FinishTheDrill Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Guys in one of my leagues are all chattering on group text about OBJ going to KC. "Book it", "bank on it" etc. I find Nothing remotely substantiating this anywhere online. I am not high on OBJ, he's drop happy and maybe a bit of a ****. Thoughts? Hear anything?

Finn5033 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I’ve been sitting on the him all year. I hope he goes to a bad team that has to throw a lot. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League_Champion Posted November 5, 2021 Author Share Posted November 5, 2021 He has to go somewhere that has a strong veteran locker room. Andy Reid is great at dealing with strong personalities. I could definitely see KC happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Mayfield pissed him off then Taysom Hill will give him a heart attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Released means he has to clear waivers, which gives crappy teams top first choice. Right? I guess it was wise not to cut him from my team as he could have some value somewhere, but honestly I think this guy isn't the same and was a bit of a one trick pony whose reputation was built on a few highlight real catches. He's never been the same guy since missing most of 2017 with an ankle injury.

I would imagine so. And I'm guessing that he'll clear waivers because of the salary, although it's probably not too bad of a hit at this point into the season.

And I'm guessing that he'll clear waivers because of the salary, although it's probably not too bad of a hit at this point into the season. I can never remember how that works, when player is cut/released and goes thru waivers, teams assume the existing contract? Or just for that season? Just started to read an article in the local paper, and seeing it says that OBJ aske to be traded multiple times recently, including during the offseason. This one is on Browns management, should have done something long ago, it had to be clear inside the organization that his was not working. So many in the media and fanbase could see it. Today is OBJ's birthday, what a birthday present, piles of cash and a chance to find a new partner. Sounds like the Browns are restructuring the contract so the cap hit is less. Maybe that means he goes to a crappy team like the Texans or Jaguars "Beckham, who was still owed $8.05 million by the Browns, must clear waivers before he can become a free agent, but the restructuring lowers his waiver price and makes it more likely he’ll be claimed."

squirrelmastr21 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) 12 minutes ago, purplemonster said: Other people know better than me but my understanding is if he clears waivers, Browns still are on the hook for the salary. (If another team picks him up, then they pay it, but it is expected no one will). However if OBJ agrees to less money, say 4 million, then they cut him and he is free to sign anywhere and get paid on top of that. Otherwise they will just have him sit at home and collect his 8 million but he may have diminished prospects going forward. Correct me if I am wrong. He agreed to a cut. But I doubt it’s anything significant like $4 million. Once he clears waivers, he can collect his Browns salary and play for any other team at the league veteran minimum ($1 million prorated). He doesn’t have to sit home to collect his Browns salary. The league veteran minimum will be deducted from the Browns $8 million they still owe.

Big John Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 NFLN is saying that the Browns will restructure his contract down to a $1M base contract and change the rest to a signing bonus. This will make him more affordable on waivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
