joewilly12 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Odell Beckham Jr. Reportedly Wants $20 Million Per Year in New Contract ALEC NATHANFEBRUARY 28, 2018 Chris O'Meara/Associated Press Odell Beckham Jr. is reportedly eyeing a new contract that will pay him north of $20 million annually on average. Appearing on NFL Network's Up to the Minute on Wednesday, Mike Garafolo disclosed Beckham wants to become the highest-paid receiver in the league. "I know that Odell Beckham has told some people that he wants some really significant numbers," he said. "... It's not gonna be top quarterback money, because top quarterback money is going through the roof. "... He's in the 20s. From what he has told people close to him, he wants to be in the low 20s." Garafolo added he "[doesn't] see any way" the New York Giants could appease that demand. The 25-year-old will earn $8.4 million in the final year of his rookie deal next season. If Beckham gets his wish from the Giants, or some other team, he will instantly reset the wide receiver market. Pittsburgh Steelers wideout Antonio Brown is currently the highest-paid receiver on an average annual basis at $17 million, with Houston Texanspass-catcher DeAndre Hopkins ($16.2 million) right behind him among players not signed to the franchise tag. As far as guaranteed money is concerned, Hopkins ranks No. 1 ($49 million) among receivers. The Atlanta Falcons' Julio Jones ($47 million), Dallas Cowboys' Dez Bryant ($45 million), Denver Broncos' Demaryius Thomas ($43.5 million) and Cincinnati Bengals' A.J. Green ($32.7 million) round out the top five. In four NFL seasons, Beckham has tallied 313 receptions for 4,424 yards and 38 touchdowns. Brown, Hopkins, Doug Baldwin and Mike Evans are the only other playerswith at least 300 catches, 4,000 yards and 30 receiving scores during that stretch.

JoJoTownsell1 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 This is great. If they give it to him, they will kill their cap and if they don't give it to him I am sure some team will. We are looking at franchise tag city (when his contract is up) which isn't cheap (around 15 million). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionelRichie Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 4M base + 1M per game active roster bonus seems fair. If he stays healthy he should get paid. He won’t take the deal but I would do it in a heartbeat if I’m NYG. The problem they face is that Odell wants garaunteed money but is always hurt. How do your price that?

Bleedin Green Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 There is perhaps no player in the NFL today who deserves to be trusted with money less than him. He's batsh*t ******* crazy and a constant never-ending problem throughout his career. NFL has proven time and again, those guys are best served spending a short amount of time with a team before wearing out their welcome and moving onto the next one, pretending to be a decent person for a couple of years with the new team before the next inevitable meltdown. Regardless of talent, he's a guy who in absolutely no way deserves a long-term investment, because it is guaranteed to blow up in the team's face. For whatever reason this is all the more prevalent among WRs, and why you've seen the extremely talented but mentally unstable likes of TO, Moss, and our recent buddy Marshall be kicked around the league throughout their careers. Add injury prone on top of that, and a big contract with guarantees would be a sucker's bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNuuFaaolaExperience Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 If I was an elite player in the NFL, I would want a contract that pays me well, but doesn't hurt the team. Paying 20 million a year for a WR who has been hurt for a significant part of his career doesn't help the team. I would want adequate guaranteed money with escalators that kick in with things like league MVP and Super Bowl rings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps not, but pretty much everyone in the NFL not named Goodell has shown time and again to be more accepting of players' legal issues than locker room troubles. In the end, it's the latter that is a day-to-day problem for the team and players, and carries it's way onto the field. I have no interest in defending the idiocy of Richardson or Anderson at all, but the reality is the NFL has made those situations much easier to deal with, considering the league drops the hammer themselves, and it's often quickly forgotten unless it becomes repeated legal problems. It's no different than any job really, no matter how big of piece of crap someone is in their personal life, if it doesn't make it's way into the office, no one is really going to know or care. It's the one who is causing constant problems in the office itself that is going to make a lot more enemies that can ultimately cost them their job. Don't get me wrong, there's lots of completely different reasons that players could be simply not worth the investment from their team. I just happen to think Beckham falls within one or more of those categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can be a media distraction for management but the dude plays hard and has a passion for the game. I wonder how much its affecting the guys in the locker room. The one thing that would concern me is who is after Manning. Say what you want about Eli but he has no fear to throw the ball down the field. Imagine OBJ with a project QB or journeyman. He may loose his mind! lol All options should be explored. What would OBJ bring in a trade scenario? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would OBJ bring in a trade scenario? are there any #s to back that up? since OBJ has been in the league I rarely see him catch the ball downfield. it's mostly taking short/intermediate passes and turning them into long gains. Eli isn't afraid to throw anywhere which is why he throws so many INTs but Beckham would have had similar production w/ any QB. He's that good.

bla bla bla Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 If I were him I wouldn't touch the field without an extension. I don't like the idea of paying him or any WR that much but he is everything to that team. I have no idea what I'd want to do if I were a Giants fan, you either pay stupid money to him or you trade/let walk the greatest WR NY has ever had.

He's going to want probably a 5 year deal worth 100 million. Fitz was on a one year deal. That's a big difference. But imo there is too much baggage with this guy to pay him that much and esp guarantee him much of it. But if you give Cousins 30 mil per and guarantee it all the guy has a point. But if me I would get rid of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you give Cousins 30 mil per and guarantee it all the guy has a point. But if me I would get rid of him. Well he is a top WR. I'd say Brown is better, but still salaries always increase, I'd give him 18 or 19 mil per. Just not too much guaranteed. He is a bit of a nutcase. But he also has to find a team he'd fit into. Right now the Jets qualify. We have the cap space and don't spend much at WR. Re Fitz... ha, you know you were so wrong that summer we argued back and forth. Jets should have offered like 6mil and said take it or leave it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 12 mil total coming off of a good year wasn't crazy. And now some of you want to give Cousins not a great Qb at least 100 mil and most if not all guaranteed. I'd rather sign someone like Bradford to a one year deal and draft a Qb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather the top 6 rookie QBs. But even Cousins at 30mil for 5 years isn't bad. Only way to make a Cousins deal bad would be guaranteeing more than 3 years.

It was announced that Bradford's knee is a degenerative problem. He'll always be a huge injury risk. Can't see any team investing large money in him. It's either low pay backup or retirement for Bradford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d wanna sign him as the highest paid WR at like 18 a year. He’s as good as it gets. Yeah he’s nut job but a nut job that gives you record breaking numbers and changes the game when he’s on the field. I’d just make sure to structure it carefully.

Yea they could give him a bunch of money in year 2020 after Eli comes off the books. Guy is a legit freak, I feel like Moss and TO were really the last players to wow me the way he does.

k-met57 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 he can certainly ask for whatever he wants lol coming off serious knee surgery the giants aren't dumb enough to play his game. they will trade him next year, because they are too smart to pay a WR that kind of money.
