I wonder if the rumors that Odell tanked the last few games  
Mike in Prescott : 3/12/2019 8:11 pm : link
were true? Plus there is the observation that JonC and others put forth that he might never recover that burst. I would not be surprised if there is a conditional 2020 pick based on performance that we haven't heard about yet.
This is not enough  
BigBlueDownTheShore : 3/12/2019 8:11 pm : link
just not enough.

On top of this the cap hit is fucking insane. Gettleman can go fuck himself.
So we are eating 20 million dead money too ??

I can see it now. The Giants trade their 17th pick to move up to get Haskins. That would be a real kick in the balls. Not getting anything for the trade.


God if it’s that this makes it even more nauseating. I had that thought too.

OBJ is not replaceable.
For all you guys shitting on DG or the return  
UConn4523 : 3/12/2019 8:12 pm : link
I suggest you sit back and wait for the why. If something happened the past few months and it turns out Beckham was going to pull a Brown, then he got ahead of it and got what he could.

I don’t like the return, but if shit went sour fast, when can you possibly expect?

HORRIBLE fucking return.

No, unlike the many Beckham fans

I root for the Giants and the Giants got rid of a big distraction today and have a ton of flexibility moving forward now.

say you are going to hold out for a dream offer, it had better be a dream offer - not a nightmare.

Not getting two #1's or a 1,2 and Peppers is terrible.
Might as well cut  
Amtoft : 3/12/2019 8:12 pm : link
Eli now also... With a #1 or #2 WR we have no chance.
The 3rd rounder is the one the Browns had from NE

So its #32. Haha. Shit haul.

DG said I didn't sign him to ttrade him  
Jim in Forest Hills : 3/12/2019 8:13 pm : link
and now this.

Good news is that he's unpredictable.

Bad news, was hoping for a bigger haul for OBJ.

Peppers a former first rounder, and a third rounder, pretty good haul.

Much for “we didn’t sign Odell to trade him” Either Gettleman is a liar to the media or something happened in the last week to flip the script.

GeofromNJ : 3/12/2019 8:13 pm : link
OBJ with the right quarterback is good for two touchdowns a game. Gettleman is incompetent.
At this point  
Matt in SGS : 3/12/2019 8:13 pm : link
I wonder if the Giants should just tear this all down. There is no franchise QB out there this year. If anything, next year is the year to find your QB. I really hope they aren't loading up to trade up for a Haskins.
There is no reason  
LakeGeorgeGiant : 3/12/2019 8:13 pm : link
for Eli to be here anymore.
THIS offer is deemed the “Godfather” offer?  
The_Boss : 3/12/2019 8:13 pm : link
What the fuck is going on over there???
Pull a Brown?  
NoGainDayne : 3/12/2019 8:14 pm : link
That suggests the player is all to blame and the organization had nothing to do with it.

Not a very good return for OBJ. I'm not sure Gettleman is going to last long. Or Shurmur for that matter.

never wanted him traded, but certainly wanted more than what we got. This is awful. I like Peppers, but at least another #2 was required, and even then I would have likely said no. Beckham is a generational talent on his second contract. Draft picks bust all the time.


I couldn't agree more.
What are the cap ramifications of this bullshit?

There is literally no point in keeping Eli now.

23.2 ,million cap hit to throw the ball to...Sterling Sheppard?! Enough already.
The only thing wrong with this is it's a couple years late  
Go Terps : 3/12/2019 8:15 pm : link
If you thought the Giants were getting a big haul for a guy that's played 16 games in two years and has the richest contract at the position, that's on you.

Welcome to the real world.
No one is above being traded

WANTED TO GIVE GETTLEMAN TIME BUT...  
Festina Lente : 3/12/2019 8:15 pm : link
This is an absolute disgrace. I think he should be fired for this trade alone (even without many of his other questionable decisions). I am at a loss.
Don't forget about the cap/dead money hit people.
I could accept this trade  
Dave on the UWS : 3/12/2019 8:15 pm : link
if it was a 1,2 and Peppers (who hasn't scratched the surface yet), then I could MAYBE buy this. But this is a package that they could get at ANY time. I'm betting OBJ told Gettleman he wants out NOW or he will be a horror show all next year. DGs response was fine, you're out of here. Bad job by Gettleman.
Wow. I come back to BBI and this happens?  
BigBlueBuff : 3/12/2019 8:15 pm : link
Holy crap! This is just an awful deal and about the only silver lining I can see is that Beckham can't pull an Antonio Brown and screw the franchise. Beyond that, I don't see one single redeeming thing from this trade.
trade away a potential HOF player  
bc4life : 3/12/2019 8:15 pm : link
for 17th pick. Time to root for another team? Maybe
Who  
AcidTest : 3/12/2019 8:16 pm : link
is the #1 WR on this team? Shepard? Nice player, but he's not a #1.

This also makes Barkley less effective.

If you sign a person to a free market (non-restricted by rookie rights, etc.) contract, his trade value is zero. This is because in theory all other teams could have offered him $1 more and won his services.

Once you trade him, they still have to pay him, despite formerly deciding he was not worth the price.

This is why stars that are signed on the open free agency market are often traded for low round picks.

Odell just signed a massive extension which made him the highest paid WR in the league. It's true this wasn't a true open market deal, as it was an extension, but seeing as it is the #1 salary in the NFL for his position, it's fair to say that his salary was commensurate with the market rate for his talent. This is why you don't get excess value for trading him.


this isn't exactly right.

- you only get to sign a player to one of these contracts (extension) if you already control them. there was not some other unrestricted WR of equal talent and production available to sign. if so, they could get more.

- the team taking over the contract is getting him at a discount (cap-wise).

so there is value. the amount is to be negotiated. i think this is a bad trade, since draft picks bust all the time. ugh.
