Sounds like too much, but what if this was part of a sign and trade in which there was a substantial signing bonus? The Giants would have to pay out and eat the bonus against this year's cap, but it would soften the annual cap hit for the Rams. Twitter also just said the Rams are starting to schedule interviews with tackles they expect to be available in the 3rd round....

Only thing I buy on this tweet is the contract. Point is to never have enough weapons. Subtracting Kupp after 1 year on a cheap rookie deal to give the giants another slot WR in addition to Sterling shepherd makes no sense. Giants going after a potential 1 year rental in Hav also makes no sense. Unless a team has 2 first doubt anyone spends 2 firsts just to give a guy a 20 mil plus a year.

Right? Demanding so much that it would cripple the Rams, when the point would be to be strong enough to be heavy Super Bowl favorites this year.
As the old saying goes - Pigs may get fat, but hogs get slaughtered. Let OBJ become a free agent and the Giants get a late 3rd for him. And while he may not be able to hold out this year - if he's tagged he can refuse to sign till the last third of the season - and still get millions to tide him over. And I think he would do that.

LOL
That $20 million a year has been what he said he wants from the start and the Giants have been asking for 2 firsts from the get go and now that people see it written out in this thread all of a sudden it's too much?

And wasn’t that odd? Cooper Kupp - a rookie - was getting him set on the line. I know Kupp is wise and smart for a rookie but... really?
This is also a pro and con argument for OBJ. From most accounts, McVay’s offense is not super complicated nor ground breaking. So just because Sammy didn’t light it up doesn’t mean another good receiver couldn’t. Granted, they have to actually do it. But it seems that a talented skill player with decent brain power could do it.
Now back to OBJ... he lacks maturity and social/business smarts - obviously from the video and other behavior. But the dude can flat out ball and he appears to love to. Isn’t that what you want?
Back in the day (another shitty cliche) players used to hire hookers (no doubt still do), smoke ciggies on the sideline, get drunk the night before games, shoot people from a limo (alledgedly), wear pantyhose, taco receivers and gloat over their lifeless bodies and fans were good with it.
I don’t like the persona of OBJ but at some point you have to look past THAT.
So here comes the big BUTT. Several years ago, the NFL did a study. They studied the correlation between drug use and injuries. They found that they coincided very regularly. This study was conducted almost 40 years ago when coke, speed and... yes meth... were getting noticed by the NFL. This is coming directly from a pro coach.
So my point is that maybe the video of OBJ is not innocent - nor is it something to be discarded. Maybe his injuries last year are a symptom and the Giants know it. He’s a great talent - no doubt. But is he also a train wreck waiting to happen.

I'm generally ok with the money and sort of ok with two firsts all though i'm on the line there. Cooper Kupp makes it a no for me, the kid is the kind of player you build around. Havenstein I'd be ok with losing but would scare me being that we have zero depth already at tackle. Overall, this total offer is a joke. But if that's the starting point of negotiations and what is being traded can be talked down some i'd be mostly ok with it as long as Kupp isn't involved.

The only 2 players possible I'd include on a trade for ODB would be Tavon or Barron. I'd probably consider Reynolds....but they definitely cannot have Kupp...

That price is going to come down .we're 4 weeks away from the draft and the Giants have no need to put a reasonable price out .they're just gonna see if someone bites .by the third week of April they'll get a little antsy and back off on the price a bit

Sure but the #1 offense in the league w/Sammy wasn't too bad ....and you don't have to deal away more picks.
I'm 99.9% fully not on board with adding OBJ here.

That's a repeat of a totally bogus post... AND they throw in Kupp or Havenstein, neither of whom can we replace atm.
It's nonsense and I'm surprised Downtown Rams would have anything to do with it.
