oakdb36 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 They had discussions with teams before the deadline, not sure why it didn't go through even for a pick in 2023 which would have been better than nothing. Cleveland really handled that poorly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Finding teams to take on that money at this time is hard and the reason why they didnât trade him. The restructure was done in a way so OBJ doesnât get to pick his own landing spot.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleveland really handled that poorly. Right I was thinking the same thing. Because it's like at least before they could've chose where he goes so that they wouldn't have to play him again now there's a potential that they could be playing him in a game that will decide whether or not they make the playoffs.

Yeah, the Saints are one of the teams they had discussions with. I didn't see any reports about the others but they were probably all in the NFC.

Valid point but the Browns were not gonna get anything worthy in a trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the Ruggs incident literally happened at the absolute worst possible time because it really gave the team zero time to pivot and add someone else. Although I'd say the fact that we could potentially acquire Desean Jackson or OBJ days after could be a god send. Although at this rate I don't think we're getting either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even if he was its an NFC team I'd guess the Saints were a viable trade partner because that was his preferred destination since he's from Louisiana and went to LSU. And I wouldn't say that he'd have no chance of being successful with the Saints. Sean Payton is one of the best coaches in the league and despite their QB woes this year they're 5-2 averaging 25 ppg.
