What would we pay OBJ for a few games?

Everyone is saying sign him, but for seriously less than like 7 games or so, we're really going to shell out the bank this season for him? This year should be the vet minimum, then next season and beyond you do whatever you lure him in. Please give your thoughts......

you are on drugs if you think ANYONE would offer him the vet minimum. And if Jerry did do that and he then signed with the Chiefs or Bills you would bash Jerry for being cheap and not doing anything to make us better.

He ain't going to settle for a partial year deal. Some team will offer a multi-year deal.

apparently I read that Jerry was willing to do a multi year deal…which shocked me considering the contracts we are getting ready to have to shell out.

I feel the real question is if we sign OBJ to a multiyear deal then what are we doing with Lamb? Personally I'm not happy with trading a 1st for Cooper and then giving him away for a 5th only to sign OBJ for roughly the same contract and then losing Lamb.

So in summary I feel it's a bad idea to let go of 2 first rounders in Lamb and Cooper for a physically compromised OBJ. And before people say Cooper left due to personality conflicts, I understand that. I'm talking on a straight draft capital, money management issue and overall health of the 3 players.

OBJ isnt being brought in to be the number 1...hes being brought in to be a 2/2.5 type of player. Lamb is the number 1

I also heard that he wants contribution this year. So jerry may have given himself an out because at the very earliest I could see is the philly game and thats pushing it

No idea to be honest. The question I have is how does a deal effect the cap at this point? If he signed at a rate of $10MM for the season does that entire amount count towards the cap, or does the prorated amount of like $2.5 or whatever he would get count against the cap room?

Curious because of how it would effect the roll over amount for 2023, comp picks, etc. I could care less how much he actually takes Jerry for, I only care about how it effects the team moving forward.
