Part of this is because youth in general is overvalued in dynasty leagues but the bigger factor is ego. That 1.01 only increases in value over time. Alvin Mentian Kamara is an American football running back for the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League. So my advice was to press on and tell the owner he was interested but he needed adequate value.At this point we bounced around a lot of potential moves, which to me is a best practice as a fantasy owner. Once emotion rears its ugly head, you’re in trouble.
While that example might be extreme, this is the chess game we play as dynasty owners.This was the question I posed Joe and was met with, “No shot.”Still, undeterred, I laid out my case: You can either take risks or you can be behind in the standings to the guys who do. Don't look now, but Alvin Kamara is one step closer to earning his big NFL payday. Today, they face a dilemma. Saints GM … Owners get so enamored with future draft capital – especially those precious 1st Round picks – that they overrate their worth. At times you engage in trade talks with an owner and what starts out as Corey Davis and 2.10 turns into much more. This offer was turned down, which I understood because I didn’t feel there was much realistic chance of it going through to begin with.The other variable for me is I felt he would be buying high on Johnson or Jones. And really, it never hurts to reach out and ask, right? You concede more and more ground and before you know it you have given up Corey Davis, a 2020 1st Round pick, and a 2020 2nd Round pick. Will Kamara holdout?Drew Brees says the decision to come back to the Saints was for his team and that he's trying to chase another Super Bowl.On an early Saturday morning call with reporters, the New Orleans Saints quarterback explained his stance on social issues.The New Orleans Saints tied the NFL lead with seven representatives on the NFL's Top 100 list this year.Saints News Network's John Hendrix, Bob Rose, and Mike Detillier give their "quick" analysis of the Nigel Bradham and Bennie Fowler signings.Despite a Super Bowl-contending roster, New Orleans still has some key on-field questions.If football started today, Cam Jordan would be ready to go for the Saints to help drive to a championship, and it sounds like he wouldn't be the only one.New Orleans adds veteran depth to their receiving corps with the addition of a Super Bowl champion.Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 New Orleans Saints focus is on "Football and Winning Super Bowl 55.Even with the possibility of expanded regular season rosters, some veterans could be on the outside looking in on this deep New Orleans squad.Saints News Network's Kyle Mosley is joined by Mike Detillier to talk about the Saints signing free-agent LB Nigel Bradham. The owner of Team A had quite a few contracts coming due at the end of 2019 so he was looking at potentially losing guys like Kamara for nothing. Accumulating high round dynasty picks gives us a chance to do just that.With that in mind, I had no issue in advising Joe to give up two 1st Round picks plus Davis in order to acquire someone like Kamara. He was looking to upgrade at running back and he was hoping to package Davis and his Rookie 2.10 in order to do so. Knowing that, Joe settled on offering this:In looking at this from the standpoint of the other owner (a caveat I will get to later), I didn’t think Joe’s offer would be nearly enough. He played college football at the University of Tennessee, and was drafted by the Saints in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft. You decide what picks but at least try to engage in negotiation.Joe explained the Kamara owner wasn’t high on Davis – who besides me is – so it would cost a lot. In 2017, the New Orleans Saints drafted one of their best group of young and talented NFL players. The other caveat is that Joe had a ton of draft capital for 2020: Four 1st Round picks and three 2nd Round pick.

Joe got his guy but you can see the progression of how this morphed into a mega deal from a smaller one. I believe in hunting whales which meant I was looking to get Joe the best player even if it meant parting with some of those picks.Tyler Ghee smartly recommended going after Kerryon Johnson or Aaron Jones from Team B. Would the Lions trade their No. We went back and forth in chat and at one point I told him it might be better to sit tight since in my mind he was a year or two away from being a top competitor. New Orleans Saints Running Back Alvin Kamara is a talented and dynamic player in the NFL. Initially we looked at the running backs on two rosters of owners in his league who were interested in Davis:A few caveats for context here: Joe’s league uses a system where they have money at the end of each season to sign players. Should and/or can the Saints pay him this year or next year? But so far, there have been no reports of any trade talks involving Kamara. The response in chat was to smash the accept button, netting him a stud running back while not trading away his best future asset. Don’t be too proud to ask a question and Joe asked about the following:Given Joe’s roster construction, I didn’t feel Brown was a smart trade target.
