What a terrific fail that we weren't able to make this work long term.
I get that Odell could be a head case but there are tons of headcases in the NFL and teams make concessions to make it work.
Sorry not sorry - but watching him tonight makes me sad for the Giants and happy for him. You go OBJ!
He did the same thing in Cleveland
What are you gonna do? At least the Giant got something
Cleveland was forced to cut him
There are more assholes then headcases in the NFL
He got into the LA highlife during off-season training and decided it’s where he wanted to be.
I don't know if its regret as much as disappointment that we couldn't keep him and show him his due or replace him with another electric player. Is there anyone on the roster on either side of the ball that deserves the excitement he generated? Barkley did for a minute - but he's still not back.
Toney might if he can stay healthy. I really want someone who is exceptional in Giants blue and we just don't have anyone.
It's all pretty depressing to think about what could have been.
Easily 30 WRs I'll take before OBJ. He's clearly lost that tantalizing 1st step he had with us
Just does not have the same burst as when he came into the league
I am cheering for him tonight.
Don’t think this 100% true. If the Giants were winning the comments he made in the Lil Wayne interview never happen.
I’ll take a roster full of head cases if it means we’re watching playoff games

And now have regrets? How about 10 weeks ago? Or last year?

way to back step from your original post. Also you acknowledged him as a headcase, but then are like "but why" still...
I think you know the answers to all the questions you're asking. You just don't like them
Bottom line a player like OBJ is not someone you have on a team that is rebuilding or do you build around. His trade was a great trade because it shed salary.
Also he was younger then, he seems a bit more humbled now.
I loved watching him with the Giants, but he is a nice player as part of a team. He cannot carry a team like he did for the Giants in some games.
Yes, he clearly took his craft very seriously.
Really hard to believe how sideways things went.
He has 1000 yards year 1, then was hurt last year. He’s been much better without Baker.
On giving
He's still a great player and I wouldn't be surprised if he blows up for big numbers next year. His bugaboo has been health.
But he definitely didn't want to be on the Giants or in Cleveland.
That doesn't mean he isn't a really good football player. And I do think he's top 15 in the NFL.

He was right... Neither team has looked good.
The highlight of his career according to him, is when he made a great catch in a game we lost to the Cowboys. Not so sure winning was his top priority.
Now he accepts that because he can only muster 40 catches due to physical ability.
Does having his head up ass make him a head case or an asshole?
Still better than Kenny Goofoday
Your kidding right
did you just crawl out from under a rock or were you in a coma when he was tweeting just weeks after he signed that contract?

This simply isn’t true. I mean first of all we won 10 games once with him and when in 2016 did he give any indication he wanted out?

I see what you did there

Where’s this narrative coming from? He signed a huge contract here and always stated he wanted to retire a Giant and be like LT.

What are you talking about?
