Thought he’d be lucky to get 5. Seems like he played as much as MT the last three years.

He played his arse off in the limited appearances for the Rams. Was enroute to Super Bowl MVP. He’s still got it I think but if Lamar isn’t throwing to him then who knows

Limited appearances? He played in 17 of the 19 games they played that year.

And he averaged like 40 yards a game.

Odell is a washed diva WR who’s headed to a low-volume passing offense. It’s not going to be pretty.

8 games, he wasn't with the team the entire year. Per game he averaged 38.1 yards on 3.4 receptions for 11.3 Y/Reception. He had 6.4 targets for a catch rate of 56.3% and 6.4 YPT.

I don't know about washed but he isn't top shelf anymore. The question is can he play an entire season anymore?

You’re right, forgot Cleveland cut him halfway through the year and there was a big saga about where Odell would sign.

This is crazy to me as well. I could see ~$8 guaranteed, and can earn up to 15 based on performance incentives. I think he will still tear it up, but you really don't know since he hasn't played since the ACL injury over a year ago.

Did laugh that they gave him that kind of guarantee, but are balking at giving Lamar close to the guarantees he wants.

He’s an injury waiting to happen. Good for him for getting paid though.

He’s not worth half that

This is likely done to appease Lamar bc they got shite else at the position. This just compounds their issue

Is Bmore just trying to save face here?

Lamar stays because we got him weapons.

Lamar left even though we got him weapons.

they are idiots for giving him that and he will get rich while hardly ever playing for them

15 mill for a guy who hadn’t had 1k yards in almost 5 years is crazy

The Michael Thomas deal doesn't look so bad now.

They would not have done what they did if they wanted him "appeased".

I think the Ravens believe that Lamar will end up signing that tender because he'll never really pursue anything.

he has no agent first of all.

There is a lot of unknown there with a guy that's had 2 ACL tears with Odell. So if something were to happen to him they'd be back at square one.

I think a draft day trade for Lamar is all that is left at this point.
