OBJ on waivers and the Panthers…

Not just no, but hell fuging no. This dude has been a lockerroom problem everywhere he's ever been and his play no longer even comes close to justifying dealing with it. If we were a team on the brink of being a contender with an obvious weakness at WR, then maybe. It'd be something to think about. But honestly, that's the only type of team that should even consider bringing OBJ into the fold whether it's via waiver claim or via FA if he clears waivers. I won't be shocked if he clears.

What good has he really done for any team he has been on?  He made a catch with one hand one time and was crowned the greatest WR ever.

I wouldn't go that far. His first three years in the league he looked like a sure-fire HOFer. He probably had about the strongest first three years of any WR in league history. Since then though? Meh. Hindsight being 20/20, the Giants made a great call cashing in on his trade value and moving on.

He may not be claimed at all. In my opinion he shouldn’t be claimed but I bet the Saints get him. Fug that guy…I’ll never forget him taking headshots on Norman and screaming on the sidelines like a man child. 

Norman broke him. Maybe it was the baseball bats? He has never been the same. Guy is mentally fragile.

He may end up clearing waivers. If he gets picked up, the team is on the hook for the rest of his rather large salary for this year(I believe). He has $15 mil/year in 2022 and 2023 but zero of that money is guaranteed. 

It's possible teams may just want to get him on an even smaller deal since he is a head case and injury prone. Remember that Antonio Brown never recovered his market value after all his hysterics.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
