Trade Antonio Gates and Corey Dillon for Kevin Jones and Marion Barber?

My other RB's are LJ, Gore, and Deshaun. My backup TE is LJ Smith. I think Gates is a lot to give up. So thanks for your advice.

    Only if you're on crack. Keep Gates and Dillon. Corey will start to give up more time and carries to Maroney but not anytime soon. Gates will be Rivers best target as he gets his feet under him. Barber is a goal line back only and Kevin Jones plays for the Detroit Liedowns, enough said.

    I would trade Gates while he still has "Big Name" value. But I wouldnt make this trade. Gates is just an average TE this year since the Chargers dont throw as often with Rivers at QB. See where you are week and make a trade only to improve at that spot. If you dont get any offers that will help you, then dont make a trade. Sometimes the best trades are the ones you dont make. LJ Smith will do just fine if a deal is made. Good Luck

    No way. Keep Gates and Dillon. Gore and LJ with Dillon mixed in because of byes and injuries should be good enough for you at RB. Gates is a huge upgrade over Smith imo.

    No way I'd make this deal. You're already heavy at RB, why trade away the premier TE, and the lead back on a run heavy team like the Pats for two mediocre backs on bad teams? If I were you, I'd be looking at dealing these guys for other needs.

    It would be a decent trade but you have to decide what your weaknesses are because Barber doesn't get enough carries. However, Dillion splits his time with a rookie back-up.

    keep gates.

    barber will be a backup most of the season.
