Odell Beckham Jr. Hopes To Be The Highest Paid Player In The NFL

There are roughly plays a game give or take 20. He may see the ball thrown his way roughy 3-7 times a game? He is 1/11th of the offense and 1/22 (not even counting special teams) of the starting players on his team, but has stated that he wants basketball player money. Basketball players play either offense or defense every play. Basketball players are 1/5th (minus players off the bench so roughly 1/8th) of their team. There is a reason that basketball players make substantially more per player than football. A basketball roster is 13 players, Football 53. It basic math. You can only cut up a pie in so many slices. The more slices, the smaller the pieces.

Breaking news: pro athlete would like to be the highest paid pro athlete.

I know everyone will disagree with me, and I don't blame him for trying to get everything he can. But, to me, this guy is exactly what is wrong with sports. Constantly self promoting. Not worried about winning. Just hey, look at me! I was one of Odell's biggest fans at LSU. Now I cringe when I hear his name in the news. I guess it's just the world we now live in. Sad

Is that a Mr Poopybutthole shirt?

Someone will dump 15 mil on him. Have to put a "no boys trips during bye weeks" clause in that contract though

hopey changy in the left hand and deposit excrement in the right hand and see which one fills up the fastest.

I'm surprised he hasn't held out for a restructure. There's no reason for someone with his value to be going in to his 4th year on that paltry contract.

Get your money Odell... I'm sure plenty will come in here and tell you to just shut and play football!

i miss how when he was in college and not allowed to all this press coverage

Not happening

No Odell. You're a receiver not a quarterback or left tackle.
