land Nelson. He's an amazing talent, but I'm curious about whether Mara is tiring of him and whether in that case DG tries to move in another direction.
If it meant OBJ would sign to stay with the Giants and they where able to feed off of each other. It may also give them a focus and calm them down a bit since each would have someone to connect with. It could also be a total disaster.
But I look at it this way...what’s the harm? Is one guy really going to come in here and disrupt the whole culture? One year low risk deal to replace Marshall, make him earn that next paycheck and stick it to Dallas in the meantime
I think Odell is at a critical point in his career where he's either going to grow up a bit and be more of a professional, or he's just never going to get it. Dez is the type of guy who will help him gravitate towards the latter.
Beckham is doing the right things this offseason. He's stayed out of the spotlight for the most part (nevermind that stupid 3 second clip with the pizza - I don't buy that it was recent) and I think he understands what needs to be done to get a new contract here and stay with this team.
Having Dez Bryant in his ear on a daily basis is really the last thing I want. Dez is not a guy you want around when things aren't going well. He's a loudmouth, he shows up his teammates, he has a history of being a real piece of shit off the field, and he's not a player I want wearing this uniform.
If Dave Gettleman is smart, he'll pass on this player and aim to draft Marshall's replacement somewhere in the 2-4 round range instead.
There's a reason Dallas is letting this guy go. We should all have learned our lesson from what just happened with Brandon Marshall. Dez is declining on the field, and he's a fairly crappy person off it.
do with Dez Bryant. Marshall is shot at 35, Dez is not at 29.
The Cowboys offense with Prescott as their QB never complimented Bryant. Let's not confuse these two WR's and who would be feeding Bryant the ball. I'd take a chance!
Whether you want to believe it or not, men in their mid 20's are still very impressionable and can be influenced.
Dez would be a poor influence.
Forget Odell - take him out of the entire equation. Dez is a declining headache of a football player who was released for a reason.
If we didn't just learn our lesson from what happened with Marshall, we never will.
Get a WR who's best football is ahead of him. Not 4 years behind him.
He wants to stick it to Dallas? Great. There are 14 other games on the schedule that are just as important. Let him bring his jilted ex-lover act into someone else's locker room. We shouldn't want it here.
Wide receiver is not a need position; certainly not more than nearly every other position on this team. If Shurmur comes as advertised we'll be fine there.

He'd be a big headache and not worth the trouble IMO. At best he'd be Eli's 3rd - 4th option after OBJ, EE, and SS. No way he'd be happy about not getting the ball enough,and the bitching and moaning would soon follow.
his desire to show up Dallas will drive him, his contract would make him extremely cuttable should he prove to be what everyone fears. DG and Mara will decide in either case.
His body of work as it pertains to his behavior is obviously concerning. Also, he has never seemed to have recovered from that foot injury
I really don't want Dez anywhere near this team, but I think this might be overblown. The two have worked out in the past and from what I can piece together are friends.
I'm sure lobbying in social media is more for appearances sake anyway. Like Landry saying the Browns were trading for Odell.

Base set will be Beckham-Shepard-Ellison-Engram. Lewis and Latimer will be primary backups with Rudolph/Powe et al competing for final spots. If they can get a serviceable WR in rounds four or five, great. Free agents look completely uninspiring - none of them are worth more than a veteran minimum contract...
And is it necessary for Odell to insert himself into this story? Every week it is another cry out for attention from this guy... bizarre.

Wtf did Beckham do?
Here is what he should have done:
Dez
"Hey Odell, I'm going to be in LA and it would be great to work out this week with you - what do you say?"
Odell
"Hey Dez - would love to but the next couple of weeks are not good as I am working out with teammates and the optics would not be cool... Let's do it next time you're in town."
Odell

Youth, youth, youth. Not another headache.
It's on Dez's Instagram
he would be a great #2 wr.
a little concern about him and OBJ...but that might be overblown

Who? Gettleman or Beckham?
💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤
All he has to do to not let me down is....
Continue to be the player he's always been.
Not get into legal trouble.
If he satisfies that criteria, I won't be let down.
Beckham is not Dez Bryant. Dez is a guy you can call an asshole and I will agree with you 100% because he is.
Let him go to Washington and fight Josh Norman on the sidelines when things don't go their way.
Dez would be a poor influence.

We need a WR2 - Shepard is a WR3 and our other receivers are training camp fodder.
The thing is, if Dez wants to be a Giant, he's going to have to take a lot less than he could get on the open market.
He'd be a big headache and not worth the trouble IMO. At best he'd be Eli's 3rd - 4th option after OBJ, EE, and SS. No way he'd be happy about not getting the ball enough,and the bitching and moaning would soon follow.
He assaulted his own mom.
Rudolph. Young FA. Draft in the 3rd or 4th. Several undrafteds.
Hard no on Dez.
He is just about the last guy I would think to sign if you want the culture within this organization restored.
Now if he sucks or becomes a problem you cut him and move on..
Everyone expects the giants to suck anyway so what is the risk? You are not signing him to a 5 year deal
His body of work as it pertains to his behavior is obviously concerning. Also, he has never seemed to have recovered from that foot injury
Bc he cant control his emotions.
I thought he was in a group with Landry, Dez, James White and Kenny Stills?
Bryant only has a general idea of what a passing route looks like.

I thi k it is more of the timing of the video than anything else

for working out with another player?

Between Barkley, Odell, Engram and Shepard, how many targets are left over for a former #1 who struggles to get separation?

That literally makes zero sense

this is satire, right?
I don't care that they're working out together if that's what they want to do. I just don't want the Giants signing this dude.
I think Gettleman is smart enough not to. But we'll see
