it’d be cool to give Lamar another weapon, and a great one at that in Odell, plus he’d be out in a heartbeat if he pulls some Earl shit. Just playing devils advocate. I’m not gonna cry about it though if it doesn’t happen. Just sounds good in my head

If he makes it through waivers, cut Sammy and give Odell the vet minimum. Unpopular opinion but fuck it. I can’t trust Sammy to stay healthy
Can’t trust Beckham to stay healthy either at this point

i dont get it - lots of people were all on us potentially bringing in a WR at the trade deadline

i dont understand what these people are seeing about our team that im not?

passing game's the best it's been in the lamar era and that's without even having the full contingent of weapons on the field together yet this year...

im not gonna say no if it happens but i dont understand why we're supposedly one of the top or favourite landing spots
Old habits die hard and most folks still cling to narratives and haven’t watched the ravens receivers perform. GMFB was actually saying Bateman has been disappointing because of his stat total. It’s insane.

I dnt want odell.. knew he would mess up browns chemistry when he got there so i def dnr want him here.. dnt need guys who gotta be forced fed on reverses and thrown screens to get them going. Also dnt need him crying when lamar mess up a pass..send his ass to packers or something they need him more

Which one said that? It had to have been Kyle.

Facts, if I’m taking a browns castoff why don’t y’all cast off Chubb or an OL

that would have to be the logic of the addition - that we've worked out our running game isnt worth anything at this point and that lamar's going to have to continue to be 85-90% of our offensive output so give him more weapons

if we know we have to pass and we cant find more pass pro help then the answer has to be to find more weapons
And then the outcry becomes “HoW dO wE gEt ThEm ThE bAlL??” And they would be right, all those weapons mean shit if Lamar doesn’t ever get a chance to set

i mean not really - that's what he'll have to play under if he gets claimed but if he makes it through waivers he'll get a much better contract
Agreed. Without knowing what restructuring they did, I'm assuming he's dirt cheap for any team that wants him on waivers for 2021. And if that's the case, I don't know why people think he even has a chance to land with a "contender". I don't see why he would get past Detroit to be honest. They're arguably the most wide receiver deficient team in the whole league.

Even if he somehow manages to get past certain clubs that are out of contention entirely, there's a whole list of teams "in the middle" that are still somewhat reasonably in a playoff hunt that would love to have a talent like him for cheap.
I look at Washington, Philadelphia, Chicago, Atlanta, San Francisco as teams that are saying to themselves "hey, we could be a wildcard team if we add a play maker and things bounce our way".

Coincidentally in this case, those are all NFC teams. And as I look at the NFC playoff picture, its super top-heavy. Everybody knows that Packers, Rams, Bucs, Cardinals and Cowboys are really good. There's still two open wildcard spots and there's no obvious teams that seem to be in that running. Saints are 5-2 but just lost Winston for the year and aren't getting Michael Thomas back. They could easily fall back. Beyond that, you've got Carolina, Atlanta, Chicago, Minnesota, Seattle, San Fran, and Philadelphia all sitting with 3 or 4 wins. One or two of those teams is going to make the playoffs most likely. If I'm somebody like Philadelphia or Chicago, I'm saying "why not me with Odell".

All these people listing the Packers, Ravens, Saints, Raiders, Chiefs, etc. out there... I don't see how those teams win waiver claims for this guy if he's as cheap as it sounds he will be. If he manages to make it through waivers, then sure, all those teams are in play. But I doubt he does.

I love GMFB, but I caught that too. Like......this will be the 3rd time he sets foot in an NFL stadium. It's unfair to him to expect him to light it up instantaneously.

Kay gets a pass cuz she’s the wifey but Kyle be sayin dumb shit

Kay gets a pass on everything because of that lol. As for Odell, I mean sure he would help us but I don't want him to disrupt our locker room as we have something special we are building. It would be funny if the Lions claimed him lol, if he thinks Baker is bad, wait until he has Goff throwing to him.
