Right, but in order to make room for Taylor on the PS, they might possibly decide to cut Winfree. If they do sign OBJ, unless he bombs or there are injuries, I don't think we will see much more of Amari this season, but that might not be a bad thing.
Yes. But they hardly play anyway. OJB would be sitting on the bench waiting for one of the other 5 to get hurt. And then there is next year. You can pay Malik and Winfree. OJB expects a bundle wherever he goes.
If they sign OBJ, it isn't to sit on the bench. Maybe for the first few weeks while he learns the playbook and practices with the offense. He would be the 2nd most talented WR on the roster, he wouldn't be sitting on the bench by his 3rd game.
Yup....forgot about Blair. Unless they really think he has more potential than Winfree or Taylor.
He'd be the 2nd best WR on the team why would he sit on the bench. In 3 WR sets you have Adams and OBJ on the outsides and Cobb in the slot.
The Pats have enough money to go over what the Browns owe him. I would just be a little surprised that he would pass on the chance to catch passes from #12 and a shot at a SB. He wouldn't have that in New England. BB seems to get a lot of the castoffs.
Too much of a 'me first' guy. Never have thought of him as a team player.
They don't have significantly more space than what the Packers do though. Question is, how much more than the minimum would the Packers be willing to go, and how much does Odell value who's throwing him the ball?
It really comes down to who wants to pay over what the Browns owe him, which is $4.25 M. If he gets less from the Packers or Pats or whoever, he still only makes $4.25M.
Exactly.
If he is looking for a multi year deal, the Packers aren't the place to look. I doubt that he didn't know that, before reportedly declaring that they were one of his desired teams. Also, if I was his agent, I would be saying "Look, if you are looking for a long term deal, do you really want me to try and negotiate one based on your numbers this year and last year, because its not going to be that great of a deal. My advice, go to the team that can help in making you look like you still are a really good player, get the new you on tape and lets work it in the off season for a great 4-5 year contract."
A 1 year deal for the rest of this season doesn't jeopardize that at all.
Perhaps they think it's all he is worth???
It isn't like they won't play. There will just be another player with skills and we will have to see how he does. But yes, EQ. And always the possibility of injuries.
How about learning the playbook, the lingo and listening to Rodgers and the coaches?
That was a click grabber is all. Either I am really missing something or some of these "reporters" are just idiots. If nobody is offering anymore than Cleveland owes him ($4.5 M) than really nobody is making a "better offer" if its just for the rest of this season. He is guaranteed the $4.5 M due to being a vested veteran. Just comes down to who he chooses to share the bill with Cleveland. If he's smart, take the vet min from your new team and leave them more money to potentially improve the team even more.
you think odel will bite?
Where have you been since last Thanksgiving? He hasn't dropped a pass in 11 months.
Odell isn't going to accept a multi year deal for such little money. He's out to prove himself for the rest of this season to cash in next offseason.
if you're right and OB 1 is not looking for a multi deal then packs have enough cap to sign him then tell his **** to hit the road next year. I wouldn't mind that.
