Should we look in to OBJ? Or still too many red flags that Dallas passed on him? Thoughts?

If cheap why not he was a playmaker when not acting a fool but idk if his and MT ego can fit into the same locker room.

His stock hasn't dropped ... he is just realizing he is a washed shell with a massive injury history.

Yup, homie thinks he should get a $15 mill type deal, not a one year prove it deal.

IDK but Cam Jordan was recruiting him pretty good a week or so back.

We struck out on Landry maybe OBJ can come in and provide something.

Not many WR left that from that 2014 draft that are still playing good

12 Wide receivers drafted in first two rounds of that draft only two still playing at a high level. The rest are either on the downslide, washed up, or out the league all together.

Sammy Watkins - Washed
Mike Evans - Still Good
ODB - Washed
Bradin Cooks - Meh Downslide
Kelvin Benjamin - out the league
Marquise Lee - Out the league
Jordan Matthews - Washed been bouncing around Practice squads
Paul Richarson - Out the league
Davante Adams - Still Good
Cody Lattimer - Out the league
Allen Robinson - Meh Downslide
Jarvis Landry - Washed

I’d rather Jarvis Landry or DJ Chark.

MT13, Olave, Shaeed & Johnson give us some good receiving options. Trequan is a good blocker. Trautman is TBD. We really need cheap depth more than anything else.

I don’t think so, if OBJ were to go to the Saints he would probably play like 3 games, get injured for the season and be a headache on social media.

Dude averaged like 30 yards a game with the Rams and the media acted like it was 2014 Odell winning a Super Bowl. He's cooked and is weird as frick.

absolute best case scenario he plays the entire season, is serviceable, fairly cheap, but is a headache and distraction.

I don't think it's worth it. We aren't that desperate at WR to need to take a chance on him.

I'd say no to OBJ. Only way would be if and injury to either Michael Thomas or Olave and we needed a shot in the arm.

For my money I'm bringing back Jarvis Landry. People are crapping on him and calling him washed when he was hurt last year. His play was still there and evident in game 1 when healthy. It is very possible he could get injured again, I'm aware of that, but that also makes him cheaper. He knows the system, a second year in it should only make him better, and he's still a good locker room presence. His contract last year was 1yr/$3M worth up to $6M if I'm not mistaken, he absolutely did not earn a pay raise so he could sign a similar contract probably even a little cheaper

I'd also bring Callaway back for the right price as well, shouldn't be much more than league minimum for 1yr
