Odell to Cleveland

It’s amazing that people actually think OBJ will
Have a long career. He’s a head case. We’ve seen his profile before. End of story. Congrats to the Giants.

He would have been fine in NY - Mara didn't know how to handle him. Giants giving him up for the 17th and 95th pick + a safety (who we probably won't resign because Gettleman) is borderline insane. Even Mike Ditka is laughing at us right now.

Some of our fanbase is just as insanely stupid as Giants management. You would hope the guys getting paid would be smarter though.

Slow your roll young man. They beefed up their line with a previous trade. There's still the draft and free agency just started.

I don't think the recent trades have been terribly for the Giants. If they get to training camp without adding some quality, then you should be concerned

lol

i wouldnt let gettleman share his opinion on u10 travel soccer tryouts
 
B1GEast said:
Okay, so I take that back. He was NOT a locker room cancer, but his off the field antics and media interviews were
detrimental to other teammates, coaches and the organization.

He was not a leader and incredibly immature for a guy in the NY spotlight. Barkley, a rookie seemed to carry himself with class.

and you trust the morans who signed him a few months ago... to not trade him
 
As this awful move regards Cleveland. Great gming. As the purv has said. Free agents over picks any day. They got stars while big blue is a grad school with unproven”potential “ and s team that has only hit a few good picks in the Eli era
 
Addition by subtraction. Never winning with this guy. The entire organization is better off. Not sure Gettleman is a good GM or not, but OBJ was going to self-immolate in NY. The guy is a distraction for the Giants. It was like the entire organization had to cater to his career goals, his timeline.

Should have traded him last year. Would have got more.

I could have been okay with this in a vacuum. But not while considering Gettlemen's body of work. No way any sane fan can trust this clown..

I'm not a Giants fan. I'm on the outside looking in. I never liked that long term contract. This trade is going to look real bad if the Browns put the pieces together and win.

I'm just trying to settle these savages down.

They should thank me

The Giants are in rebuild and Odell might have struggled with it. It still is going to come back to how well did Gettleman replace Eli when all is said and done. Could be a tough couple more years. I wish Dorsey had replaced Reese.

then fire gettleman too.

I dont care. But to think that OBJ wasnt a problem and hat this was just a FB trade ignores the fact that this wasnt a FB trade.

After what steelers went through with brown and bell, i am totally down on uber talented headcases. Pats win because Brady is grounded.

This is high comedy. I basically don’t care about football or the Giants either.

Here's how I look at it...as the Jints have sukked the last couple years, have watched less and less NFL (casual-weather fan). What this trade does is, possibly make the Browns interesting enough for drifting/casual fan like me to watch some of their games.
 
Browns team is going to be pretty interesting next year both on and off the field : Mayfield , ODB, Landry , chubb and Kareem hunt? wow

Of course without Odell, the defense can pay more attention to the other receivers. So much of this must be about off field distractions, injuries and cap space. I believe his deal was for $95 million, if I correctly recall.

Is it worth added empty seats to an already low turnout? He kept meat in the seats. This shortens Saquons life span as well as he is the only real threat. Shepherd is good but not gonna take eyes off of quon.

You don’t need a $16M diva WR to win in nfl. OBJ for whatever reason had a problem being here. He’s a great talent but go watch him drop balls in his one playoff game vs GB. He can marry a kicking net in clelevend and most likely ruin a young qb.

Look at the teams that took Collins and OBJ. They normally make the wrong moves.
Expand ...
As well as the ones that drafted them and let them go for a jaunty tune.

Awful day for giants fans everywhere crushing absolutely painful! I can only hope that a future plan is in place right now things look very bleak.

Feel bad for this dude. When he started that BY account, he was all in on the Giants this coming year...and just got his heart ripped out.

A lot of the Steelers vs AB thing was simply poor management. From the top down. Nobody handled that situation well, and by that I mean over a period of years.

I'm thinking the Giants could have done better with OBJ, but I don't know the specifics.

I watched them all of last year, because I've a drinking buddy from there. They've definitely got something. This is still one of the quicker turnarounds I've ever seen. Curious to see how the team plays under the new staff.
 
Chief00 said:
They just clear a ton of cap space, I think. They are loading up on draft picks, so their future will be based on drafting and who they replace Eli with and how quickly?
This all means Eli has 2 seasons max left.
Expand ...
I hope he only plays 1 more year. I was never a fan of him even though he got 2 tings

FTFY. Shepard or anyone else that the Giants have on the roster aren't going to command a double team like OBJ did.

Barkley is going to go against 8 man fronts the entire season unless someone emerges and Eli improves.
 
Crazy how some of you are saying we “never win” if we have Odell. I think the main problem was/is our aging, incompetent QB and our makeshift O-Line. Well, for all the Eli forgivers, the line is okay/good now, so we’ll see how he does. I’ll tell you one thing though, OBJ’s ability extended Eli’s career with the Giants probably 3 seasons. But yeah, Odell was the problem.
