OBJ

[RunNGun]

If the Browns end up releasing him would you consider bringing him in? If I'm running the show I would give him an opportunity. With Juju being out he could really help out the WR group. He's also a solid deep threat that defenses have to respect. He may be a distraction, but maybe Tomlin is the right guy to keep OBJ under control.

[Hawkman]

Never! I don’t want him anywhere near our young receivers. He’s AB just not as reliable.

I wouldn't say he's quite AB. Sure, he loves attention, but his off the field antics are nowhere near AB.

[Hawkman]

I wouldn't say he's quite AB. Sure, he loves attention, but his off the field antics are nowhere near AB.

He makes everyone know that he’s not getting the ball enough. He has never cared about “team” or winning. Just as long as he gets his. Again, the answer is, never. And he’s brittle. How often has he been hurt.

[RunNGun]

He's healthy right now. He'd likely only be a Steeler for the remainder of this season, if he did happen to sign.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you don't know him personally, so you saying he doesn't care about winning is an assumption. I actually don't see a whole lot of difference between Juju and OBJ, in terms of personality. One big difference is the cameras are always on OBJ, so everyone has an opinion on him.

I can't argue that it's probably highly unlikely, but it has at least crossed the mind of someone else.

[ETL]

I remember the Steelers scouted him hard before he was drafted. Tomlin may be the only coach in the NFL that may get OBJ to fall in line. If he’s released I’d take a flyer at him.

[Dwinsgames]

he ( IMO ) is perhaps the most over rated player to ever put on a uniform

top it off with his ME personality and antics I wouldnt want him anywhere near my locker room

OBJ always seems to have some sh!t that he needs to get off of his chest…

^ This is a video of all the times OBJ was open and Baker wasn't looking for him, late on the throw, or just flat out threw a shit ball. OBJ is still talented, but he would probably benefit more from a QB with a big arm.

in fairness if I was more likely to throw a pick than a TD to a guy I probably wouldnt be looking for him either ... just sayin

Mayfield has thrown more pics than TDs when targeting OBJ ( 8 picks 6 TDs ) with the lowest TD % ( 3 %) of any QB /WR in the league with 200 or more attempts since 2019


so armed with the above information and I am the QB I am looking somewhere else to deal the football too , its just a good business decision

You act like that's all on OBJ. I'm not saying OBJ isn't to blame either, but it's definitely not one sided. OBJ and Baker have 0 chemistry. That is evident.

That stat is also incredibly misleading. In a minimum of 200 attempts to OBJ, it has been intercepted 8 times. You just made it sound like he's likely to throw an interception every time he targets OBJ. That's ridiculous.

[teegre]

I heard Henry Ruggs is available.

On long drives, he’s known to leave a trail of people on the ground behind him.

(Too soon?)

Run, your getting comical about this. How in the hell are OBGYN and Ben ever going to work together with eight weeks left. “Go long, and I’ll look for you”. I haven’t seen anything from OBGYN in the last two years that shows me he’s any better than the staff of TEs, WRs, and RBs, that we already have. So let’s call it a day. NO

Doesn’t OBJ have a shoulder issue? I heard something in the telecast about him waiting until after the season to have surgery.

They said “AC joint sprain” in one shoulder, but I think they also mentioned a problem (bone spur?) with the other shoulder, as well.

What can I say? I like to argue my point about football. He's an upgrade over James Washington and Ray Ray and will come at a cheap price. Likely? No. Worth a thought? Yes.

Sorry that was my attempt at a stupid joke. Chip on his shoulder…

Nevermind

I hear he can get where he's going really fast.

[86WARD]

I stand by my statement that he’s just not a good WR. He made a great catch (that’s been made by many) and the media wanted to crown him as their “latest darling”. He had a good season but he was never good. Too many drops and really the only things he was catching was the “flashy catch”. Was never, ever in a category with Julio Jones or Antonio Brown. Well below the younger Mike Evans, Stefan Diggs, etc.

