Trading Odell is a big sunken cost to the Giants, I don’t see ownership signing off for on that. Why did they pay him all this money to just trade him?
if it is sunk cost, it should not effect your decision. The cost is gone. The Giants will not be competitive so the dead spcace should not.effect them neither.Trading Odell is a big sunken cost to the Giants, I don’t see ownership signing off for on that.

35 million dead money hitTrading Odell is a big sunken cost to the Giants, I don’t see ownership signing off for on that. Why did they pay him all this money to just trade him?
Of course it does. They gave him guaranteed money for 5 years and would get 1 year out of him at a cost of 40 mill. If you have to charge the money any way you might as well get play for it.if it is sunk cost, it should not effect your decision. The cost is gone.

literally the definition of a sunk cost is a cost that you cannot recoupe. The contract was signed. they should trade him before that. but if they want to move on. The contract is irrevalent. These are rational decision making. not saying they have to be rational.Of course it does. They gave him guaranteed money for 5 years and would get 1 year out of him at a cost of 40 mill.

The cost is pretty irrelevant. BB could sell him for at least as much in a year or two..
Pats have a solid core roster and plenty of picks over next 2 years. The only thing they dont have is top outside WR. For 3 years now it is clear BB wants to get that fixed so even a high compensation wouldn't be a surprise.. If Cooks was not good enough (and they loved his character) there are not many significantly better options left..
Dont like Beckham but would like the deal.
I agree, but it’s a lot easier to say if you aren’t signing the checks.if it is sunk cost, it should not effect your decision. The cost is gone. The Giants will not be competitive so the dead spcace should not.effect them neither.
Well we still don’t have Larry Fitzgerald hah.Have you ever seen a player who gets talked about being traded this much and ends up staying with his team? I'm sure it's happened but it feels like when there's this much trade chatter the player almost always gets traded.
I have no idea as to the why. Contract regret?
Good point about BB trying to fix the WR1 position. But, he’s clearly not been prepared to do it at any cost as shown by his readiness to let Cooks leave.
