OBJ to Saints... anyway?

That's why I'm not high on the guy personally. I know everyone loves the prospect of him in a Sainta uniform because he's talented and he's LSU alum. But the dude has serious issues. We already have a diva on the team (although he isn't playing right now). Having 2 would be a headache. And OBJ seems less a team player and more a me player.

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I think this guy is too much risk for the reward. I could be wrong. I just wish he wasn't so douchy.

Don't need another crackhead roaming the streets of New Orleans.

I can't wait for the announcement to be made. He's coming home. I'm professing it into the universe.

Sean Payton loves that stuff though. He loves having players who others would deem headcases. Somehow he connects with them.

I would rather see him in a Saint's uniform than see him line up against us. Tell him to reject any waiver claim unless it's the Saints.

Well, it looks like we may not know anything about OBJ until Monday after 4:00 PM. Teams have until then to place a waiver claim.

Do players have the right to reject waiver claim in NFL? If so, did not realize that. I think in MLB they don't have that right (unless maybe a players has enough service time). I suppose the Lions or Texans of the world, places he likely wouldn't want to go, might potentially claim him?

I don't think so. OBJ has said if claimed by a team that he does not wish to play for he'll just refuse to report.
