Why not? He has already been paid in full for the year. He only needs to sign to play. The Browns would be eating the cost.
Guys only take vet minimum if that's all that is offered. I could see Odell holding back a few game to see if someone jumps on higher demands. But I expect there to be enough interest that Odell gets more than that right away.
I could see the Raiders ponying up immediately about 5 million dollars.
Yeah, because $15.75 million for the year isn't enough. The question then becomes is he in it for the money, or does he want a ring?

If he just wanted a ring, Cleveland is not the worst place to achieve that.

I would guess he is in it for being a celebrity/marketing opportunities first, then for wanting the ball, then money (which he has secured with cleveland), and then winning.

Sign him if possible.

We have seen this story before and I'm not talking about OBJ. When the playoffs start defenses get away with more. You are able to grab and bully receivers more. We saw it in the NFCC when Lazard basically was useless. He couldnt get open. Adams got bracketed up and down the field. MVS made the most of his opportunities. You need guys who can get open and OBJ when healthy can do that. The Browns played a run first offense and really didnt use OBJ. Baker never got in rhythm with him. I really believe Baker isnt that good. He would have to take a massive paycut to cut here on a year deal.

All that said I think the Raiders go after him. They just lost Ruggs and theyre still in the hunt.

There are certain players who would take a pay cut to play in Green Bay, WI. OBJ does not strike me as that player.

I do get a little giddy over the thought of Adams and Beckham 1-2 punch though.

I just think Brown is a lot better and a lot available when it matters than OBJ at this point.

I don't see any downside if he goes through waivers and is a free agent.

After his Dad posted the video of him not being thrown to, and "king" James throwing in his "FREE OBJ!!" two cents, ABSOLUTELY NOT. Great way to destroy team chemistry in a quick hurry. He strikes me as a terribly selfish individual.
Same thing with Desean Jackson. We don't need a bunch of Crips hanging around the locker room, practice field, or anywhere in the state, for that matter.
I wonder if OBS and Xibron realize that they did more harm than good to the remainder of OBJ's career...

I think that's "A Cancer in the locker room.". But go ahead and dig.

Anonymous sources are pussy boys. They say the same &%$@ about Rodgers. Just a bunch of salty dudes.

He's supposed to be released today after re-working his contract. Depending on how that looks, I imagine someone claims him. I doubt we'll get a shot at him on the open market, if we even wanted to.

So pretty much everyone is on the same page.

1. Either a, "No" or "sure if we can get him for vet minimum and no risk deal" - which is basically a no right?...at that point it just means OBJ has no options and we give him a try out and he accepts.

Can I just document this now?

Because I know full well there will be a strong chance of b*tching come January, "Guty never goes after guys. We would have won the SB if we brought a guy like OBJ in. Look what Brown is doing with the Bucs"

Close, but we should let BF and the one or two others who are on board with him be mentioned in that documentation so they have an exception

I will officially chime in that if he's cheap, he's worth signing. But not a claim situation, unless the Browns magically make the final years of his deal disappear today.

Put me down with BF004 and Lupe. If he’s eyeballing GB, you go get him. This locker room is strong enough to overcome any attitude - real or not, and I tend to lean not - and, like Jaylon Smith, it’d basically incur very little risk with great potential reward. You all were full bore Smith. A little surprised there is so much push back on OBJ.
