OBJ running a route on IG

BlackLight : 1/31/2023 2:26 pm
Not much to look at, but better than nothing. It's in his IG stories if the link doesn't work.

I still say if you can bag him for a deal that has a big old ripcord attached, ready to pull for if(when) he goes cuckoo, then go ahead and make that deal.
Link - ( New Window )
I think OBJ could be a decent weapon in this offense...  
Dan in the Springs : 1/31/2023 2:28 pm : link
but he is not going to want to sign a value contract with us, and even if he did, he will not be happy playing for that value for long.

I don't think he's shown the mental stamina to play at or below market rate for very long.

he has not shown the mental stamina to deal with adversity AT ALL. Regardless of whether it is on or off of the field issues. He also never seems to be mentally satisfied with whatever his situation is.
nope...

I would say its a hard pass  
Rudy5757 : 1/31/2023 2:36 pm : link
after his latest airplane incident and the talent in decline he is not worth bringing into the locker room. When he was a top WR you could explain putting up with his antics but I dont think his value on the field would be worth the aggravation. During a short term playoff run yes, but not for a full season or even a few year deal.

That ship has sailed.
It’s funny how  
JoeyBigBlue : 1/31/2023 2:52 pm : link
The entire NFL was on where OBJ would sign in the beginning of December. Once that Cowboys report came out that he wasn’t fully healed, his prospects of signing for a team, for this season, went down the drain. It’s like he knew he wasn’t ready and was trying to get a payday for this season.
Smells like another KG deal. No way are they signing him unless hes  
Blue21 : 1/31/2023 2:54 pm : link
100 % and they are 100% he is. Running a route on IG means nothing.
Depends on the $  
OBJ_AllDay : 1/31/2023 2:59 pm : link
If its $7/8 mil that's not far off from a player like Slayton or Jakobi Meyers is going to get. And I'd take Beckham over those guys.
Not opposed  
crackerjack465 : 1/31/2023 3:03 pm : link
but it just comes down to the money.

up to 8 or 9, I'd say sure. 10+, nope.
No way  
k2tampa : 1/31/2023 3:10 pm : link
Would I want his attitude and personality anywhere near this lockerroom.

OBJ did everything to get himself ejected from that plane like it was a game against Carolina.
Chiefs could use him

thank you. why does anyone care about this jerk?
I dont think OBJ is getting big money from anyone  
Payasdaddy : 1/31/2023 3:20 pm : link
we may get him at somewhat of a value contract
pros and cons to doing that but its more like a 3 yr 35 million deal with outs
not saying we want him or should just dont see the $$$ flying his way
Besides causing an entire flight to deplane because of his antics  
RobCrossRiver56 : 1/31/2023 3:22 pm : link
OBJ the self absorbed douche bag called out a 70+ year old man. Fuck OBJ, I don't want him anywhere near the NY Giants. And I don't care if run or catch, the man child is an asshole, period...
Would have considered him if he could have signed and played  
BigBlue7 : 1/31/2023 3:26 pm : link
at the end of 2022.

Shouldn't be anywhere near our radar for 2023

SomeFan : 1/31/2023 3:28 pm : link

Psychopathic malignant narcissist drug addict.

OBJ forced his way off that plane like it was the Cleveland Browns.
I just cannot understand  
Beezer : 1/31/2023 4:34 pm : link
how some Giants fans would want to put THAT guy, with THAT personality type, and THAT injury history at THAT age (wrong edge of 30) in the middle of THIS locker room, when things are going really well, ESPECIALLY when he MIGHT - MIGHT - be able to perform on a level of a guy we claimed off another team's practice squad in November.

How many times does the guy have to prove that he's STILL an idiot?

No thank you very much.

Sure.
Just re-sign

Nicks or Toomer. Same thing without the drama.
Compare that route  
Les in TO : 1/31/2023 6:14 pm : link
To his explosiveness in 2016. I loved him on the Giants but he’s never going to be the same player and prime resources need to be invested on the offensive line and linebacker.
This team is supposed to be without drama queens  
MeanBunny : 1/31/2023 7:37 pm : link
Thibs is the closest guy I have seen to OBJ, and THIBs is genuinely just weird, not toxic. He says nice things about his team, coaches and mostly himself.
The way the team is constructed, it's more like a High School vibe than NFL and the endless egos. I am sure that will change organically if the payola gets out of hand. IE: Saquon gets a shit ton and doesn't perform to the dollar.Right now, Golladay gets the absurd money but he stays pretty quiet and collects the money and is generous with the team(free money basically)
OBJ is such a colossal headache.
A BAD influence on Shep, Saquon and others.
OBJ is also not LT, another off-field nightmare. But LT performed 100% all the time.
No thanks.

His days are done.
besides being a headcase and a distraction, the potential

for OBJ to be a bad influence on younger players is very real. I don't want him anywhere near our locker room.
For vet minimum

I'd look to see...

On 2nd thought, nah.

+1. After his behavior on that flight, ownership might step in and block a signing for image reasons. Not worth it.
