug Martin.

My initial thought was to reject. My RB situation is awful, but Martin really hasn't helped it. I have Bush, Martin and a whole pile of shit.

However, it does intrigue me to potentially have Calvin, AJ Green and Amendola as my WRs. I still don't trust Kolb with Fitz.

Should I reconsider my initial no? I know McGahee has a rib cart. issue but don't know how serious it could be.

I would do it. Johnson's an elite player and can win a matchup for your team on 1 play. And McGahee seems to be a great goal line option too.

**The Franchise** · 09-25-2012, 02:47 PM

What RBs are out on the market right now?

WV · 09-25-2012, 02:49 PM

Do it!

**Buck** · 09-25-2012, 05:50 PM

I would accept that in a heartbeat.

Yeah, he's getting Calvin Johnson. That's why I said it.

**The Bad Guy** · 09-26-2012, 08:16 AM

Well I snoozed and I lost. He ended up trading Calvin elsewhere.

There's literally nothing on the waiver wire at RB.

Wow. I wouldn't have even asked. You should have accepted that in a heartbeat.

Fritz88 · 09-26-2012, 01:03 PM

I would have accepted right away.

L.A. Chieffan · 09-26-2012, 01:16 PM

Chris Johnson for Doug Martin?

**ChiefGator** · 09-26-2012, 02:12 PM

I'ld rather have Martin.

My hesitation was for 2 reasons.

1) McGahee is likely out this week, as is Reggie Bush. I have no depth so I would have basically punted this week.

2) Stafford's injury. First it was a hammy, now it's a hip.

I love Calvin a lot, but hopefully the cold feet don't come back to haunt me.

**Shaid** · 10-02-2012, 09:06 PM

I'd have taken it. McGahee gets goal line work because Peyton likes to audible down to runs. Calvin Johnson is a no brainer.

As a Calvin owner, I kind of hope Hill gets a shot. Stafford doesn’t look comfortable in the pocket and his attitude seems to be “use Calvin as a decoy, get it to the other guys”. Hill is the only reason Calvin put up 30+ a couple weeks ago – he was around 15 when Stafford got hurt (with only a few minutes left).
