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.

      The deep ball or at least the threat thereof is an absolutely essential component of success in today's NFL, and not the '20 air yard' nonsense that the NFL likes to push. Teams have to account for the field-flipping, immediate TD play or else they just sit on things. We've seen it for years now. And with respect to Brees, the latter half of his career has him as the ultimate short-game QB... and it still wasn't enough to overcome the best competition when it counted most. When that element went missing towards the second half of the 2010s they were still a deadly team when they had superior defense, but they ultimately fell to the best defenses.

      Bryce either finds a deep ball this year or he doesn’t.  His success hinges on that entirely. is there a successful QB currently playing that doesn’t have an accurate deep throw? there are only so many underneath plays in a playbook. if that’s all bro can do, expect a pick 6 record. Defenses are too fast and smart. A devastating run game is going to 1000% have to be the thing that keeps defense honest if Bryce’s deep ball doesn’t improve. The importance of that one attribute can not be overlooked.  I so wish people would stop insulting Brees, a top 10 first ballot HOF’er with these stupid Bryce comparisons. Brees could drop a 40 yd DIME on a rollout or from shotgun.    I want the Panthers to win. I don’t care who pilots the ship. I don’t really care about any of the individual pieces.
