That one handed catch is the most overrated play in sports.

If he can leave his drama with the Browns, I wouldn’t mind seeing him come to the Ravens.

Based on what I am seeing, the Browns don’t take much of a dead cap hit but OBJ’s salary for this season and the next two is about $13m / season.

That is a hell of a chunk of cap room to absorb via wavers in mid season, which likely reduces the chances he gets claimed.

They agreed to reduce his salary to the vet minimum for this season (or atleast convert it to a bonus) to facilitate a potential pick up via waivers

Also once the browns cut him, they will not owe that salary in the following seasons and none of that money is guaranteed so any team claiming him could cut him without financial penalty at any point

Ben Simmons probably texting OBJ right now asking him how he managed to do that.

Mr. Simmons should post a video compilation of all the times his teammates missed Ben being wide open at the three point line.

I think YouTube has a hard limit on the length of video.

People don’t defend Ben at the 3 because he can’t or won’t shoot, so you would see pretty much all the footage from when he is on the floor.

Why would they release him without at least trying to shop him around to get something in return?

They did a few days ago, but couldn't make a deal and now the trade deadline has passed.

The difference between Simmons is Beckham has never been accused of not working or playing hard. He just bitches all the time and is a diva on and off the field.
