Nobody is answering the ? There have been so many players with huge contracts over the years and have been reported as untradeable.... So how is OBJ even remotely tradeable salary cap wise for the Giants? After signing the most lucrative contract for a wide receiver in NFL history? How is it possible with his bonuses that would have to be accelerated???
They eat it.
If they really want to get to the top pick ... they want to trade him for a first round pick straight up.
GB has a high enough pick to be interesting.
OBJ isn't the team cancer that Brown is, but still he is not easy and he is injury prone, he only played a full season once in five years.
That isn't what you need in a #1 WR, that is what makes him expandable in the first place. Because you don't help from the sideline. And he has had a average to good QB for 5 years now.
Josh maybe next year plays at Eli Manning level, hopefully better, but still we aren't playoff contender with OBJ. And since OBJ gets injured (hamstring - ankle sprain - ankle fracture - Leg quadriceps bruised and than the quad gave out - Hand Thumb Sprain - Inguinal Hip Strain -Back Vertebral Bruise - Inguinal Hip Strain)
Look, for a team like GB it makes sense, but for a team like the cards, getting a WR if they need DE/OLB/OT/OG/ILB/WR/TE it makes almost no sense. They aren't that much better with OBJ and they aren't back to contender with him. The Cards have a long road to the top.
For Green Bay on the other hand or Atlanta, Detroit, New England, Indianapolis, Dallas, Oakland or even Tampa it could make very much sense to get OBJ, they all have a established QB and need WR help or think they need WR help to get over the hump.
And lets say pick #5 (1700)+#6 (1600) could be enough for our #1 (3000) and that would make very much sense for the Giants and the Cards.
