Browns made it much more manageable to claim him for this years salary and I’m pretty sure Browns were gonna be able to cut Odell next year with no dead cap, so I would think another team would be able to as well if they claimed him and worst came to worst.

Do the Lions really have much to gain though? I don’t think they’re trying to build anything with Goff for this year or the future. I feel like they’d probably be best served to stay the course and let him pass. I think the Dolphins are a good shot if Flores and Grier are going to try to save their jobs, but maybe they’re afraid he as a distraction could further damage the locker room.

Doesn't he have another year on his contract? Hope he plays well in the final 10 games and flip him in the offseason for a low round pick?

If nobody was willing to trade for him just this past week, I can’t imagine that 10 games with Goff is going to rehabilitate him to the point someone will give anything of value for him.

He has a couple more years on his contract, but none of that money is guaranteed, so whoever picks him up can basically walk away free and clear at about any point.

Trading for him a few days ago meant taking on that enormous contract. Not hard to see why there were no takers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not, but no team really has all that much to lose cause I’m pretty sure the cap hit this year will be small and next year they can cut him without dead cap. Lions also are gonna need receivers for whoever is the QB next year. Now would Odell want to play there? Probably not. Would he cause issues there and be a headache? Possible. It’s not completely downside free. The teams and QBs he probably wants to play with are way down the waiver order for the most part. I agree there are better landing spots than Detroit though.

But no one knows how much **** they were willing to eat then or what they wanted in return to eat that **** with a smile. That's not going to be a problem this offseason.

The question was why not trade him knowing you'd release him otherwise. Maybe the restructure was to change the cap hit? And it fell through?

They had $3mil in space and his release will cost $5mil more. So they're currently at -$2mil in space I believe. The 5M are dead money for 2022. Post june 1st.

This situation is confusing to me They don't want him on a playoff contender. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
