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
I think if he’s the star he thinks he is then a nice base with incentives for playing time and production shouldn’t bother him
If he wants to make big money then all he has to do is earn it
I wouldn’t mind paying him 12-14 mil if he earned it. A base about 5 and the rest incentives. If he’s the stud he thinks he is then he will get paid. But in no reality is he getting 20 mil

Just asking someone the same question. I know Spotrac has a value of around $13M ........I would think $10-
He’s been offered 11 or 12 per. If that’s box wine prices to him, he needs to reevaluate some things.
If he’s actually been offered that in guaranteed money I’d move on
I wouldn’t give him that much money
I’d give him a chance to earn that much but he’d have to earn it’s

I just thought this also. Guaranteed money could also be the holdup. In other words, teams could very be offering a nice contract BUT not a lot of G-money.

Probably so
At his age with his injury history he’s just not worth that much guaranteed money
I wouldn’t care to pay him that much if he earned it. Bet on himself and take a contract that has a reasonable guarantee and incentives to get in the 10-12 range

He’s still trying to bank on his Super Bowl performance a year ago. He hasn’t played in a year and is coming off an ACL. He’s 30 years old and can’t stay healthy. If he’s not willing to sign a reasonable prove it deal I doubt anyone will sign him. No way will someone commit long-term to him.

Yes, but he is probably seeing if he can get more.
+1 .........also, remember he wants a multi-year deal and G-money. I am willing to bet a red penny, Jerry has so made him the best offer like you said. ( 3-year deal with 2 years guaranteed int $10-12M range )

I would offer him 15 million per year for the rest of his life but if he blows out one of his glass knees he has to pay it all back plus 10%. Would be the easiest money I will ever make.

If OBJ wants to play again he’s going to have to likely agree to a deal where a team has an out after a year.

Well the last time I looked, items that haven't sold in the past year are typically put on clearance - I'm afraid someone has too high of an opinion on himself. Welcome to the clearance bin OBJ.

Don't sign this guy Jerry - please.
Make the trade for Dhop and move on.

Being one of the teams interested, one can only assume he's talking about Jerry and cap boy


Any team that signs OBJ for the money he's looking for deserves to implode! This dude has had two knee surgeries in two years and hasn't played a down since the 2021 SB. The Cowboys would be insane to sign this dude for anything close to what he wants................

Everyone is cheap or OBJ has a big ole ego. Too big for both he and Jerral.

Dhop is the guy you want.

I agree, just a matter if he will take it or not.
