Debating the Seattle Seahawks and Odell Beckham Jr.
Make Russ happy
CP: Add in that this season appears to be closer to ending with a top 15 pick (that goes to the Jets), and maybe Russ really says “I want out” at the end of the year.
By bringing in Beckham, management can say, “Hey, we got you a new OC, and another WR like you wanted. Give us one more year. We’ll have more add some more talent to the roster. With you and this offense, we’re only a couple of pieces away from SB contention.”
In the end, no
AE: I guess the Seahawks could do that. But do they really want to tie up cap space on a third receiver when their offensive line and secondary need help and the team has limited draft capital?
The Seattle Seahawks will finally have some cap space next year. How much of it do they want to pay Beckham? If I’m him, I want to go to Green Bay or Kansas City for eight games and hope it clicks and up my value for a new deal next year. Going to Seattle and putting up 4 catches for 35 yards a game isn’t going to do that. Maybe he’s leaking this for leverage with other teams. Antonio Brown redux.
CP: Agree. It just doesn’t make a lot of sense for OBJ to join Seattle.
AE: Making sense has never really been his strong suit, so who knows. I’m betting he ends up in New Orleans or KC. Baltimore is a dark horse if coach John Harbaugh wants to ride that tiger. Beckham would actually be exactly what the Ravens’ offense needs.
CP: And that is why being a GM is so damn difficult…the talent is there, no question, but what goes on between the ears is something a GM can’t always scout/recognize. It’s why guys like OBJ and Josh Gordon keep getting deals (I’m only comparing Gordon and OBJ to the fact they have NFL talent and can help a team win).
Odell Beckham Jr. would like to play for a contender, per @AdamSchefter. @brgridiron
