Odell Beckham saga over! He signs with…..

[Alphadawg7]

I mean he clearly prioritized money even though its a 1 year prove it deal to try and get a multi-year deal next year.  

 

He won a SB already though in which he was a key player for that SB run and in the SB up until he got hurt.  So he has his ring...don't blame him for taking the money over say taking much less to play for a contender.  Plus he gets a big role there too.  

 

When you think about his knee issues, this might be his last big paycheck too, so getting as much as he can makes sense in case his knees don't cooperate with him.

As many of us say, it only takes one team to make a bad deal or a bad trade and mess with the market.  $15M for a guy coming off an ACL is insane to a team that may have a rookie QB

So it’s $15 mil. With $3 mil. In incentives so he has to make whatever gates they put in front of him.

 

That will be hard if Lamar isn’t there.

At 15m per salary I don't think he cares

[babulator]

I've been enjoying all the Ravens drama personally. Allowing Lamar to hold the franchise hostage with his ridiculous contract demands and now grossly overpaying for OBJ is pretty comical. Lamar has left soo much money on the table by not getting a new deal after 3 years, and now he's screwing up the teams ability to reload for the future by holding them hostage in this negotiation. Now they make this desperate overreach for OBJ. The only thing I would find funnier than all of this is if they were to reach and overpay for Zeke.

Last stop for him

[billsbackto81]

Who's his agent? That guys phone has to be ringing off the hook! If he can get an aging WR diva coming off 2 ACL's that type of payday imagine what he can do with a healthy UFA talent. 

 

ED OLIVER on line #1.....

 

 

[RiotAct]

Huh.  Well okay then.

[Yantha]

Happy he's there.

[transplantbillsfan]

Too much money

[947]

Enjoy your 63 catches for 947 yards 4 TDs, Odell.

unless this helps them keep Lamar, they are not a contender

They were a fluke play away from beating the Bengals in the playoffs ( a team that kicked our butt the next week). If Lamar plays on the tag, and OBJ plays back to old form, they will be better than the team that almost beat the bengals. 

[papazoid]

so happy he's not a bill

 

i dont blame him....but what was balt thinking

 

RUMOR .... he's already unhappy with his pay....lol

I wonder if he has a clause allowing him to cancel contract if Lemar cannot be signed to play.

I wonder if the Baltimore Ravens pay Lamar Jackson for one year go for it than say goodbye to both of them after a year of this experiment in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo

That was under Roman. 

 

EXCUSES EXCUSES EXCUSES!!!  He won a MVP with Roman as OC.

I'm pretty sure that was above the 1.77 million threshold Beane was willing to pay.

[BillsFanForever19]

I guess I don't know how contracts work. How can you give someone a base salary of 1m+ and incentives of 3m and then give them a 13m+ signing bonus? I thought bonus' had to be a percentage of a contract? How can you give someone a bonus that's like 4 times the amount of the actual contract?

1 year up to 18 million haha

"up to" is where its important. depends on where the base is for me to feel comfortable with it. if the "up to" includes him winning a SB, starting every postseason game, averaging 75/game or something like that..... than id prefer we pay 18m. guess well have to wait and see, my guess is he gets nowhere near that, and Balt caved because they need to sell tix this year somehow

Surprisingly the base is $15 and $3M in incentives. They really PAID him.

Everytime I hear OBJ my mind always drifts to getting him confused with Old Dirty Bastard
