The Future for Odell Beckham Jr. as a NY GIANT

[Parsley]

So...”rumors” are, coming off his injury last season he wants to get paid NOW and could hold out without a new contract (100+ million?).

Meanwhile Giants management is tired of the OBJ drama, off field antics, etc.

What should they do?

-Pay the man
-Let him hold out and lose $
-Trade him (perhaps a 1st rounder and competent receiver?...Cleveland, Buffalo, LA, etc.)

As a Giant fan, personally I’ve had enough of this guy. I’d look to trade him for no less than a 1st round pick + a “proven” (solid) player. Or a 1st round pick and a handful of lower round picks. This team is probably years away from being a true contender again anyway.

Pay him, he's a generational talent

Something tells me younger fans (like yourself) are more in line with that thinking vs. aging fans like myself

I’m interested to see what others here think as well. Fans or non-fans.

I don't understand how he's going to help that team win, so I don't understand why they need to pay him.

There's no one in the league who can do the things he can do, he's a threat every single time he gets the ball to take it to the house. Other receivers can make similar catches but no one currently in the league is as big of a threat on short/intermediate throws as he is

This. He’s the only game breaker the Giants have and is capable of putting the team on his back offensively.

I’d also like to see him play under Shurmur. McAdoo didn’t know how to handle him. Yea his attitude needs adjusting but I wouldn’t let a player like that go.

You don’t pay a WR that kind of money, trade him.

So you pay him 25 mil per year now?

I just don’t think football is his top priority. Fame and $ are.

What's it's matter if team is bad?

[lefty9]

i say trade him,julio jones and antonio brown are better receivers than beckman ,with out all the headaches

[Parsley]

Yup. This team is 3-4 years from being a threat again at a minimum. Eagles will own the division in the near term.

I’ll take Cleveland’s #4 and #33 picks. Thank you.

I’m 45, so like you, I grew up watching Lawrence Taylor. The same Lawrence Taylor that sniffed kilos of coke off of hookers’ tits his entire career and everyone knew it WITHOUT social media in the mix. This “distraction” shit is ridiculous. Who exactly is he distracting? The fans? When I see or hear at least 5-10 of his teammates complaining about him instead of Franky from Staten Island, then I’d consider trading him, until then, pay him.

Football is the easiest sport to turn it around from year to year. Teams go from the cellar to playoffs pretty frequently

I mostly agree with not paying skill positions like WRs and RBs but I think someone like Odell is a different case entirely due to how dynamic he is. With an aging Eli, and potentially a young QB coming in someone like Odell provides a ton of value. If they had a top tier QB it would be different

Just think to the Eagles game early last year. They were losing and came out in the second half and just decided to start lobbing it up to Odell and he made circus catch after circus catch, and they would have won the game if it wasn't for the Eagles kicking a record length field goal as time expired

The Giants won't be able to though. If you're paying $40m to OBJ and Eli, you're not going to be able to build anything else, and they have holes at just about every spot on the roster. Even with OBJ on the field, they won't be able to run the football, pass protect, or stop anybody.

If you're going to re-sign OBJ, then you trade Eli. If you think Eli can win still, then you trade OBJ. And let's not forget that the Giants offense was garbage the last time OBJ played. They went like 8 straight weeks failing to score 20 points from the end of 2016 and beginning of 2017.

Are you talking about the Eagles week 3 last year? Because it was Shepard who went off. OBJ had 2 TDs but his long was only 14. Shepard had 7 for 133.

The 2 TD catches Odell had were absolute circus catches in the end zone

Also what's the expectation of what he signs for? It shouldn't be much more then what Mike Evans just signed for

[Parsley]

I don’t care what Shurmur says this should be Eli’s last year. I guess they could resign OBJ, draft a rookie QB next month and roll with them together after this season. Maybe it comes down to $$$ and the Giants find a way to lower OBJ expectations for himself in terms of value.
