OBJ? O HELL NO!

Flat out let me sum it up. 

I want NO part of the rumored Odell Beckham Jr. trade to the Vikings that has been the buzz of the day. 

We get OBJ, Cleveland gets a 2 and 5 next year. 

No! Rick, don't do it!

It would be hard to think of an NFL player in the last decade more overrated than Beckham. Two things caused this, I think. One was simply playing in New York. The other was the one handed circus catch he made on Sunday Night Football.

Yes he put up some big stats his first 3 years, on largely bad Giants teams that just threw the ball all the time. Somebody had to catch all those Eli throws that weren't being picked.

But his last 3 years have been nothing special at all. He had injuries in 2017, then barely scraped 1,000 yards in 2018. 

Here, even though he was just a year into a fat new contract, the Giants shipped OBJ to the Browns for a 1st and 3rd rounder, amongst other trade pieces. He had another okay season, with just over 1,000 yards. 

But now, only a year after trading 2 high picks for him, and with a team they still presumably feel is on the verge, the Browns are suddenly trying to trade him for far LESS than what they traded for him 12 months ago? If that doesn't raise red flags I don't know what will. Why do the Browns seem motivated to get rid of him? 

Could it be that he is arguably the single biggest diva receiver in the league (Antonio Brown doesn't count)?

Wasn't the whole point of trading Diggs last month that he was himself a diva? And now we're gonna replace him with an even bigger malcontent, and an inferior player? 

If this were a low cost flyer move, say a late round pick and little money, maybe this would be different. But you're giving up 2 picks and you're still gonna have to pay him a lot of money, money that we just don't have.

Stand pat. Don't make this dumb trade destined to be one of the worst in franchise history. Draft a receiver or 2 in what is supposed to be a deep draft for that position.