So I would call this a hard pass. Of the Browns release him (big if), I think the Raiders or Packers would be the best landing spots for him. Saints too since Mike Thomas is out for good this season.

Speed isn’t the issue. Stopping is.

[Dwinsgames]

I mean if we are gonna sign a guy based on 1 catch from several years ago maybe we can talk Canaan Severin into coming back to the team ?

yes this kid was a steeler for a cup of coffee and never played a snap that I can recall ...

I think him and Clowney are tied for mileage off one play.

He was a weapon at one time but how much he has left is debatable. If you can get him for nothing, look him over, and bounce him if you don't like what you see, why not?

[RunNGun]

That's pretty much my thinking. He can get vertical which is what we are lacking. That's why I think he should at least be considered, if only for the remainder of this season.

[Rotorhead]

Looks like he will be released this week, but I am a solid meh on him. I doubt we will even pursue him honestly, we are not really lacking in WR talent and have a decent one warning the bench with Washington already.

[Dwinsgames]

the Browns just reworked his deal into a signing bonus to enable his release ..... look that team was awfully motivated to get rid of him , if that doesnt sound alarm bells off across the league I am not sure what will

[tube517]

New Orleans will probably get him. They do need a WR. Maybe they can give him Joe Horn's sharpie.

[st33lersguy]

Hard pass. Not like they need him anyway

Agreed. He is living off that one circus catch.

[Mojouw]

I am not a fan of bringing OBJ in. I don't think he does much for this roster.

Interesting thing that gets lost in all the noise of this release is how what OBJ does well (get open intermediate and deep) has just never meshed with what the Browns/Baker do well (short and screen stuff).

Dude needs to go somewhere where he can pair with a big armed QB in an offensive system that likes their deep shots. I bet he would look totally revitalized in a place like Buffalo, Baltimore, Seattle, or something along those lines.

For me, the lesson that I see over and over again, is that NFL FA's sign for the $$$ and just do not think about scheme and system fit. Baker Mayfield and the Browns offense is not good at all the things that got Beckham drafted and that he found success in the NFL doing.

If he would have signed with a system that was aligned with his skills; I suspect he would have flourished. Now his body is breaking down and he has a poor recent track record.

[steelreserve]

1. with what money

2. we got receivers out the butt

[DesertSteel]

I see him going to the Packers, Raiders, Rams or Chiefs. For mostly obvious reasons.

Yeah, just throw away his 5 1,000 yard seasons. They didn't mean anything. Granted, he hasn't produced much as of late, but that should also make him very affordable.

[Dwinsgames]

1000 yards isnt a great season any longer ..... its a good season thats it ... its the passing era and more games now than when it was the gold standard ..

we dont play 12 games anymore , we dont play 14 games any more and we no longer play 16 games at some point fan bases have to adjust the numbers to what they really mean and quit using the diluted old standard of 1000 yards rushing and or receiving when the season is now 45% longer than it was when those numbers where coined as Milestones ..

his first 3 years were very good years since then he has mustard a couple good years but also 3 seasons that he didnt put up 320 yards ..

he got paid as if he was the best in the game when he was never really close to that and again his attitude makes him less valuable than league min to me , granted that is to me and I dont have much if any influence on NFL franchises but if I did I wouldnt touch this cat

[HollywoodSteel]

It’s all probably a moot point. We’re somewhere in the 20s on the waiver wire. The Lions could claim him and it’s all over.

[DesertSteel]

From Cleveland to Detroit!! If that happens, he must've done something terrible to a preacher's daughter.

Well, if that's true he better get to one of those teams fast because the clock is ticking on his career.

FWIW, My theory is that dude can count. Knows the Browns gotta either pay Baker or another QB. He's an obvious place to go for cap $$$. Also knows, for whatever reason, he's not making splashy plays in Cleveland. So he's gonna need another contract. Wants big money. Doesn't have big money recent tape. So he engineers his way out. Puts #1 WR plays out there and gets that last big contract.

If so, I get it.

Well, he's treading water in Cleve. If he wants to look back on his career as anything more than a lot of noise he's got to move now.
