By the way, just wanna say I'm messing around with the rap so no one thinks I really feel that way. I'm just making fun of that fact so don't come at me bro! :laugh1:

Oh! That was Rap!?! I'm so glad.

I thought you were having some type of seizure.

Small salary with big time incentives on a 1 year prove-it deal.

OBJ returning to Rams imo would be the best news yet except for McVay coming back. We would have a very competitive passing game with two outstanding receivers (assuming the the oline isn’t a shambles again.)
I'd do a one year prove it deal. Then an extension in 24 if he pans out.

OBJ will require the market to speak to him in very bad numbers he does not like. If that happens maybe he gets down to our range on a prove-it deal, which could potentially be outstanding for us.

If we had OBJ, draft a RB like Gibbs… patch the offensive line and we got a top unit.

I think a lot of teams will do that. The problem is, that’s not what Beckham wants. Question is who blinks, or whether there’s some compromise.
Exactly.
To sign him, a team will give him a 3-4 year deal with decent signing bonus and low guaranteed money.
Something like
4 year deal, 75 mill
20 mill signing bonus,
2023 5 mill salary guaranteed
2024 12 mill salary, guaranteed at start of 2024 league year
2025 15 mill salary non guaranteed, 4 mill roster bonus
2026 15 mill salary non guaranteed, 4 mill roster bonus
That way he gets his chunk of cheddar, and team is protected if he flames out

Good luck to the team that gives him huge jack like that. He has missed considerable time in 3 of the last 6 years, including all of 2022 and he'll turn 31 in November. Add to that he has had some problems other than health. I don't doubt he'll get more than he should....somebody will believe he's worth it. I see a 3 yr contract with voidable years at the end to absorb the signing bonus. Those are all the rage now.

So far he doesn’t have a buyer willing to give him what he wants. Isn’t he over 30 with a few knee repairs? I read that he wants 8 million a year.

I read $15-$20M at one point which was hysterical to me.

Yeah, like you said, no one is biting yet but it only takes one team, with cap space and a perceived need.

OBJ instantly makes the 2023 Los Angeles Rams primetime T.V. and a darkhorse in the conversation to make the playoffs. Because you can never underestimate any team coached by McVay. Just ask the 2022 Raiders. What if in week 17 we are one win away from a wildcard birth? Get OBJ for that "show me" deal and we are off to the races.

Would those patches be like my old blue jeans heavy-duty knee patches I wore for most of my childhood?

I thought that last year the Rams ran out of OL patches & the patches that McVay used were already used & full of holes.:biggrin:
