OBJ to Saints... anyway?

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.

We need a receiver(s) in the worst way. This defense is good enough. The special teams unit is good enough. We don't have a #1 or 2. A game-changer. Mike isn't returning this season. This team is hungry and players desperately want a chance for another crack at the postseason and as we know, ANYTHING can happen on Sundays at this level.

Who exactly do you have in mind this late in the season? Do we hope that these receivers get better with Trevor at the helm? Titans, Cowboys, Buffalo, Bucs 2.0 are real problems & we need all the extra ammo we can get against those teams.

As for Odell goes, I think people on the outside looking in have no idea how strong the locker room & culture is in New Orleans. Ask Emmanuel Sanders, Trey Hendrickson, or Jack Rabbit.

If we are lucky enough (I don't think we will though) to land OBJ, the first sign of nonsense he'd be on the first train smoking.

I graduated from LSU but could care less where he went to college. We need ballers at WR in the worst way.

I know K. His nonsense is just annoying to me.

Look, if he signs, I won't *****. I hope he plays well and gets his head straight. But dude, if he starts his BS and is a complete distraction, starts trashing player or coaches, does his little flip flop temper tantrums, I hope he's shown the door. Quickly. I hate players like that. Especially on my beloved team.

Probably not but Aaron Rogers isn't either.

Not quite sure who will take a chance on him. He’s played for two teams and both pretty much made him out to be a cancer. We’ve come this far without him, why not let the season play out?

They restructured his contract by converting most of it to a signing bonus before releasing him so it is just above league minimum. Pretty much anyone can afford him with a restructure or two of their own.

Great player - Yes
