OBJ: It's just time to get contract done

[robjay04]

Agree ....no way in hell he's leaving w/o at least one tag. Bottom line, he has ZERO leverage over the next two-three years.

Judging by his comments, it's going to a huge distraction if it doesn't get done.

Giants also have a pretty awesome safety that will be asking to be paid as the top player at his position as well. That could be a factor.

I still think the main reason we let Murray walk is because we didn’t negotiate a long term deal with Dez beforehand. If Dez wasn’t up for an extension too, we may have tagged Murray.

If you can’t come up with a deal with one, you may have to let one walk.

 

[CouchCoach]

He needs a fat contract. I heard the kicking net is wanting a divorce.

 

[cowboy_ron]

I like OJB is only focused on money

We have one like that too.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

We have one like that too.

And we had one with T.O. too. Never won anything with him either.

 

[robjay04]

our fans would be thrilled if he signed here.

Can’t say I would be against it mainly because I think he fits Dak’s skill set perfectly.

Most great receivers have a huge ego. Even the great Antonio Brown has been more vocal as of late.

Odell is probably the best receiver talent to suit up since the two guys that got inducted into the hall of fame last night. Nobody should be hoping the Giants resign him long term.

No way does that contract negotiation get resolved in a smooth fashion. His Ego won't allow it. Along with money, he'll want the FO to bend the knee and put some RESPEKT on his name before he signs...

 

[NumOneQB]

Y’all are nuts not wanting him as a Cowboy. He’s an elite talent and a game changer. With that said, he’ll get at least a franchise tag. No way NY let’s him walk without a tag or contract.

 

[CouchCoach]

Consider Brown got 18M and there's a new benchmark for this tool.

The Giants have no run game, a pathetic OL and immobile QB. Go ahead, please, make him the highest paid WR in the league or just the NFC.

Interesting to see if this has any effect on the Cowboys efforts to get Bryant's contract down to "reasonable".

He's also a major headcase and we already have one of those.

At least 17.0 million average

A Brown 17.0 million
D Hopkins 16.2 million
AJ Green 15.0 million
D Adams 14.5 million
Ju Jones 14.3 million
D Thomas 14.0 million
D Bryant 14.0 million
TY Hilton 13.0 million

I'm sure they mean for him to replace Dez.

 

[RomoFor6]

Best receiver in the league to me and would be perfect for Dak. (Yes he's better than Brown)

 

[Melonfeud]

I’ll give you one.

He would be a perfect fit with Dak.

He gets open with quickness and he has a huge catch radius. That type of number one receiver would be a much better fit than the current skill set that Dez brings to the table.

I can definitely sing out an
'I COPY' on this observation of yours robjay04 ,,,most notably in getting a return on what's currently being being shelled out to our #1 WR,,,but MAN ALIVE! if you or anybody else thought Dez had some ' bats in his belfry' ,,,,this OBJ has a mosh pit of snakes squirming ALL AROUND IN HIS,,,

 

[Techsass]

I don't hang out with any players, so I don't give a darn about their personality. OBJ is in the elite arena & needs to get paid. Hopefully way more than NY can afford.

Picking #2 should get them a brand new QB for the future plus probably 3 more guys that can hit the field this season. I bet they do something to fix their Oline.

 

[GenoT]

Wait til OBJ’s @32yo or so...then Jerry’ll bag him for big-$$.

 

[cowboy_ron]

I'm sure they mean for him to replace Dez.

Even then, our coaching staff is not strong enough to handle and control those types of personalities to get the most out of the like a Jimmy or Belichick could........what we have right now is the tail wagging the dog type coaching.

I saw on a you tube where Antonio Brown& Curt Cousins broke OBJ's prior record& set a new Guinness book of world records in catching x number of balls in x amount of time,,or some kinda $*** like that

 

[viman96]

Money is an awesome motivator on the field.

Double edge sword if that is all you are focued on. Mentally go in the tank thinking about what you do not have.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I never have gotten why Dez, OBJ, and WR get vilified for getting mad and acting out on the sideline but Tom Brady, Carson Palmer, Troy Aikman and the like get a pass for ranting, attacking equipment, and getting in people's faces.

Well I get it but I have never appreciated it.

OBJ is spectacular. He runs routes better than anyone in the NFL. Better than Antonio Brown. Better than AJ Green. Better than anyone. He has elite quickness and very goods speed. He carries that team's offense and is one of if not the most explosive playmakers in the league..

I hope that they low ball him because the NYP and that like throws shade on him. I would love him on our team.

If you can’t come up with a deal with one, you may have to let one walk.

Stephen has gone on enough about the longevity and injury risk associated with the player that I think they just don't like spending money on the position.
