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. |

Re: OBJ to Saints... anyway?
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. |

Re: OBJ to Saints... anyway?
So how did the Rams sign him if they are that low on the waiver wire?

Re: OBJ to Saints... anyway?
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... |
