OBJ’s Mentor Seems to Think it’s Down to Giants or Dallas

Has had three major lower extremity injuries.

Broken ankle
Two torn ACL's.

He is 9 months removed from the second ACL, which is something that Joe Schoen mentioned when it was asked regarding OBJ during his bye week presser. There is leverage on both sides here, Giants could use the help at WR, and also the Giants know he is coming off a second major knee injury in two years and he isn't the player that he once was.

typically have an acquired hate for the Cowboys. I hope that is the case with OBJ. He would really add value and significantly help the Giants going forward - especially in the playoffs. His addition would also help Wandale Robinson as the slot receiver as well.

I think some are forgetting that he won't get signed without being checked out by the medical staff. If the FO wants him and the medicals check out sign me the hell up.

The upside is tremendous and we're 1 game back from the #1 overall seed in the NFC, people...

He looking for his last contract. He saw what KT got away with and wants a piece of that. PASS.

Lol the hate of #13 blinds many. He wasn't washed last year when people said he was and he won't be yet again. The man is different. At worst you get a dynamic redzone touchdown maker if nothing else.

I know he is close with Saquon and Shep. Hopefully we see #13 again in Blue.

NOT a good receiver. He’s essentially Golladay AND with as much distraction. I think there is ZERO chance he signs here.

How is he "essentially Golladay"? He played quite well for the Rams last season before the injury.

NYG will have tons of cap room next year, will DAL?

and I know a lot of his close friends. I think Odell is at the point of his life where coming back to New York and redeeming himself while also uplifting the Giants is the only thing left for him to do. He'd have the opportunity that almost no one gets, to prove that he was right.

The Giants organization was a disaster and they treated possibly the most talented player we ever had (except for LT) without the respect he deserved.

If he comes back, aside from Eli Manning, Odell would be the most beloved Giant maybe ever. The newly humbled hot head is in right now.

Would hope he's outgrown it by now, but he was given a ton of rope and hung himself, from what I'd heard. He clearly wants to get paid too, and with the wear and tear on those wheels you'd have to find common ground on a deal because there's no cap space in 2022.

we have a much better coaching staff now. He's likely changed a lot anyway but if not, I don't suspect Daboll would take his shit so its really just financial risk IMO.

which seems insane sight unseen for a guy coming off a major knee injury who was cut by his team for nothing prior to that last year.

Wow, this entire post is a load of garbage, and Im not an Odell hater

The Giants gave Odell a huge contract and he does an interview and craps all over the team, and this is after the boat trip and ensuing no-show in the playoffs, not to mention all the sideline/endzone antics. But the Giants treated HIM without respect??

Saying he would be the most beloved Giant ever is just flat out idiotic

1) How effective will he really be after his injury.
2) Giving a multi-year deal to a player his age with a long injury history.

especially a shifty one like OBJ. I can't expect too much from him this year so anyone signing OBJ would probably be as a play for next year. Just too much uncertainty with this roster, I'm not sure it would work, but its worth a shot depending on the financial commitment.

Let's unpack all of this.

Interview
OBJ did an interview and said some stupid things. Big whoop. He also played hard and his teammates loved him.

boat trip
All the WRs went on the boat trip as was their right in their free time. Do you really think that was the deciding factor in the Giants not beating a better team?

no-show in the playoffs
OBJ wasn't the only Giant who played poorly in that game. Nor was he the only pro-bowl caliber player who has ever had a bad game in the playoffs.

the sideline/endzone antics
He hugged a kicking net and mock-peed (doggy-style) in the end zone. It was dumb and a little weird, but again, he played hard, wanted to be great, cared whether he won or lost and his teammates loved him.

After experiencing a season and a half of Toney, if he checks out medically, I would absolutely love to have OBJ back!

Tend to agree. It always surprised me the media was able to brainwash a large section of fans to care about things like peeing like a dog celebration. Who cares - in philly no less... surrounded by those animals. He had 2 great touchdowns and led the comeback that game before a dagger fg ended the game for the giants. Yea he had his antics with Norman. Same game helped spark a 28/35 point comeback.

Not too many people seem to remember him near tears screaming at his teammates that nobody cared and they were getting their asses kicked by carolina.

Say what you want about the guy but he wanted to win. And has always been considered a great teammate by his peers. And I would love to see him back in blue. It would just add another level of fun and competitiveness to what has been a pleasantly surprising season.
