Should I make this trade?

I am in the 2nd year of a 5 year keeper league where we keep our entire roster from year to year. Anyway, I have a bunch of good RB's. I have LT, Forte, Slaton and Jacobs. My WR group looks good but isn't performing. I have Wayne, Braylon Edwards, Calvin Johnson and Engram. So with it being a 5 year league and LT getting old, I was thinking about trading LT for Larry Fitzgerald. I offered Jacobs but he wants LT. Does this trade make sense? I'd still have Slaton/Forte and Jacobs for my RB's and my WR's would be Wayne/Fitzgerald and either Braylon or Calvin in the 3rd spot.

oh yea, I can get his 1st pick for next years draft too which would be good for someone in the free agents or a rookie.

    Actually I just saw the same trade asked about a few days ago, except it wasn't a keeper league...

    But even with it being a keeper league, my answer is just the same.

    What I can say, though is that you could do better. L.T. is overrated, but that's a good thing for you if you're looking to trade him. You could definitely get more out of this deal. Maybe not with this particular person, but possibly with someone else in the league. You could miss out on a great opportunity if you sell him too soon, too cheap. It's like the stock market in that sense...

    I can see trading for Fitz as his value has shot up due to Boldin's injury, but I think you should try to get a backup RB in addition to Fitz.

    If you're dead-set on going through with it as is, I'd suggest taking some time to think about it. The trade DOES make sense, but you could be getting more out of it. You're going a LONG way from offering Jacobs to offering LT. It's obvious how you value Fitz, and it's obvious how he values Fitz. If he values him that highly, you might be able to get more. Just try to negotiate it. Try to squeeze a little more out of the trade. It'll be worth the time to think it out.

    Getting the 1st pick as well could really make it go in your favor. If you can't get all three, then I would be comfortable settling with Fitz and the 1stRd pick. Just see what else can be done before you rush into it.

    Best of luck with it.

    I would do it. LT might be over that hill that a lot of the greats climb (see Shawn Alexander).

    It sounds like a good trade. Especially getting the #1 pick. I say pull the trigger.

    yeah, i think that would actually be a very good idea, LT is slowing down rapidly.
