This has to be the most shocked I've been at a move... in any pro sport in some time. I did not think this would actually happen.  I cannot fucking believe the Giants actually just traded Odell Beckham Jr!  I know there had been rumors that the Giants were sick of Odell, but after signing him to a 5 year extension less than a year ago I was not expecting him to get the ole Blake Griffin treatment. 


Not really too sure of what the G-men are doing? but tbh it pisses me off.  I cannot stand the Giants for obvious reasons. It is so g damn annoying that they have been frankly a joke franchise for the better part of 20 years with the exception of 3 good months of football highlighted with Super Bowl wins at the Patriots expense. It's so frustrating. They are a joke, but also have the ultimate trump card over the greatest dynasty ever. And you throw in the NY-Boston shit. They went fucking 9-7 and won a Super Bowl.  God damnit I'm not picking the scab right now...

Let's just focus on the trade.


Honestly wtf is this organization doing? I'm no econ major, but this doesn't seem like a good use of resources.

The #Giants will carry $16 million in dead money on their 2019 salary cap for the deal they did a little over 6 months ago with Odell Beckham Jr., who got a $20M signing bonus. They'll gain $5M in cap space.

Gettleman: We didn’t sign Odell to trade him.

While I am in the school of thought that elite, play-making, dynamic WR are not essential for winning a championship---they for sure help.  And imo a 1st, 3rd and low key position-less draft bust are simply not enough return for someone like Odell. 

As for the Browns?

Dude, they are gonna be a prob-lem this year. Look at this offense. I totally forgot about Kareem Hunt!

QB Baker Mayfield

RB Nick Chubb
RB Kareem Hunt
RB Duke Johnson

WR Odell Beckham Jr
WR Jarvis Landry
WR Antonio Callaway

TE Dave Njoku

With the Steelers imploding and the Ravens letting their entire defense walk, and the Bengals being the Bengals, it looks like the AFC North could be the Browns for the foreseeable future. I still don't love their choice for HC, but with this talent and youth on offense the Browns are going to be a fun ass team to watch yet again in 2019. Landy and Odell. I didn't even realize they were college teammates when they were playing. Who tf was the QB then? I do not remember LSU from 6 years ago, sorry.

​It's wild to think the lowly Browns could be the team to unseat the Patriots as kings of the AFC. What a story that would be from 0-16 to Super Bowl.  After breaking news that the Chiefs just traded Dee Ford you never know? Browns fans sure do have a lot to be excited for. I'm sure nothing crazy will happen to ruin it.
