Per Schefter - Odell Beckam WILL be released by Cleveland

[zimmy]

It's worth a gamble given his talent and our need at the position but depends on the deal. It's hard to know what type of money we would have to pony up for the rest of the year.

Trent Brown just posted a pic of OBJ in Pats uniform. Cool he still roots for us. Always cool when Pats alumni still cheer on the team.

He's on this year's team (on IR at the moment).

Bill and Odell have a good relationship, they have been very complimentary of each other in the past. With that being said, here are a few questions to ponder:

1- Is Odell an upgrade over our number 3 or 4 receivers?
2- Can we fit him under the cap?
3- Will he take a discount to come here?


I'm just not sure I see it happening.

odell has more talent in one finger than our best WR has in his entire body

odells talent puts our crew to shame

He’s no boy scout but his talent and will to win is incredible. He’s also clutch.

you ain’t getting Mohammad Sanu here

signthe beast!

Even though Atlanta has next to no shot at the playoffs, they might be attractive to him. Ryan is a good QB. He could get his stats and try to cash in this offseason in free agency.

they are like one game from the seventh spot

I thought BB had a pretty odd response to a thinly veiled OBJ question today:



Might be reading too much into it, but i thought he gave it more consideration than he usually does with those types of questions.

They have to play the Cowboys, Bucs, Bills, Pats, Panthers (with both Darnold and McCaffery back), and Saints. They could easily lose 4-5 of those games if not all six.

Seemed like a shot at Brown for not being on the field. If so, it made me chuckle. Pretty funny.

Was just a joke that he's not really on the team lol, he doesn't even really tweet about football.

 

[PScottman]

Pats WRs can STFU and watch how it's done...

Because NFL football games always turn out just like fantasy where actual human contributions and team dynamics don't mean anything.

Get it done Bill!!! This team needs some juice! Enough of the Gilmore drama! LFG!

 

[Love The Drake]

Claim him and then figure out the cap later.

 

[Hyped]

Has Cleveland released him yet??? Officially?

And how long do we have to wait for him to go through the waiver process? 24 hours I assume?

I am thinking he passes through waivers...his salary is too much for anyone to take on, IMO.

Okay........

He's not coming here

I’ve heard that one before.

Doh!

Once he’s released (today by 4 PM, hopefully), the waiver process will take place until Monday afternoon.

Please let Detroit take him

We have too much money invested into pass catchers, just cant see Bill doing that. You could really F things up by brining him here. You do things like that when you have a vet strong QB in the room.
