All your juicy Odell Beckham gossip

I'm sure it has been mentioned in this thread more than once but Tre tore his ACL last Thanksgiving.  OBJ tore his during the Super Bowl.  Are you going to sign the guy for the second half of the Super Bowl?  45 pages for this?  Seems kind of nutty.

 

Yeah there's a reason why he still hasn't signed anywhere and it really doesn't make sense at this point unless it's for a dirt cheap, low risk contract and sounds like OBJ is looking for the exact opposite of that.

Not really sure how Dallas is involved, given this sounds like a multi-year, legit money contract.

This just feels like the place he will end up. 

If Beane truly wants him, money talks. 
But I agree, he’ll end up in Dallas. 
And if that happens, so be it. As long as he doesn’t end up in Kansas City. That’s the one that scares me…

Chris Simms said on his podcast yesterday that he has heard several teams were shocked with what OBJ was asking for in terms of salary. Whichever team lands him will have to overpay him and probably give him more than just a one year deal. We might have to overpay even more than other teams if the report about him wanting to avoid cold weather is correct. Personally I would bite the bullet and just get it done. Beane has been ever so careful about preserving cap space and draft picks. The time is right to make a small sacrifice for the future to win now.

I think the tough piece for us could be the fact we have Tre locked up long term, and not to get into his situation in another thread, but we still have to see what he looks like when he comes back.  
 

We have Hyde under contract next year. What does he look like? 
 

Thats a lot of future uncertainty as we sit here today, thinking about offering a multi-year big dollar commitment to a guy coming off multiple major injuries.

Chris Godwin tore his ACL/MCL mid December and was back to practice in training camp. 
 

Everyone is different. 


OK. Now do Chase Young….
 

Based on the vibe of the Tre White thread, if you’re going to go the “everyone is different” route you should cite both.

What is there to cite exactly?  I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make here?

I'd love us to do it without him. The guy's a prick and the Bills roster is full of good guys. 

I don’t know. At times the current roster seems to get the yips (worried about making the play, mental toughness), I don’t see it as a bad thing bringing in a guy that doesn’t lack confidence and just wants the ball. We’re lacking WR depth, I hope they sign him.

If I was OBJ I would sign a 1yr deal with the Bills . Ball out. Win the SB and go right back into FA with more options and potentially more money. 

And everyone says he just needs a prove it deal to get back on track.  He did that with the Rams. He got all of 305 yards in 8 games on a Superbowl champion team.

 

27 receptions on 48 targets averaging 38 yards a game. All the while battling over the scraps of Kupp from the likes of super all stars Van Jefferson, Tyler Higbee, and Sony Micheal.

 

My point is simple: the dudes got talent but he's nothing more than a 3rd or 4th WR. And on our team that's perfect because Diggs, Davis and the development of Shakir is more important. Further, he doesn't have the speed of McKenzie, and he can't play Tight End. 

 

His prove it year was a bust for the Rams and the guy needs to come to earth with his future.

Please make this happen. I don't care what it takes.

I understand the Ravens but how in the world are the Chiefs in the conversation? Hopefully he signs with the Bills, but I think with Dallas getting in the mix that will be tough for him turn them down.

Buffalo is not the “shiny ball”, won’t pad his indoor stats, won’t over pay. 
 

Buffalo, obj can be the difference for SB. He would get targets valid #2, great team vibe, fans. 
 

it’s all going to come down to his desire for shiny spotlight and pay yr 2

Question is heads up right now… both teams healthy looking at their rosters….

 

Does OBJ think Dallas is better than Buffalo?

 

1 thing for sure, Buffalo needs to get healthy and start clicking again. Dallas is clicking now, but Dak is Dak and Dallas is Dallas. 

I don't think he is thinking about who is the best team or where he has the highest Super Bowl win percentage.


Word is he wants term and money and wants to finish his career wherever he goes.

 

For these reasons, I don't think he'll come to Buffalo, as much as I would love him here.
