OBJ on the block

Actually two good seasons, he was injured for the season after all but 7 games and still had close to 800 yards and 6 TD's.      I'm just saying, Smith was as much or more of a thug (criminally and on the field) than OBJ and he's the best around here.     Also, I don't think you can count championships when we're a team that has NEVER had a back to back winning season.     It's not like we're the Patriots.    I still don't think it's even serious, anyway.  

It won't be to us, but I  think his getting traded is definitely serious.

When the owner of the team is willing to publicly state that he's tired of you, you're probably not sticking around.

OBJ is not up to Smitty's level or stature at this point. 

always a pointless comparison when comparing someone's long career to young guy with a couple seasons in the books.  One guy always has an edge because you can nitpick the long career and focus on all the good and dismiss the bad more easily.  

Beckham's first 4 put him at trajectory ahead of 89 though.

I hate OBJ. I think he's human trash and a real piece of poo.

 

That said, I'd still want him on the team because he could help the team win games. Continuously asking Cam to play with sub par WRs is killing the offense. Funchess isn't even in the same stratosphere as OBJ. He would single-handedly elevate the offense to Super Bowl levels.

Absolutely not worth a high pick. You can't approach this situation in a bubble. Here is a player who is currently unhappy with his contract, threatening to hold out, and has stated that he wants to be one of the highest paid players in the league.Just had a controversial video with apparent drug use go viral. Not to mention is coming off a very serious leg injury.

Experts expect Beckham to command a contract worth a net value of $17.5 million per season, with somewhere in the range of $55 million guaranteed. One source is confident that when the deal is made, it will dwarf what Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown received. Think in excess of $100 million and more than $20 million per season, and possibly even bigger than the $113 million total package negotiated by former Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson in 2012.

A late 3rd round pick...... possibly. And that is a stretch at this point.

the old 89 was let go...because he was more bark than bite.  We wouldn't of let the younger 89 go.  We would have put up with his bs...like we always did when it was worth it. 

Beckham is more of a headache now than old Steve Smith, young Steve Smith, happy Steve Smith, angry Steve Smith, offended Steve Smith, drunk Steve Smith or any other version of Steve Smith that has ever existed.

The huddle's all time favorite Panther wasn't really that different than OBJ.  He was just our OBJ type.

I mean we don't have the money.  So it ain't gonna happen.  But the man this board views as the GOAT.....pretty much was an OBJ type player.  Maybe more of a headache in reality. 

 

Smith played with an edge. Odell was just throwing tantrums on the field, big difference.

I have a friend who worked a short stint in college athletics in which he had the chance to meet OBJ (as well as other NFL players) for a weekend while running a camp for high school football players, top prospects in the region, at his campus.  This was OBJs first off-season after being drafted.  He told me at the time he was surprised the guy was still alive after that weekend.  He apparently took the opportunity to party at highest of highs.  Years later he seems to be the same guy.  Talented player, but if he did ball out for us wed watch him walk to a team willing to pay him QB money.  Because we already know that's what he wants.

[Snake]

Send him to Dallas.

Cleveland makes a lot of sense.  They have the draft capital and cap space to make it work.  

Also with Landry there you could convince yourself that he might be able to help with the "drama".

That team on offense would be loaded AF

[pantherclaw]

Just stay away from that stupidity.

I mean if you look at what other receivers got this off season, yeah 17.5mill is about right, as OBJ is light years better than most of them.    Someone probably does it.

[ThatsJustAJ]

Would love to have him

We can’t afford.

didnt know we suddenly hated “diva” WRs in Carolina 

[Proudiddy]

Lol, I'm not entertaining the idea of whether or not he could fit here, and it's not like Gettleman's petty ass would even deal with our organization.  I just came to say my prediction is one piece away from fulfillment lol...  said they're gonna hate his guts when he comes in there and gets rid of OBJ and Collins...  and what do you know?  Lolololololololololololol.

If you think this happens without the owners being on board, you're not paying attention.

And let's not act like Beckham is just an innocent pawn in all of this.
