Odell Beckham available for trade?

Odell Beckham - WR - Giants
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports contract-year WR Odell Beckham "will not set foot on a field without a new contract."

Beckham is scheduled to make $8.459 million on the fifth and final year of his rookie deal. Following a season ruined by injury, the receiver understandably wants more security, but it is unclear if the Giants are willing to offer it. On Sunday, owner John Mara refused to rule out trading Beckham while saying he is "tired of answering questions" about the receiver's off-field behavior. While it would be a terrible move for the Giants, a Beckham trade cannot be ruled out at this point.


I'd be willing to give up our first this year and a 3rd or 4th next year if we could somehow sign Suh, extend Donald and give Beckham a new contract.

I just don’t see it being realistic. We can’t have everybody lol.

We don't have the money for Suh, Beckham AND Donald. That's more than even Demoff can do.

Also... Beckham is a trainwreck. Who knows how he'll behave once he's been paid. Moreover, he's shown ZERO interest in being coached.

Having a passion to win isn't enough.

Both Marcus Peters and Suh have both answered to their coaches and teammates (as for Suh in Miami, remember this is the same organization where the lockerroom fostered the Jonathan Martin debacle).

Beckham, while being proven right that he shouldn't play without that next contract, unfortunately, hasn't shown any organizations that he's capable of earning that franchise level contract.

Lastly, if things work out well, we have FAR too many "franchise" level players on the roster as it is.

Aaron Donald
Todd Gurley
Jared Goff
Marcus Peters
and if his ascent continues... Lamarcus Joyner

Even if we only count the top 4... no team has that many "franchise" contracts to juggle. It'll be a Cirque d'Soleil level juggling act to make THAT happen.

At his best, Beckham is a game changer. Unfortunately, he's one player among several who I truly think has too much baggage (and he's apparently buying more luggage as we speak...)

 

[OldSchool]

With all the other expensive contracts and decisions coming up it'd be nice to add him but unrealistic to be able to afford him.

 

[fearsomefour]

F no.

 

[Ramhusker]

I think the Rams have someone in mind to develop with one of those 6th round picks. The only skills he needs from the onset is speed and an ability to track the deep ball.

 

[…..]

Even if Beckom was someone I desired, fact of the matter is he truly believes he should be the highest paid player in the league.

We cant have 3 of those.

We not me times 3? could'nt work lol

Well I am all for adding talent, but beyond the fact that we couldnt afford him, the douchebag factor is real. Assuming we sign Suh, the Rams lockerroom will be at max douchebag capacity Imo.

Dont get me wrong. Idgaf about the four pillars and I think Suh can be a great addition. But when it comes to ass hats and douchebags, you have to maintain careful control or they will infest a workplace and breed like rats..
Same with hipsters. You can have one or two around, tops. Three or more and they will build a micro brewery or a gastro pub and then you will be surrounded by an army of Subaru driving Skinnyjean Lumberjack looking dudes who used to bleach their hair and blast The Real Slim Shady from their lowered twotone honda civic while cruising outside the foodcourt at the mall...

I don't think he's "Ram Material" He's not a "We-Not-Me" Type! We don't need him F-ing-Up the Looker Room!! JMO

 

[dieterbrock]

Lol

 

[Merlin]

"Passion to win." Please. Dude is a whiny @$$ b!#ch who cries when things don't go his way.

I don't care how great a player a guy is if he's all about himself and comes with all that kind of baggage.

And yes, Demoff isn't capable of getting that guy locked up. At this point it remains to be seen if he can sign even some of the great players we're growing here in this program.

 

[RamsSince1969]

F no.

Short, quick and to the point! Love it!

This won't happen for us, simply too much money. Unless he takes the legal weed discount.

Giants seem hesitant , too much money for a WR in my opinion . These big contracts end up hurting teams. Someone will pay him and reach for that superstar talent.

Look at cousins , if they don't win this year that contract becomes a failure. They will end up losing tons of talent on defense becaus their money is wrapped up in 1 position.

You paint quite a picture...

And you give heartfelt compliments...

Jarvis Landry wants him on browns... so Brown should trade us Gordon for a 6th then trade for Beckham
