Odell is only 25 and a great receiver. I’d give them our pick one of our thirds and one of Gettleman guys, Vern, Shaq

fug him! he isn't as good as he thinks he is, I'd pass. Plus, we cant afford him.

On paper, there's no stopping the Rams this year. But on paper, that Eagles team with Vince Young was supposed to be the tits. That defense is due to have a melt down.

Peters, Talib, Suh, and Beckham? Hello Hardknocks!

Only 3 will make it out of preseason alive!

I'm just glad we don't play them this year, they're Burfict away from being this team:

As much as I wouldn’t trade a 1st for OBJ nor would I give him the contract he’s asking for, I gotta think there are some other desperate GMs out there that would offer something higher than #23

If the Giants had a good O line, or a good running game, or a good defense, I could see paying him and front loading the hell out of the deal.  

However, they are in full rebuild, and will need a lot of pieces to compete with the Eagles in that division.

I think trading the head case, and acquiring as many bullets as possible, drafting your QB at 2, and moving on is the best idea.

Giants should take it

What OBJ brings to the table isn't going to fix what ails the Giants.  His eccentric behavior and outrageous pay demands are a headache/distraction to the team's rebuilding process.

Giants might be able to obtain a higher 1st or additional picks for OBJ by waiting, but for the sake of the team's future, moving on from his antics might be worth accepting 23 from the Rams.

yeesh Rams going for broke

That offense would be incredible with Gurley and OBJ, but then what? How do you keep the stars you have on defense, Gurley, Goff, OBJ etc. etc.?

Better hope it pays off.

Agree.

This also seems like it's coming from over DG's head as well.  Owners seem skiddish on paying him top player money, and they likely know him and his antics better than any of us.

If I'm the Titans, I'm probably making this call.  See if Mariota really is the guy.

[top dawg]

The Rams are trying to be opportunistic and get OBJ on the cheap. We'll see if Gettleman folds.

[stirs]

If Eli is going to be retiring soon, then they will be breaking in a new QB.  So, you gonna pay this guy boatloads of money while your new QB takes a couple years to come into his own?

I would move him.

Get a first and third and never look back

NFL windows close very quick (unless you're the Pats). We've been clamoring for a true #1 WR ever since Cam arrived. Now that one is potentially available I say go for it. Not sure how you defend a Cam, OBJ, Olsen, CMC, Funchess, Samuel package.

Yeap, Giants ownership has now gone out of their way to make negative comments to the press about OBJs antics.  OBJ must realize that his days as a Giant are either numbered or if he remains in NY, the ownership has no intention meeting his pay demands.

A trade seems better for all parties invovled than contentious negotiations on salary.

It simply makes more sense for Super Bowl contender like the Rams to seek out OBJ's services as a potential difference maker.

Giants can better spend OBJs salary elsewhere.
