He's trading Larry Johnson, Ronnie Brown, and Lee Evans for Shaun Alexander, plus I need depth in rb's and Brown helps it. Or is there something I'm missing here.............

Dear Pressured in US,
That's a must accept, especially in a league with 10 or more managers and deep benches.
Johnson and Alexander are both tier one RB's, the best their are... you're receiving Johnson + two other good players.
But you can also reject the trade, depending on who you would have to drop. The players you're dropping just hypothetically add them to the trade, then decide if that's fair.

I was going to put my own 2 cents in, but then I read The Date Doctor's advice (probably a good thing it's not on dating...jk) and it is exactly what I would have said.
Expect Ronnie Brown to be a top 10 RB by the end of the year. My only question about LJ is this. He has the talent to be the #1 RB, but he has never been the starter over the entire season and hasn't had the pressure. It might mean nothing, or he may have semi-realistic numbers of 1600 yards rushing, 400 rec, 15 total TD's...definitely top 3 RB #'s, just not as outrageous as some people think.
Lee Evans has been a TD machine for the sad Bills. If he had a good QB getting him the ball, he might be a top 15 WR.
Like TDD said, you will have to drop 2 players to accept that trade, so take that into consideration when accepting.

Giving up two powerhouse RBs and a potential WR stud for one powerhouse RB is beyond a no-brainer.
Larry Johnson will become the next fantasy superstar, eclipsing Shaun Alexander with little trouble. If Johnson were to have started all 16 games last season, LJ would have been close to hitting the 2500 yard mark and taken the single season TD record with 29 (to Alexander's 28).
Ronnie Brown will have the starting backfield all to himself. In his rookie season, he was vicious and made Dolphin fans everywhere forget about Ricky "Smoke Stack" Williams. With Daunte Culpepper at QB, Brown will be poised to unleash an even stronger sophomore season.
Lee Evans has the potential to become a sleeper pick in many leagues. With the QB question running rampant in Buffalo, Evans will be under many people's radar. He will make an excellent #2 or #3 WR.
Take the trade ... then take the league championship with ease.

Are you serious? Someone is really offering you this. Accept the offer NOW, before he changes his mind. Larry Johnson should be the top fantasy RB this year, and Ronnie Brown also could be HUGE in Miami. In my mind, Shaun Alexander straight up for Ronnie Brown would be close, but with Larry Johnson also included, it is an absolute no brainer. Say yes today.

Is he an idiot?
I cant trade Alexander for Johnson straight up, not that I want to though. But you are also getting Ronnie Brown and Lee Evans. I think you should ask him to take Evans out, because you would need to drop 2 players off of your team if you gethim too.
I would definatly accept the trade.

Larry Johnson, he will have a huge year and WILL be MVP next year. If u look at last years stats, Larry johnson almost had more rushing yards then shaun Alexander, Larry only started 9 games, shaun started 16, larry had 21 total TDs and Shaun had 28. if larry started the whole season he would have broken 30+TDs. Take that trade, greatest trade i have seen in my life,

If he does that then you should go to his home and give him a BIG hug, dude! Here are some stats for you: Shawn Alexander was #1 with 1880 rushing yards, Larry Johnson was #3 with 1750 rushing yards, and even Ronnie Brown was #20 as a rookie and back-up to Ricky Williams with 907 rushing yards! Also, if you want a strange statistic here's one for you: whenever someone lands the cover of EA Sports Madden video game, it's proven everytime that they don't do well their next season. 2003 cover was Marshall Faulk, 2004 cover was Michael Vick, 2005 was Ray Lewis, and 2006 was Donovan McNabb! It sounds crazy, but for the past 4 years it's been true. So take the trade, man! He will regret that!

I would jump all over that trade before the other owner changes his mind. You get two top running backs for the price of one, plus a great WR. Also, I think Larry Johnson is going to have a HUGE season this year. It will be his 1st full season as a starter. Alexander will have another good year, but he can't post the numbers he did last year. Larry Johnson led the NFL in the final eaight games last year. Take this deal quickly!!

I'd take Larry Johnson even though Shaun Alexander is ranked number 1.
