OBJ Traded to Cleveland

[Bigdog]

NFLN is now reporting that OBJ wants to renegotiate his contract that he signed last year. Wants to get what Brown got from the Raiders. This could get interesting.

No excuses his 2nd year? In Cleveland?

Offensively he doesn't. Hunt, Chubb, Duke, Landry, Calloway, ODB, Njoku.......name me a more team stacked than that.....that has to be a top 5 unit in the league on paper right now. But we know games aren't won on paper so there's that.

 

[dwreck27]

Why? They have 2 #1s (#6 overall & #17) and 2 #3s...

Traded away 2 former all pros

Would have been better to keep those and then stack up for another run?

Is he getting more than what Brown got now or is he trying to get a raise? I thought he had a bigger deal than what Brown got.

They didn’t say but said he makes 17 mil this year.

Guess the Giant's FO and coaching staff were impressed with our offense without Amari Cooper , because that's what they're going to look like this season...................

BTW ....those criticizing GM Gentlemen, no way in hell he moves 3 elite players w/o owner approval

Giants paid OBJ $21.459 million for one year

The Giants claimed repeatedly that they didn’t sign Odell Beckham to trade him. And they’ve now traded him. After paying him $21.459 million for one year.

That’s the final total of the money paid by the Giants to Beckham under the terms of the new contract, coming from a $20 million signing bonus and a base salary of $1.459 million

Hefty price for Beckham.

Hershal Walker says "Hi"....

Post of the year right here....

Nice find.....

Just when you think Cleveland is headed in the right direction...they go and do this dumb trade. Take on that albatross of a contract....open up a hole @ safety...burn 2 high draft picks.

All I can say is...Browns are gonna Brown... regardless.

Yep.

And I'm not going to read every page of this thread, but does anyone wonder if the Giants are settling themselves up for sacrificing the 2019 season for a shot at Tua or another one of what will be a great QB class in 2020?

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Dallas needs to start making moves. Almost every team has done something except Dallas.

If it's the right move, yes, but I don't like the idea terribly of making moves just for the sake of it.

That’s exactly what they’re doing. Eli is done and they’re unloading any big contracts.

I 100% believe NY is in full tank mode.

 

[Dallas_Cowboys50]

best news of FA so far!...gets him out of our division and helps the Browns hopefully beat the Stealers twice

 

[USMarineVet]

Browns traded their SS. Looks like they're in play for ET now.

 

[DFWJC]

WR Beckham
WR Landry
WR Callaway
TE Njoku
RB Chubb
RB Hunt


Cleveland and Mayfield has some serious weapons

That's a terrible deal. Giants are idiots.

No. They are a hell of lot smarter than we are.

We could not swing a single trade where we get anything close to this for all of this awesome talent we have accumulated.

What? It’s smart to trade away your best to player for a chance to get someone inferior to him? That makes them smarter than us?

I would trade every single player on this roster for the right price.

And how you can establish what they will get with the picks is interesting.

For all of Beckham's theatrical displays, he has rarely, if ever, got them a victory, much less sustained success.

Hell, even his signature play that everyone loses their minds over came in a LOSS to the Cowboys.

And yes, in answer to your question, "that makes them smarter than us"?

Usually, the answer is "yes".

Our ownership would never, ever, have the guts to trade a talent and take a risk.

First, they don't have the brainpower to execute the details and second they lack the ability to understand that the idea is to win and not to sell the brand.

This organization doesn’t have anyone like Odell to begin with. They don’t have a cancer in the locker room who’s the best player on their team so I’m not even sure why you are even trying to compare the Cowboys to Giants in this instance.
