Breaking News: Odell Beckham is set to be released

[Fan in Chicago]

We don't need characters like OBJ on this team. Period.

The rams probably get him, there all in!!! And that defense is going to be special there doing everything they can to win a super bowl and I wish my bills would. P.s that was a joke about them going after OBJ 

He is going to Detroit or Jacksonville…

I tried to create a poll but apparently @Chandler#81 wasn't feeling it.   

 

I voted the Saints. Most likely not a fit culturally, and he will probably be looking for a Super Bowl contender, but I thought the LSU tie might be strong enough to make this work.  

Poll is actually working despite the lock...

I guess we can vote there and give our reasoning here.

I hope so. I'd hate to see him end up in NE or KC.

Lions are the number 1 pick, so this could happen.  I laughed because Odell's head will explode if the Lions or Jags take him off of waivers.

If they acquire him by waiver claim, they also acquire his massive contract. Don't think anyone is going to claim him on those terms.

He'll become a free agent.

I guess you forgot the AFC championship game where ALL of our WR’s were dinged up 

 

I think that game was far more about what Tony Romo called the Chiefs "sticky" defense. With all their holding, grabbing and even with their offensive line.

 

The Refs wouldn't let them get away with all that stuff in the SB against the Bucs. We all saw that result.

 

The reality might just be that now that the Chiefs need to play by the same rules as all other teams they just might not be that good.

I actually think Buffalo 🦬 is the perfect place for him. I’m not saying Buffalo 🦬 wants him. He comes off as a really big duchy Diva right now. He has a bad shoulder. He just threw his QB under the bus 🚌. He is not a good route runner. 
If I’m his agent we need to go to a place to kick the Diva stigma, catch some balls and play in January in big games. I’d be calling Beane saying we’d come for the minimum. Beasley is already banged up and Manny is 34. He can help down the stretch.

Chiefs are going to get him,  they need a boost right now to flip their season

They have $3M in cap space and have restructured everyone including the water boys salary.  They are going to have trouble fitting him in under the cap…but it’s possible I guess.

Going to the Chiefs.  BOOK IT,  he fits perfect into the type of players Andy Reid likes.  Not afraid to sign guys that are not perfect people but have great talent. That is why he has a Super Bowl and has been there many times.  Everyone counting the Chiefs out,  they get Beckham and that oftence will get back on track

 

NIAGARA DUDE said it first,  BECKHAM signs with Chiefs or my second choice would be Ram which I would prefer he go West

Doesn’t matter, their QB blows.

If he goes to the Jags he'll at least get an upgrade at QB 😏

Beasely was the star (huge 3rd down conversions on 3 second half scoring drives) of the Miami game and Sanders has the second most receiving yards and an insane 17.2 YPC and is unlikely to die of old age "down the stretch"....

 

OBJ is used up.

Chris Simms thinks the Bills should get him, and I don't disagree. The offense needs something else. The receivers aren't as great as everyone seems to think.

You’re right...we only score 32 points a game...😉

A player with 4 or less years is placed on the Waiver Wire and the Waiver order has to be followed. Players with more than 4 years are released and able to sign with anyone. 

 

This is correct before the trade deadline.  After the trade deadline, all players who are released are subject to waivers.

 

I didn't know this, read it in the other Beckham thread and looked it up - it's true.

The Browns are said to be restructuring his contract, so who knows what it will be when he's released?

It’s also been floated by some that OBJ could make it clear around the league through his agent/representatives that he does not intend to report if claimed off waivers, basically forcing himself into free agency. He’d likely make far less doing that, even after the restructuring the Browns are doing to his contract last minute. But he will gain some freedom in choosing where to go, which he probably values more at this point.

Considering Brandon Beane's emphasis on character, our cap space, and our depth chart at WR - I don't get how we're so high on this list....

 

Do people forget he was looking at AB at one time?

He's dropping passes non stop too.  In 6 games this year I'm pretty sure hes dropped 3 4th down passes that hit him square in the chest.

OBJ hasn't been relevant since 2016. Just get Gabe more touches.

I think the "something else" the team needs is 1) better OL play 2) an upgrade at RB 3) Josh Allen to set his mind on "take what the defense gives you" at the start of the game.
