So if a team pays him $1M, the Browns can subtract $1M from whatever they owe him. We should sign him for negative 30 million then. And we can pay that to Davante for taking a very team friendly deal next season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I get it now. Most veteran players aren't going to agree to it. It's usually something you're offering up to get something else you want instead. OBJ wanted out of Cleveland badly, and was willing to leave money on the table to do so. But this is assuming that tweet is indeed accurate.

deltarich87 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I'm just gonna assume he's going to KC in the end so all of this is moot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Orleans is paying their players with hot dogs left over after games. Not if Ezra Johnson was still playing. If you get this joke, you are old.

Mazrimiv Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Ezra Johnson was my first "he has a cool name so he's my favorite player" on the Packers. He was actually pretty good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

incognito_man Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) I don't understand the posturing (if it's real) whatsoever if we assume: *He only wants a 1 year deal *He genuinely has a preferred team *There exists offset language If those were all true, he would have signed somewhere already.

Being OBJ....he might not like the optics of signing for the vet minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
