I'm sure he'll have some clever comebacks to dig a little deeper hole, or increase the hero worship, depending on your ideas of freedom.
We will see what his priorities are when it comes to $$$.
Would like to have him here in GB, but yes, the money.
The Browns are on the hook for IIRC nearly 5 million regardless of what team OBJ signs with. So like Jaylan, he’ll still be paid regardless. He might as well sign with a contender and be paid too.
Now the Packers locker room wanting him is another story. Wouldn’t shock me if they’d welcome him, but how he’d actually fit in is what I’d question. A lot of unselfish dudes in there like Lazard who are content blocking their asses off so other guys get their yards etc.
I thought it was a done deal he was going to Tampa. Huh.

This. And I'm wondering if he has much left in the tank. It's not like he's been setting the world on fire that past few years.
@packerboi posted:Teams like Seattle can’t claim him without inheriting ALL his salary. There’s just no way 99 percent of teams would be willing to do that. It’s why is was largely assumed he’d clear waivers.
Thank you.
I did hear though that Seattle is one of a handful of teams who can take the cap hit by claiming him. Carrol was obviously coy when he was asked if they will do it.
if you need a ride @obj from the @packers airport, let me know, i just filled up cuz!

FYI..
If Odell Beckham Jr clears waivers (likely) he would be a free agent able to sign with any team.
— Ken Ingalls - Packers Cap 💰 (@KenIngalls) November 9, 2021
If he signs for the veteran minimum, it would cost $537,500 on his new team's salary cap.
The Packers have a little over $4M of space remaining for the entire year.
My first thought is no thanks, as this team seems to have great chemistry and he carries the reputation of a cancer. But...I also remember Andre Rison and the impact he had in '96.
Andre "Bad Moon" Rison all over again. I'll take him for half a season but this isn't a dude I want in the locker room next year.
1 game and the FA's are already lining up to play with Jordan.

WR Odell Beckham Jr has cleared waivers, per me and . He’s a free agent for the first time in his career.

Yeah, they had like $11 million free. But no one was gonna pay this guy $1 million per game for the rest of 2021.
Interesting symmetry
@AdamSchefter: Bills placed WR Jake Kumerow on the Reserve/Covid-19 list.
Adding OBJ would certainly take some media hype away from 12.
Some Packers are giving not so subtle hints to the front office RE: OBJ
Do I need to tweet it again @packers 👀

If we hope to get back to the business at hand, which to me is vying for a ring, we need to put the Rodgers thing in the rear view, get him healthy and cleared, and set about getting win #8. The last thing this team really needs is more circus at this point. I'm not even sure what Beckham would bring to this team or this wr corps, but I'm old enough to remember the coup of signing John Jefferson to go with a hof guy in Lofton. That panned out about as well as I believe this one would. I'll pass on Beckham.
The only reason I ever want to hear of him inside the home locker room at Lambeau is because he's on the roster of the AFC Championship team playing against Packers in a Super Bowl at Lambeau and the Packers are forced to use the away locker room.

Same.
Not sure what he brings to this whole menagerie at this point. Everything is relatively in place.
Perhaps he would be a good mentor and role model for Rodgers?
I’ll take OBJ in a heartbeat. GB has a solid locker room to deal with any side effects.
Sign him. If he fucks up, can him. Little money spent.

Going by the old adage "If you listen to the fans you'll be sitting with them", apparently Mayock was just doing prep work drafting for Gruden with the Raiders.

Saints: We have officially signed Odell Beckham
Packers: We are making another move at long snapper.
How would GB use OBJ?….
In Green Bay, Beckham could run his share of in-breaking and go routes within Matt LaFleur’s scheme and mostly against single coverage, given how often teams shade help to Adams. He’d no longer be tasked with being the offense’s No. 1 option in the passing game, and there’d be no complaining about the level of quarterback play. A tight, player-led locker room developed in Green Bay under LaFleur could be exactly what he needs at this career crossroads.
The fit makes sense for the Packers as well. Plugging in Beckham as the No. 2 receiver could turn Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb into hyper-specialized complementary players in the passing game while making defensive coordinators second guess all the double teams planned for Adams every week. With Robert Tonyan out for the season, adding another weapon in the passing game, even at receiver, could help. If the Packers really wanted to expand his role, an opportunity to fix the problem at punt returner could make sense.

Let’s see play with a 3 time MVP QB next to an All Pro WR or play with Trever Simeon/Tysom Hill the rest of the year?
Personally, I don't think the OBJ Juice is worth the squeeze. I think he's a fucking malcontent and would be a locker room cancer. When our WR corps is healthy, tallant is not a problem. If he could play CB, TE or DT, I'd be all for it.
I still think he signs with Seattle. Everything I’ve seen has said they want him and that’s his preferred destination. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

You're making a good argument for it. He is such a douche, though. Combined with 12, it might give us the douchiest team in the NFL, especially now that the Raiders have cut Ruggs and Arnette. What a "killer" draft that was!
