Doing a recycling of my young up and coming depth who are getting a good chunk of playing time/starting and some strong pieces like Landry, Slayton, Whitehead, Quincy plus some picks and a now starting QB for a couple of pieces that should put me over the top this year without having most of my return not mattering next year. For me Bosa is the biggest piece that I wanted as DE is the biggest hole in my overall team.

We had a lot of interests in each others teams so many small trades just coalesced into this giant one. With a few pieces could just be traded for separately with ease. 

[Browns GM (Junior)]

Browns accept. Looking to utilize veterans to acquire youth and draft capital to build for the future.

[Bills GM (Greg)]

I've been studying this trade for a few hours now, and after looking at the players and their numbers, I've come to the conclusion that on the surface it's a reasonably fair trade.

The Browns get a rookie 2nd tier starting QB in Finley. Quality young players like WR Slayton, DT Bryan, LB Landry, LB Williams, CB Johnson, CB Redmond and S Whitehead plus a few lottery picks. Plus a 2020 1st and two 2021 late rounders.

The Dolphins get seven point scoring veterans including the best DE in the NFL, Bosa, HOWEVER, THERE ARE TWO PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRADE THAT NEED TO BE WORKED OUT BEFORE IT CAN BE VOTED ON BY TAB.

First, the trade on MFL also includes LB Jerome Baker (MIA) that is not included on the ProBoards version. In my opinion, adding Baker to this trade really begins to tip it in favor of the Dolphins.

Second, the trade creates an illegal roster for the Browns with 52 players. At least two players would either have to be dropped or transferred to the Practice Squad if they meet the required criteria.

Trades must also be evaluated on a more macro basis. Are they in the best interest of the league? In this case, while this trade clearly gives the Dolphins a real advantage in their quest for a title, it also erases the traditional depth that has made the Dolphins a contender. They are taking on expiring and shorter term contracts plus tossing in a major portion of their draft capital. The Browns also keep a reasonable number of their quality young players like Gallman, Diggs, Parker, Lowery, Hicks, and Melvin.

PLEASE MAKE THE CORRECTIONS OUTLINED ABOVE AND SUBMIT A REVISED TRADE FOR TAB VOTING.

What is posted here should be evaluated not what’s on MFL. There will be a new trade posted on MFL since there was last minute tweaks. So there’s only one problem and Junior is getting on that.

[Bills GM (Greg)]

Approve (1-0) See my evaluation outlined above. While this trade has a lot of pieces, it seems to be a fair deal in my opinion.

Jaquan Johnson and Ollison are going to CLE's TS

[Nate (Lions GM)]

Looks like someone is going all in on one year, makes sense

Approved

[Bengals GM (Darryl)]

Too much top talent going one way, with too little in return imo.

The return on investment (ROI) on those top-tier players far outweighs what is being received. The CB's and S' are a wash imo. Both LB's can be tagged, while Martinez could (and most likely will) reap two 1st round picks after use through two more seasons.

Bosa can be extended relatively cheaply, and Brown, while the team currently suffers - could potentially still fetch at least a 1st round pick.

Veto 2-1

[JAGUARS GM (Kevin)]

Short term, this favours the Fins but I prefer Cleveland's end of it. A lot of very interesting players are heading their way and a first rounder too. One assumes CIN takes QB high next season limiting Finley's appeal but he gets first crack..
