Agree, especially when you factor in that for CAP purposes he'll cost, what, possibly $5m in 2023 and then there's the big CAP Raise in 2024. Prices are rising and will continue to do so, in 2024 $20m doesnt get you in the top 15 paid WR's.
How many WR’s do you think start on an NFL team? Again, I don’t want OBJ, but it’s pretty easy to make an argument that he can still be a top 30ish WR.
actually Gallup only made 4 last year. they structured that knowing he could be limited year 1 back.11mil this year and 12 next but 2 years 23 mil that all he was guaranteed, there is your comp, 3 our of the last 4 years OBJ has been under 500yards and hasnt finished the season, so 20mil lmao you are brain washed..hes nOT old OBJ you do not pay payer 20mil that cant be depended on..so my 10-12mil base is valid give him a lot of chances to earn more with pay time and stats,
Yeah this is what the people that are responding negatively to me fail to get, I'm not saying that he's going to get 20 mil but what I'm saying is don't be surprised if he gets close to that. The market is getting crazy!!!!! Teams have figured out that the more weapons you give your franchise qb the more you get out of that investment. Jacobi Myers is asking for 20 mil, why shouldn't OBJ? This free agent class is full of number 2 borderline number 3 wrs. I want a number 2 that has been a number 1 before. Thielan, Dhop, OBJ and S. Diggs fit the mode I'm looking for, we have a 2 year window and don't have time to wait on developing a draft pick. We need someone that opposing defenses respect.
You mean to tell me that the Joneses traded Amari Cooper for a 5th round pick and to replaced him drafted a wr in the 3rd round from a small school (2 receptions and 1 boneheaded penalty @GB), signed James Washington (1 target 0 catches) and depended on Gallup while "knowing he could be limited year 1"? DO YOU SEE WHAT WE'RE WORKING AGAINST?
There's a perverse logic that those fans claiming he's not worth it......are probably in agreement with STEPHEN. The cost of WR's (and especially with the increasing CAP) is going to mean a marked rise in costs (even for a no.2).
Why is there a guaranteed acl injury waiting for him to run by? Can he get hurt, yes just as m7ch as every other player.
you don't pay a high risk oft injured player that much money ..sorry its fact. Lets see which team takes that 20MIL AND ITS ALL GUARANTEED, my bet that not what he gets he will get around13 with a way to earn more but not a lot guaranteed, 3 knee surgery's the last 4 years those 3 years under 500 yard productions. That not normal and that doesn't command 20milthat would be terrible for our team for jerry to pay that for OBJ
Yeah you remember the early Dak contract talks when he was asking for 30 million a year? People were up in arms but look at the market now. The NFL is printing money Tyreek Hill is making 30 million APY.
I think Slayton would be a good signing here.
May not be $20m per, but to get him we'll have to overpay, it's the nature of free agency. Cooks will come with an $18m Base Salary (and much valued draft capital picks), and DeHop $19m and may have to go to surrendering a 1st (depending on other offers).
Yep, like Odell’s the only WR, TE or RB to make a one handed catch. Hell, Beasley’s sideline catch against the back of his shoulder pads was far more impressive.
Robert Woods just signed with the Texans for 2 years $15.25 million. The last time either had 1,000 yards was 2019. Woods had 936 yards in 2020. OBJ had 319 in 2020 and hasn't passed that since. Guys coming off injuries usually have to sign prove it deals. Escpecially when they get into their 30s.
