Packers offer Odell Beckham Jr. a veteran minimum contract..

The Green Bay Packers are offering Odell Beckham Jr. a veteran minimum contract to join the team, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Earlier Tuesday, it was reported that Beckham had narrowed his choices down to the Packers, Chiefs, and Saints.

A veteran minimum deal would pay Beckham, now his eighth NFL season, around $500,000 for the rest of the 2021 season.

General manager Brian Gutekunst doesn’t have a ton of money to play with, hence the low offer. Currently, the Packers have a little over $4 million in salary-cap space to operate throughout the rest of the year.

Sean must know how badly we are in trouble if he's going after OBJ.
Historically Sean normally stays clear of the high profile players with baggage.
I'm thinking of two of those category players he took a gamble on Dez and Jeremy.
Jeremy worked out but with Dez we never got to find out.

Um, have you seen our wide receivers?

I think we were going to sign Antonio Brown if not for the fact that he wasn't going to be eligible to play in the playoffs that year. I felt like we should have signed him and just stashed him away until the following year. The thing about these players is, if they start causing trouble you don't have to keep them. You can move on from them whenever you're ready. It's only a problem when they're expensive. AB was going to cost us little to nothing, and OBJ will probably be a cheap rental wherever he goes as well.

Re: OBJ to Saints... anyway?

We are the only team where he would come in and have the opportunity to be the #1 WR. Yeah, he might get more targets or chances with KC but he will always be the 3rd option at best behind Hill and Kelce.

In GB, the 3rd or 4th option behind Adams, Jones, and possibly Cobb due to Cobbs previous work with Rodgers.

Especially with Harris heading towards a 3 game suspension. It is low risk and high reward for us. Otherwise we just ride it out and hopefully finish with a winning season running the ball 65-70% of the plays

One thing I can honestly say for the Coach it's all Saints Football, he seems to be in touch with his players.
Don't normally see a lot of drama swirling around the team. If a player is unhappy or cutting up in a detracting way they usually are out the back door.

Running the ball may be a problem now with AK hurt.
But if OBJ came here he would surely be the Top Gun.
