If OBJ is released by the Browns and is unclaimed, do you want him in NE on the cheap? (Update: Signed by Rams)

[SHOWTIME15]

So people don't take it seriously will be my guess.

Well, too late for that...

So sad

3 prepositions in a row, Bert? Time to find yourself a new flunky...

I don't do the grammar police thing, but this is one of those cool aspects of the English language that I love talking about. Or, about which I love talking, if we are avoiding the preposition at the end of a sentence!

The "up" in "mixed up on with" is actually not a preposition. The up in "mixed up" is usually just part of a phrasal verb. As in, BB mixed up his draft chart when he drafted Jordan Richards in the 2nd round.

In Bert's tweet, "mixed up" is actually a rather clunky phrasal adjective. In fact, "mixed up on" is being used as one awkward adjective phrase. So technically, "with" is the only true preposition there. However, ending an adjective phrase with two traditional prepositions leading into an actual preposition is language malpractice for someone who makes a living writing.

But Twitter is like texting, I suppose.

Pretty obvious he wants to come here, but is waiting to see if we beat Cleveland.

No point in being a game week distraction and/or joining a team that may have just lost to his old team and is now .500 and has an uphill climb at a playoff spot.

Its what I am thinking as well. If we beat Cleveland, we are a playoff contender and its time to dance.

 

[SlowGettingUp]

And we just got $1.5m extra in cap space next year because of the Cam signing.

OBJ is giving up a game check by delaying, suggesting that where he plays is much more important to him than the dollars. Of course it is late in the week to really be part of Sunday's game anyhow.

Its going to be a distraction if he comes here no matter who they play.

And I was going to post that yesterday was the Marine Core / Marine Corps / Marine Corpse birthday... Happy 246th, Teufelhunde!

Uncle Sam's Misguided Children and Sesame Street share a birthday...I challenged the Marines I work with to sing the Marine Corps Hymn in Elmo's voice...and like any other challenge they easily took the hill.

1.5 mil is not going to sign him. lol

 

[catent]

1.5 mil is not going to sign him. lol

The context of the 1.5m is that it comes next season and is stacked on top of whatever else already exists. 1.5m alone won't sign Beckham, but it might move the margins enough for a contract already on the table to push things over the top.

So your thinking 1 yr deal with player option of the second year or he hits free agency again?

 

[PlainOldEd]

Schefter just broke off his weei interview early and said "I think we'll have some news here in the next 1/2 hour". No specific OBJ reference, but what else could it be?

 

[Hyped]

No, I say sign him for our remaining 8 games and agree to NOT franchise tag him at all.

He wants to hit free agency in March coming off a 2nd half surge....it's why he hasn't picked a team yet...he needs to weight:

- Quality of QB (Ranked in order of teams: Rodgers, Mahomes, Wilson, Mac, and then Seiman/Hill)
- Target/snap share in offenses (Ranked in order: Saints, Patriots, Packers, Chiefs, and Seahawks)
- Whether the team he chooses will be playing meaningful games in late Dec/early January (Ranked in order: Packers, Saints, Chiefs, Patriots, and Seahawks)

Personally, I would choose Green Bay...OBJ would easily take targets/snaps from Lazard. and be a true #2...for the Chiefs...he would be a #3 behind Hill/Kelce..for Seattle he would be #3 and probably the slot guy..with the Saints...he would be the ONLY receiver...with the Patriots..he would be moved all over the field, but not sure how many targets he will get given that we run the ball and want the TE's to make plays. Dunno which situation sets up OBJ for the big pay day he wants in March....knowing the results of week 10 goes a long way. He wouldn't even play this week anyway...without practice/new offense etc...more likely he makes a decision on Monday...and is in on Tuesday to sign a contract & start learning the playbook...

Schefter is trying his damndest to get fired from ESPN so he can rake in $$$ working for one of the sports betting enterprises. So maybe he's going to announce Goodell has a tiny wee-wee.

 

[Guts]

He's going to the Rams

OBJ to Rams

 

[Hawaiianpatsfan2]

Chiefs emerge as perceived Odell Beckham Jr. favorite

As one point on Wednesday afternoon, the general vibes pointed to the Saints as the team that would land receiver Odell Beckham Jr.

The best thing that could ever happen to us would be for us to win, and for the bills to somehow lose again

 

[SHOWTIME15]

The Rams get the two biggest prizes that were available...OBJ who will help them immensely on offense to go along with Jefferson and Kupp. On defense, they get Von Miller to already add to a formidable unit. As long as they get consistent QB play from Stafford, they are going to win the SB. Didn't think the Rams were even in the running and they swoop in at the last minute. It's a much better choice than GB for him.
