All your juicy Odell Beckham gossip

Yeah. Pretty awful. 

He needs to stop dropping catchable passes and to be more reliable when called upon. 

To be fair, though...in terms of catch percentage, DK Metcalf is ranked 91st. Brandon Aiyuk 87th. The great Justin Jefferson is ranked 75th. 

A receiver can be highly productive in the NFL and still have a below average catch %. But yeah, he needs to clean it up. 

 

 

I'm glad we can agree that 52% is awful..........but I wouldn't exactly say calling out those guys numbers is being fair.:lol:

 

The very top WR catch% guys are DeAndre Hopkins and Cooper Kupp at around 76%..............Metcalf all the way down at 91st overall still catches 67% of his targets.

 

Davis is a freakin' country mile away from the pack at 52%.

 

And it's not an outlier.

 

When he was facing teams 3rd and 4th CB's in his first 2 seasons he was a 55% catch guy.

 How so?

 


Jerry Jones was pretty hesitant given Odell isn’t working out.  Not sure if he was expecting him to or what..

 

Contrast that with McDermott, who was bonkers open about Odell given his usual buttoned up self.  Also doesn’t seem to have the same worries re: Odell’s health.

I really am shocked McDermott openly spoke about him. The standard answer is, “respectfully I won’t go into that”

 

He did a "respectfully, I won't go into that" (or equivalent) 2x in that clip: once when asked about if OBJ wanted a commitment for more than this year, and once when asked about what contributions he saw him making this season. 

 

And he didn't exactly say he had faith in OBJ's health, he said "once we get that far" he'd put his faith and trust in the medical team. 

A little bit different....

I still would be surprised if he signs here, but you must be listening to a different Sean McDermott than me if you think that wasn’t a quite openly conversational McDermott right there. 
 

Contrast that to hype obsessed Jerry Jones being surprisingly reserved in his comments today.

I personally think McDermott was doing something he does pretty well there: appearing very open, while actually committing himself to nothing.

 

Thad Brown FWIW takes the viewpoint that Jerry was "negotiating a contract in public" there.

I definitely there could be some of that for Jones. 
 

Would have to think they have an idea that OBJ is either dead set on Dallas or they are still prepared to offer more than Buffalo (or NY) to be taking it public.

I looked it up, and the Bills actually have a #2 and #3 WR who have contributed more yards and more receptions than the Cowboys #2 and #3 WR:  35/665 and 35/359 vs. 30/399 and 35/343. 

 

For Dallas, is that felt to be because they didn't have much of a passing game with Cooper Rush?  OR is it because Amari Cooper and Cedrick Wilson  > Noah Brown and Michael Gallup?

The way Jerry Jones publicly spoke of him today virtually rules out any chance of him signing there. Sean on the other hand, “stood up” for him


OBJ may just be a dude who wants money and fame.. I don’t know … 

 

But what I do know .. I’m not signing with a team led by an owner who traded the previous big name WR out for a bag of chips because he wouldn’t get vaxxed and then decided to take my negotiations public. 
 

Thats just me though..

Not sure how Odell expects to get a multi year deal when he won’t even work out with teams.  I think there’s definitely some truth to what was reported with Dallas.  Best case scenario seems like a one-year deal, but there seems to be doubt as to whether he’ll be ready by the playoffs

End thread. He ain’t playing this year 


I think this a definite possibility.  He was injured in February 2022 and probably had surgery shorty after.  That puts his recovery at about 10 months, which is on the shorter end of the recommended 9-12 months.  Out of all that hype, he might not even sign

It’s deal for the next year or two, but by coming back this year the cap hit and structure might be more flexible. It also puts winning teams in contention for his services without having to brush off the others egregiously before March.

Coach and Josh both seemed upbeat, at the possibility of signing him.  We shall see.

 

He's obviously not 100% yet. But in say 3-4 weeks, sounds like that would be the time he needs to get back into football shape/learn the playbook. Then he'd be building chemistry with Josh and the offense, around the Bengals / Pats game.  

 

Obvious thing, is if the money is right for us/him without prohibiting us to resign some key pieces.  If he can only contribute for the playoffs, that's exactly what we need...goal would be getting the chemistry down leading up to that (while continuing his rehab).  

 

He'd primarily be in the slot/another Diggs type that we can move around.  Even at 90%, he's an upgrade over what we have in the slot currently.

I guess but committing a two-year deal to a player that won’t even work out to show where he is at is a risk.  Like Jerry, I’m not too sure many GM’s would make that deal

Pretty sure when he actually signs somewhere the thread will come to an end.

Ugh I can’t wait. I bet the “favorite” in the odds of OBJ outcome……. Is…… he goes unsigned this year . I’d pound the table 

 

giants ? No way. They know they’re a qb away first 

 

dal? Jerry / and other reports out of dal basically say no way 

 

buf? Beane isn’t gonna do dumb *****

So what if Buffalo signs OBJ and he never contributes this season? and what if Von’s knee doesn’t allow him to continue this season?  That would be something.  Maybe those guys sheer presence in the locker room are enough to will the Bills to the SB. What are those chances!?

So wait, you want the thread to end so you keep coming back to it and feeding it?

 

This is like saying you want your firepit to burn out, while adding another log.
