Twitter: OBJ update

[Risen Star]

Medically cleared for practice. Just getting in football shape now. Visiting the Bills and Giants next week and the Cowboys on the 5th.

 

[FanofJerry]

I would think I would visit team I am most likely going to last as to use the other teams offers/perks against the final team I would visit.

Attempting to drive up the price because he's not going to NY where they play on a terrible field for knees. Buffalo is fading, but a possibility. I think Dallas is where Beckham wants to be, but he needs leverage when he talks to Stephen about money.

 

[slick325]

So, he never makes it to Dallas? Got it!

 

[RS12]

Comes down to Bills and Cowboys. Unless the Gnats offer stupid money.

 

[Runwildboys]

Waiting until the 5th because he needs time to get all his stuff in the moving van.

Giants might be the most desperate team of the bunch.

 

[superonyx]

If he really wants 20m per then I hope Jerry tells him what he told Randy Gregory, "El paso"

Like to have him but 2 acl's in 2 years on the same knee.... He is not worth more than Gallup money. He knows this is his last payday.

Buffalo just has injuries. They will be fine. But he doesnt want to play in the cold of Buffalo or live there. Dallas has to be his #1 choice. No way does he goto NYC with Daniel Jones at QB.

 

[TheHerd]

We won’t sign him. Tried to make the numbers work but couldn’t get together. Book it. I actually see a Chiefs or 9ers signing.

 

[Majic]

Very surprised Ravens are not interested

 

[Rayman70]

What am I missing? He is hurt and we might get burned by signing a guy like this 4 big $. Im a NO. Unless we get assurances .

 

[FaSho]

Giants don't need him... they have Golladay!

 

[CashMan]

100% pass. He is not a game changer.

This is most likely his mindset. But people have been known to sacrifice for extra money.

Ravens don’t want to pay the money and the Ravens offense is about running the football with Lamar Jackson. OBJ will be a Cowboy if the money is right. OBJ is also looking for multi year contract as well.

I can see this playing out. I'd say Bills, Chiefs or 9ers have to be frontrunners.

 

[Jipper]

He's not signing here, too much money for Jerry's taste and he will get wined and dinned by both NY teams way before he even gets to dallas

 

[USArmyVet]

So conservatively say at least 2-3 weeks to get into football shape so even if signed in the next week, by the time OBJ gets into football shape and learns the Dallas offense, at best you are looking at him not really being up to speed until near the end of December so is this an attempt to make OBJ a playoff push type signing? Also, there is no way he will settle for a 3-5 game contract so what is Dallas really looking to pay him over what would possibly be a multi-year deal?

OBJ stats:

2020 (7 games): 23 catches 319 yards 3 td's

2021 (14 games): 44 catches 537 yards 5 td's

While he had back to back just over 1,000 yards seasons in 2018 & 2019, he is nowhere near the WR he was the first 3 seasons of his career (2014-2016) so I am not sure why all the desire to sign him to Dallas.
