RamPackFan Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 If we get him there's gonna be A LOT of pissed off fans up in this forum as they don't think we need another WR Looks like we're tying to create a legitimate "All-Madden team" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LARams91 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I was on the Suh train, but I would rather have OBJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris00cm Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Would be a fun addition to this loaded offense too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEASToftheEAST4 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Not that anyone doesn't know about OBJ's antics anyway, but me being someone who lives in NY, I see the crap he pulls week in and week out up close. He's the biggest diva in the league, a cry baby, attention seeking drama queen who thinks he's untouchable. He's a tremendous talent--no doubting that. But this guy is beyond a headache. Just watch the recent interview with John Mara. The guy already sounds fed up with dealing with him. He's a distraction on the field and off of it too. Combine all of that with the fact that there's no way we'd be able to afford him long term in addition to all of our own priority guys (assuming we get Suh, which I firmly believe we do at this point). Big pass from me for OBJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An executive from Los Angeles made a ubiquitous gesture at an Orlando hotel. And somehow that means that the franchise the executive works for definitely entered serious trade talks. I think I might be more willing to put my faith in the Nigerian prince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big pass from me for OBJ. Call me crazy, but I think his type of personality is one that would be more damaging to our locker room than any of Talib's, Peters', or even Suh's.

showtime Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I read about the Rams reported interested in Odell Beckham Jr. That would be a lot of young elite talent to pay over the next couple years, but I suppose if you guys could get him for a good deal then why not. Obviously players of his caliber will never get fair market value. I'm not really concerned with his personality. Outside of the Josh Norman stuff, I don't really think he's done anything really bad (he's not a drug offender, no domestic violence or other run-ins with the law that I'm aware of). The only downside to adding Beckham Jr. outside of paying him a massive amount of money is this might make Sean McVay want to throw the football even more haha instead of pounding Gurley like he should have been doing against the Eagles and in the playoff game vs the Falcons.

Until I see something from someone other than Pat Leonard on this (or someone who isn't citing Pat Leonard, as I'm sure a number of blogs will probably pick this up and run with it), I'm not putting any credibility in the report. Leonard has been trying to push a "OBJ could be/is the next to be traded" narrative since JPP was traded. His articles (I just went through and read about 5 recent ones) notoriously reference people saying something but they're always "a former NFL executive" (no name listed) and with no actual quote (just his summation of what they said) and jump to massive conclusions off of very little evidence. It's tabloid sports journalism akin to a lot of the English newspapers reporting on European football or PFT before they actually became attached to a serious journalism arm (NBC Sports).

I saw the headline pop up on my phone from the app The Score. After reading your post, I went back and looked at it again and it was the report from Pat Leonard.

There's too many unknowns as well. I don't wanna give up draft picks and then have him walk in a year or so. Not worth gutting this young team financially for a elite talent that's a locker room cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
