What did he stoop for in LA last year?

 

 

 

He got $1.75M counting his $0.5M  signing bonus, but it's not clear to me if that was normalized to a year, or if he got that for the 8 games he was with the Rams.

I would like to see the Bills sign him, if for no other reason than to see Jerry Jones cry some more in public. 

 

Much as I would enjoy the sweet, sweet sight of Jerry Jones tears, I can't see driving a multi-year cap decision with the desire for them.

Yeah, but not at a fair comparison, % of drops would be they to look at it. Diggs has a multiple more passes thrown his way than probably almost any other reciever I'm the league.

 

Depends upon the point trying to be made.  If we're asking "how likely is it that the guy will drop a catchable ball?", % is the correct way.

 

If you're responding to someone who's claiming we couldn't find 14 drops or bad plays to make a "lowlight reel" for Diggs, pointing out that they have the same number of scored drops is relevant.  Drop stats are usually pretty conservative and differ between the outfits putting them out, so it's a pretty good guess that if there are 7 scored drops, there are as many again "catchable" balls that weren't scored as drops, especially out of a much higher number of targets.

 

Again, not at all trying to rag on Diggs who is legit one of the top receivers in the league, but to point out that every receiver has bad plays, and a player's "bad play clips" aren't a fair picture at all.

So why would he expect anyone pay him pro-rated 20 million for the rest of the year when everyone knows he took far less last year?

 

My guess is that he knows he isn't ready to play and he is making this completely nuts salary ask so he can say that no team offered what he's worth, so he will sit out the season....hoping to be ready and in shape with another off season of rehab. 

 

It really doesn't make sense for him to credibly put out there the 20 million figure when, healthy, he worked for peanuts half a season with the Rams.

Whether he comes here or not, I'm kind of tired of the saga to be honest.  Pick a damn team to play with and get on the practice field.  It's getting extremely annoying.


Reading new comments here is also getting old. I’m just waiting for someone to share a twitter story that he signed. Kind of tired of it too

Apparently Jerry Jones made a comment a few minutes ago that he's not confident at all about signing OBJ without a workout.

I mean, he waited until healthy and is going through a 3-4 day process once it actually started? 

 

just have to hang on the headlines a bit less if they upset you

which is fair. 
 

medical work up and a light workout is a reasonable minimum standard even if he’s not clear for everything yet

Yea, it's pretty bizarre..  Did he think he was just going to have dinner with Josh and Von, then go to a Mavs game with Diggs and Parsons, tour facilities and the offers would come pouring in?  ..because it sounds like he did.
