IslandBillsFan Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 He is an awesome receiver but also a liability with his "issues." I am not well versed enough but how does this compare to other star receiver deals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffaloboyinATL Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I have to say, I respect the way he handled this. He didn't hold out, he didn't B word in the media (at least lately) and he trusted the team to get the deal done. Way more mature than I expected to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the Giants did a good job of telling him that he was only getting the brinks truck if he grown manned it. Glad to see him rise to the occasion. Will be interesting to see if he ends up being worth it. It's hard to imagine giving that much cash to someone who seems to have some serious emotional control issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Popinski Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 He's unstable during the best of times, i cannot imagine what that money is going to do to him. Diva overload. My guess is he breaks his hand in a fight with a DB this year where he punches a helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acantha Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I just think this is a really big mistake. Yes, he's talented as hell, but I can't see using over 10% of the salary cap on a receiver, much less one who has shown to be a spoiled brat already.

BuffaloRebound Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Good for him. Dude seems like a diva but can’t deny he’s the most electrifying player in the league.

SoCal Deek Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I've never been able to figure out why people are concerned with what OTHER people make in ANY business. If you don't want to feel you're contributing to OBJ's paycheck, don't go the games. Don't watch on TV. And don't pay your DirecTV bill. The NFL has a salary cap. Whatever they pay OBJ is just money that they can't pay another player. If anyone is upset it should be the other players in his Locker Room. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I’m sorry, but no way he’s worth that much. He’s maybe the 3rd best receiver in the game. This scares me as to where contracts are going. Julio will break 20 mil easily next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owners make so much money but are cheap when it comes to their Super Bowl spectacle where they have the halftime acts pay them for the “privilege” of performing.
