What makes you think he only talking about one owner........seems to me he's implying some ( maybe all ) are not willing to give him what he thinks he's worth.
He's probably talking about all of them, because nobody wants to pay him Top 5 WR money when his knees are held together with paper clips. Has he even done a workout for any teams yet? Believe that was a big sticking point last year.

I'm out on this chode. Go get Hopkins. He's better and always has been. OBJ is more hype and stupidity than production.
Yea I'm pretty much off his bandwagon........if he's forced to sign for half of what he thinks he's worth, what player am I getting? One committed to the team and winning or a disappointed player picking up his last pay

He may still be a top 10 receiver but the medical issues would need to be further in the rear view mirror before he could get anything near 20 mill. He either needs to bet on himself and take a 1 year 10 million and if he comes out the other side in good shape, he could get something closer to 15-20 mill and multiyear. Or he could suck it up and take a 3 year 33 million contract somewhere (is this similar to Lazard?) with maybe 15 million guaranteed. My 2 cents. I would be fine bringing him in for a 1 year 10 million contract. And since he's a free agent, we won't need to give up a draft pick. That being said, I would love DHop as well but not to give up a 1st rounder for him.

More like he’s selling a straw house and wants to get brick house money…

I am in line with this thinking. I think OBJ thinks he's an elite WR still and should be paid that way.

He's not. And teams aren't going to pay him when you factor everything in................ coming off major surgery, hasn't played for a year, has his "drama" at times. I think teams are floating one year prove it deals or something like a 2 year deal and he's holding out for a 3-4 year, big guarantee type deal.

I'd be stunned if he ended up with some massive contract. I laugh at Jerry and Stephen waiting FA out until guys get desperate but this is one time, I absolutely would wait it out.
After two major knee surgeries in 4 years, declining stat numbers and some strange off-field behavior, he’s extremely overrated. He definitely still has some skill, but he’s not what he once was with the giants or Cle. He had a few good games with the rams, especially in the playoffs. But he has not had a consistent season since 2019. Thinking this guy is still elite is a poor evaluation in my opinion.

OBJ is only worth vet minimum ! lol.
That is a example of his ego. Not a team player, just in it for $ and self glory.

If he's asking for $12-15MM that might be too much too.
Lol No it isnt. He is a better player than Michael Gallup, I can guarantee you that. In fact, hes a better player than everyone yall have been begging for w the exception of Deandre Hopkins
