OT: Odell Beckham gets 5 years, $95 million contract, $65 million guaranteed

[FreeTedWilliams]

"Odell, there is some girl looking for you, says she is a Kardashian"

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

Its crazy money.

You could argue Julio Jones and D. Thomas with DEN when horsehead was there but that doesn't refute your point. Paying crazy dollars to skill position players isn't the smartest thing to do.

I think julio’s worth every penny. He’s getting there in age but i wonder how he feels about this contract.

 

[Deus Irae]

These salaries are absolutely out of control. Khalil Mack and Aaron Donald are going to get $20 million per year. Teams need to take a stand.

Cap goes up = Salaries go up


Basic economics

 

[Ring 6]

Stupid. Not only is his impact on the game not worth that much... the dude is locker room cancer.

How did that whole boat party thing work out for the Giants? This guy doesn't have what it takes to win in the NFL at the highest levels.

How did he do in his one wild card playoff game vs the legendary GB defense?

11 targets 4 catches for 28 yards. Eli throw for 299 yards that day BTW.

One of those targets included a dropped 28 yard TD pass

Sadly a lot of these contracts are becoming about public relations rather than winning.

I'm sure hes jealous as hell but he did have his big payday and just got some cash moved to 2018 from 2019.

Jones has averaged less than 6 TDs a year for the last 4 years with a high of 8.
In 4 years Julio has 23 TDs the same amount Randy Moss has in 2007. You need a guy who can get in the end zone at that price.

He has had 4 post season TDs in 4 years (5 games)

 

[BaconGrundleCandy]

The past few years Gettleman has drafted 2 RB'S in the first Rd. Reset the market w Solder & Beckham.

You have to be targeted to put up 6 though

????

Gettleman hasn't even been there a year.

 

[varjao]

I guess their GM didn't want to deal with Stephen A Smith's unleashing on him for not giving Oddell his money.

 

[Zuma]

I'm all for players getting a large portion of the NFL pie...maximizing income in a career that is almost always cut short by injury. That being said...that's a ridiculous amount of cheddar...especially for a non-QB...and the guy is a little fruity.

 

[Ring 6]

If you are the best WR in the NFL, or close to it, you get targeted.
You can’t tell me Julio gets open in the end zone and Ryan chooses to ignore him.

 

[Ring 6]

The past few years Gettleman has drafted 2 RB'S in the first Rd. Reset the market w Solder & Beckham.

And chose to stick with Eli when he had an easy out.
He is destroying the Giants.

(Isn’t this his first year though, so he didn’t pick the other round 1 RB)

I know I didn't say w the Giants. He drafted Caff w Car.

Was speaking on Gettleman "the gm".

A lot def falls on him but 1 target almost 2 months into the season is crazy.

 

[turkeyneck]

Best contract since the return of Revis to the Jete.

 

[The Brandon Five]

Best contract since the return of Revis to the Jete.

Now all we need is the Steelers to give Todd Gurley money to Leveon Bell.

 

[PatsFan2]

Look at Odell's TD totals compared to Julio Jones and Odell is a smaller guy in statue and played in a lot less games. That's the going rate for a proven Elite Young WR. If we could Draft them we can talk...if we had Odell we would be kissing his @ss right now. Football fans are hypocrites.

 

[TinhWoodhead]

that is a giant contract...

 

[BradytoMosstoGronk]

Now he can afford to make a woman out of that net.
