OBJ traded to Browns

[Veer]

After trading their most talented and most popular player, the Giants will have to make a somewhat spectacular move in the draft. They have the draft picks now to do so and need a young QB to fill the seats.

If Keim is able to launch a bidding war for the 1st pick between the Raiders, Giants and maybe some dark horse suitor (Broncos?) - all while acting like we are in love with Murray - it could work out well for us.

Next two years will tell us if the Browns are really a cursed franchise.

I applaud the Giants. They got rid of a headcase who hasn’t been the most durable wr in football. They picked up a very good young safety to replace Collins along with two draft picks. They are in a position to move up in the draft ( if they want) . They can assure themselves Haskins ( if they want) and may even pick up a wr like Hollywood Brown or Metcalf . I say one thing , can we ever appreciate what we have in Larry Fitzgerald?

 

[Broseph]

It just may be the Browns thing to do but watch they go 8-8

Anyone that thinks Giants won this trade even by a little bit must really hate ODB.

Hard to say. Have to wait a year and see what the Giants get for their 2 picks and how Peppers comes along.

2-3 years from now they could most definitely be the winner in this trade...

Hard to help your team from the training table..

Gettleman is the GM.

I don’t expect any good picks from him.

I wonder how Cleveland will feel when he threatens to sit out for a new contract . Antonio brown has sent precedent.

Set what precedent?

Players have been sitting out for new contracts for a while now.

Not quite the way Brown and Bell has. We are going to see this more and more with 2 years left on their contracts. Had we traded for beckham I wonder how many people here would have been saying “ great , if he stays healthy?”

Not one year after signing a 5 year deal

Hasn’t there been a rumbling already that he wants a re-do?

Yes although I don’t know how true they are... With OBJ and his attitude it wouldn’t shock me.

 

[Chopper0080]

Giants are bad. Makes me feel happy we have Keim. That is telling.

ESPN's Jordan Raanan reported on SportsCenter #Giants will "transition to a Gettleman-preferred run-first attack" post-Odell Beckham. Expect offense to face increase in 8+ man fronts with more 12 personnel due to severe WR shortage.

We need to make an offer for Evan Engram.

That worked out well for the Cardinals last year.

Poor Barkley. That guy is a stud and he is going to be wasted.

Very interesting... 6+17+next years 1 would do the job...

Dave Gettleman on the Odell Beckham Jr. trade said it was because it was in the best interest of the New York Giants. Specified it was a "football decision." Nothing more to it. Gettleman also said Giants only called out to Bills. The 49ers and Browns called them to make offers.

Dave Gettleman reiterates that he didn't sign Odell Beckham Jr to trade him.
"What changed it is another team made us an offer we couldn't refuse."

"Talks were initiated by the Browns. John [Dorsey] knew we weren't just going to give Odell away...there was considerable back and forth." - GM Dave Gettleman on a conference call
