Well, obviously everyone should know by now I love Terrell Owens. Well, I have him and A.D(Adrian Peterson) in ever league, at least one of them. So far I've done a solid job of packaging them together now. I have another offer on the table and wondering if it's a good one or should I pass on it..

I give - Reggie Bush, Tony Romo, Larry Fitz.

I get - Terrell Owens, J.Addia, Matt Cassel.

Now my backup quarterback is Eli Manning, so he'd start likely. I don't see any solid QB's in the free agent market either.

So my RB's would be Addia, Peterson, and I have Fred Taylor as backup. My wide outs would be Terrell Owens, Holt, Marvin Harrison, and Stallworth.(I know, I am owning everybody in age.. But meh!)

Thoughts on if I should accept?
 
I would not do it...

First off, the best player in the deal is Romo.. That team has an explosive offense, and Witten, Barber (perhaps Jones) are all guys that will be getting looks besides Owens...

Also, Kurt Warner has been impressive thus far, and tends to put up a ton of yards regardless of where he's at.. Fitzgerald will benefit from this...

Bush ?? I love the guy, but he's not an NFL back... Nonetheless, the Saints offense should once again prove to be very explosive... Bush could score from 3 different areas throughout the course of a game as well..

You already have old receivers, so nobody knows how Harrison and Holt will hold up...I'd hold on to Fitzgerald..

And I wouldn't trust Matt Cassell at all...If Eli goes down, you don't want Matt Cassell as your starter without any type of legit backup...I know he "managed" that game against the Jets the other day, but if it wasn't for little screen passes to Welker, the guy would have had like a 100 yards thrown without any TD's against an average defense.. Not to mention he holds on to the ball to long... (But again, 1st start for the guy... I'm just not impressed)
 
^ What he said...

Cassell is in their to manage games not win them. They're relying on their defense and Maroney/Faulk/Morris to rack up a lot of yards via the run and short dink and dunk screen passes and thing of which we saw against the Jets.

Maybe they'll open the playbook a little as the season goes on, but Cassell is what he is, a player that hasn't really played since high school. Granted he's done ok filling in so far, you can't expect him to do anything remotely close to what Romo does.

In regards to Addai, he's really been slowed by the hamstring injury, I actually just traded him for Jay Cutler before Cutler had the massive game, but I had RB depth [Turner, Chris Johnson, McFadden, Larry Johnson, Fargas,] lol so I wasn't going to put up with anymore 15 carries for 20 yard games from him. Not to mention the Colts offensive line is in shambles right now.

You're basically trading 3 solid players for TO and a so far this season below average running back.

Don't get caught up with a favorite player and overvalue them and give up too much.
 
Thanks for the comments guys.. I think what I'm going to do is ask him if he wants Eli instead, because losing Romo and getting just Cassel is to much of a risk on my half.

If he takes Eli instead, I will accept without a doubt, but I will miss Reggie.

Didn't Addai have more carries than yards the other night? or was the someone else?
 
I offered him Manning instead of Romo, and he said the only way was if he could get Romo.. So I declined. Just seemed like I was losing to much in the deal, especially since I get the points regardless if T.O scores or not, because Romo is passing him the ball.. But I wanted that combo.

All well.
