He's a 31 year old CB with a $8.5M cap hit with $6.5M in cap savings if they cut him and he's declined to the point that they were considering moving him to safety this off-season. This isn't surprising. 

But yeah, like the previous poster mentioned, DG vs. OBJ is gonna be some FUN poo to watch. Especially after that contract the Bucs just handed Mike Evans.

Gettleman’s got a TON of leverage after Odell’s coke video dropped.

No he doesn't. OBJ has never failed a drug test and isn't in the substance abuse program. If he hit the open market there would be no shortage of bidders. If anything, that Evans contract just ensured no extension will be reached this off-season and we'll get to see another Gettleman franchise tag showdown next off-season.

We’ll see.

If the league office decides to do something about it, it’ll be interesting to see how it goes.

FWIW, the Giants FO has already been made aware of that video. We’ll see where it goes from here.

What can they do about it? He's never failed a test. The video doesn't show him obviously partaking in any illegal substance. He can easily claim that blunt it a cigar. Nothing will come of this as long as OBJ continues to pass his tests in the NFL's farce of a testing program. NFL substance tests are more IQ tests than substance tests. Players know the periods when they can be tested. No one actually wants to see players suspended. Not the NFL, not the owners, GMs, or coaches. Not the players, agents, or fans. It's all for the sake of appearances and the only people who get caught up are idiots and people with actual substance abuse issues.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
