I think OBJ was always on his way out, claiming to want to keep him was posturing. PIT was handcuffed when dealing AB.Back in August 2018 the Giants signed OBJ to a 5 year, $80 million extension - included in that money was a $20 million signing bonus. Then at the combine their GM said "We didn't sign Odell to trade him." Still, the rumors were out there.
13 days after the trade denials, they have traded arguably the best receiver in the league to Cleveland for a first round draft pick, a 3rd round draft pick and 23 year old safety Jabrill Peppers.
It might be worthwhile listening to New York local sports radio today. I'm sure the Giants fans are fucking pissed, and the Jets fans are ecstatic.
I also thought it was only a matter of time before Earl Thomas signed with Dallas.
he just signed with Baltimore.
