With pretty high guarantees. Sounds like the demand isn’t there so he’s either going to get less than he was aiming for or nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleTheWagons99 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Dallas did not offer Odell a contract because they are not sure he will be available to play in 2022...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanoros Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 1 hour ago, mrags said: I think it’ll be the opposite for him. I think he believes he needs a multi year deal and also deserves one. Because that’s how narcissistic idiots think. I imagine he is looking out for himself as he should. It is a business after all. Last year he tore his ACL in the Super Bowl screwing his chance for a new contract this season. If he comes back this season, he is coming back early and has a higher chance of Re aggregating the injury. However, if he waits until the offseason, he will DEFINITELY get a multi year deal. It seems to me, if a team is wanting to get him for a bit of a discount, while also increasing their odds for a Super Bowl win this season, then they have to show good faith and give him more than 1 year, otherwise I don’t see it as worth it for in (in the off chance he doesn’t get a new injury, and plays at a similar level as last years post season, then he would really cash in. But that route is full of risk and little guarantees). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Since1981 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) Almost any condition can be adjusted for in a contract (study hrs., knee). There was no reason to blast the dude in public like Jerry did unless it is for negotiation (OBJ wants Dallas bigtime) or pure Dallas ego (Jerry saving face). Odell made it clear to these teams he wasn't "working out on visit". They all know what that means and they all have deep experience with injuries and contracts.

KDIGGZ Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I can do a pistol squat on my right leg but not my left leg. My right leg is my bad leg too with at minimum a torn meniscus.

Fleezoid Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Never heard of a "pistol squat", but I'm guessing it's when I get home from a long drive and have to take a dump real bad! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 John Brown and Crowder will have to do. Crowder will be huge for the stretch run. He’s a good WR when healthy. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 5 weeks is okay , but I’m not sure they’ll be interested. It would be much more attractive if he could be ready in 3. We’d have a couple weeks to work him in . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically I think you are looking at a 2 year deal where he can be available in the playoffs to at the very least draw some coverage off of Diggs in some formations but also add to the WR group more extensively in 2023.

Jones isn't wrong given OBJ's first ACL tear on that knee took 11 months to heal. But I doubt OBJ wants that out there and will likely cross them off his list. As for his contract demands, it's veteran minimum this year and that's it. Anything more and "no thanks." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why we're not out then too. What's there to discuss then? Or they thought he'd be available sooner than the Playoffs and they aren't interested in that. Or they wanted to see him work out and were turned off by him not wanting to do that. Or they played a dumb game and leaked out info in hopes of him dropping his price and it blew up in their face. Or they saw the writing on the wall that it wasn't going to get done and they wanted to placate their fans that were expecting it while trying to make the Bills or Giants look dumb for signing him. This is Dallas and Jerry Jones we're talking about. I'd never say "well if Dallas is out, so am I". Ultimately, if we are still in this - then I'd say you shouldn't take what Dallas is saying at face value. I'd trust our doctors over whatever Dallas is unscrupulously leaking to the media. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabstblueribbon Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 OBJ is trying to get his best deal. If Poyer was right and he's back in Buffalo, it's to say "here's what Dallas offered, can you beat it?" He'll probably go back to Giantland, if he's even remotely interested in playing there and have the same talk. Jerry making chess moves to sow doubt to impact other teams offers and lower the amount he will likely end up paying. That's how I see it anyway.

Reading the tea leaves, it sounds like they know he’s not going there, but can’t elaborate out of respect for OBJ, and are completely sick of talking about it.
