Seems like obj's financial control 1 more year , plus option year 2 plus franchise year 3, co align with Elis contract
Would it be wise to trade obj if we draft a fresh rookie so obj wouldn't be in his head? Think about it
Obj on a franchise tag at age 27 can get us a couple firsts to build around our new Eli
In the NFL, where trades almost never happen?
I don't get this talk at all.
Just a gut feeling..
Seeing guys like Plax, Nicks, Cruz, Smith, even Manningham and Hixon all just turn into living fossils while playing after injury minus Plax..
Obj is a phenomenal talent though
But if this team is rebuilding hardcore in 3-4 years and the LA Rams call and offer a bundle of 1st, 2nd, and 4th rounders you would have to think about it before giving Odell 5/6 years 60/70 million guaranteed money..
Besides Nicks he's my favorite Giants WR in my lifetime
I rank them
1.) OBJ
2.) Nicks
3.) Plax
4.) Toomer
5.) Cruz
Idk my bad.

So the Rams got three firsts (two from Buffalo, one from Indy), three seconds (one from Buffalo, two from Indy) and two running backs, and the trade was still a fizzle for both sides. Dickerson was almost done, and the Rams did nothing special with those picks.
The point being: Why would you ever, ever trade a star of Beckham's caliber, when he's still young, for draft picks? I'm always shocked at how many people on BBI don't realize what a crapshoot the draft is. It is incredibly rare to hit on a pick the way the Giants did with OBJ. There are a lot more William Josephs and Kenny Phillips picked in the first round than OBJs.
Remember When: A 10-player trade sends Eric Dickerson to Colts - ( New Window )
OBJ could be out of football in three years or in the middle of the greatest career a wide receiver has ever had. The Giants keeping him will not hinge on Eli.
This is not one of those times...
Really? Stay tuned for the suckage once the season begins.
He's a bad seed...
