Re: OBJ to Saints... anyway?
 


Ok so now claiming OBJ will come with a 1yr/$7.25 mil contract. We won’t be able to claim him as we would need the cap space first… can’t claim him and then re-work contracts to fit him in.

However, this also greatly increases the chances he goes unclaimed which would work in our favor.

This is different than was reported earlier placing the base salary lower. He may then make it through waivers.

Now I hear this morning that the cap hit for the remainder of OBJ's restructured contract would only be $2.5M. A quick restructure of Thomas' or Lutz's contracts would easily raise that.

OBJ still gets a load of money from Cleveland.
I don't know if he goes on the waiver wire first or he's just a free agent.
I still think it's a temp fix. We won't be able to support his salary next season. SP would make him sit bench and practice until maybe he would appear in playoffs.

So how did the Rams sign him if they are that low on the waiver wire?

Sean usually rewards player loyalty; Winston and Thomas are done for the season and yet still haven't been moved to Reserve, Injured...

That said, it's telling the Saints haven't just gone ahead with the obvious IR designation and promoted PS players to those two spots...

Waiting till the last possible moment to explore all options, even late-developing ones seems like the play here...

Have no doubt among those possible moves is a waiver claim for Odell Beckham Jr...

Why not.

Definitely don't have a WRx that can win matchup; Callaway needs to turn in that No. 1 jersey or turn in better performances...

But with Harris and Stills, that's a very good rotation at the WRz position...
