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

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

What a loser.

Jersey number reportedly was an issue in OBJ to Rams

Of all the various factors that Odell Beckham Jr. had to consider this week in picking his next team, an apparently important one became a sticking point between OBJ and the L.A.

Reading this makes me happy we didn’t get him. Just feel like he would have destroyed the locker room at some point.

What a freaking tool. I normally avoid the “sour grapes” stuff, but this makes me think the small value he adds on the field may not even be worth it. Sounds like he had no priorities besides his jersey number and randomness.

Of course OBJ + Agent choose LAR....that organization overpays everyone.

I knew he was a prima donna/diva but my word.....

All set with this jamoke for 2022 as well.

OBJ says he almost signed with the Pats.

Mac could've used him too, despite the nearly 1000 posts to the contrary.

OBJ is very happy in LA it would seem. Little chance he goes elsewhere in the offseason. The culture with McVay is much more lax and fun than the all-business approach in NE. And LOL at Tampon Bay for not getting him and then watching Antonio Brown implode....

 

[denverpatsfan]

Didn't think he had anything left? All these football experts here on the board said he was done. Fecking wrong! He's killing it in LA. Probable MVP of the SB.

Well, he showed up at Logan, pen in hand. No sign of Patriots royalty, so he got a rental and drove to 1 PP. Lights were out, nobody answered the knock at the door, so he went back to Logan and flew to L.A.

Thats not what he said though.

If it was 3 years ago... i dont think he gave New England any consideration.

I would have brought him in, no questions asked. Its a no brainer move to do so. The production he could have delivered far outweigh any potential side show antics.

Would've transformed this offense. All of a sudden other guys would get open more and it would've been easier for Mac.

That's what a good receiver does. People think it's a coincidence that Josh Allen and Joe Burrow's breakouts happened when they got Diggs and Jamar chase? Adding those guys made it easier for their QBs not just in how talented they are but how they open the field up for other players.

It's an offensive league now. I hope we can find a guy because it's going to be hard to win in the NFL when your best receivers are #2 and #3 guys who need to be schemed to get open

 

[‘Mondre]

I’d feel he can’t win the big one - which is what I already believe. It’ll be even tougher now, because O is a whacko.

This aged well.

Read it, didn’t see anything wrong.

Odell is nowhere near Diggs and Chase now.

He is not the old Odell anymore. He is a #2 or #3 right now. The guy had 537 yds in 14 games. He was not going to transform our offense.

The NE deal went south when BB told OBJ that Justin Bieber and his saggy pants posse couldnt be on the NE sideline.

Heehee. Indeed OBJ has been very impressive the last few weeks. While I think it's a matter of time before he becomes a headache, there is no question that I was wrong about the pickup for the Rams. Seems like a coup on their part for 2021-22.

 

[venecol]

Sounds like he would've signed if Tom Brady was the QB. Without Tom, not so much.

Probably not, but he wouldn't have hurt it either.
