[4th and Long]

He started 6 games last year and played in 14. He caught 35 balls for 565 yards and 3 TDs. He did average 16.1 yards per catch but he had a long of 51 yards, which can skew the numbers. At this stage of his career he can't be consider a game changer, although his numbers were marginally better than MVS last year.

With 10 years in the league, 50% of them were productive, 2014-2016 and 2018-2019. The last productive year was 5 years ago. Contrary to what OBJ most likely has running through his own mind, he's simply not worth any significant amount of money.

Hard pass.

He wants OBJ money like it’s still 2017, no thanks.

Could be Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift in the suite together.

Won't be real til Rickey weighs in. My only hesitation is there are only so many targets. On second thought, what an amazing problem to have after last year.

[RunKC]

Meh. I watched the Ravens game All 22 and Sneed/McDuffie locked him up easily. He is definitely not what he was. Not sure that athleticism is still there.

Definitely doesn’t scare defenses anymore. He was meh aside from 2 or 3 games.

I’d pass if he wants more than $3 million. He’s not appreciably better than Justin Watson at this point. He looks like what he is: a soon to be 32 year old coming off 2 major knee surgeries.

Yep, I'm fine with cheap, but wouldn't want more than say $4m with incentives to $7m, give or take.

Lol, wow, that's just a terrible analysis. In his sleep OBJ is a better WR than JWat. Put the pipe down, sheesh.

Like Stephon Diggs he only watches. Besides we need a scat back not a scat chest

2014-2021 OBJ? Absolutely
2023 OBJ? Absolutely not

Do you guys watch these players or just keep their name from back when they were good? Again the guy is turning 32 and had 2 major knee surgeries. He isn’t anywhere near what he used to be.

You don’t know that. And I highly doubt it.

[Jewish Rabbi]

Would have to be super cheap to make sense

lol, let's think about this:

Which WR can run a full route tree?
Which WR has a decent set of releases/release package?
Which WR knows how to create separation at the top of a route/at the catchpoint?
Which WR can make sight adjustments?
Which WR can read the defensive alignment pre-snap?
Which WR has better hands?
Which WR can track the ball better?

I'll give you a hint: there's only one answer to all the above questions.

The Tyreek Hill thread is still on the front page. Hello

Seemed like he had some games last year where he was upset he wasn't getting the ball, even though the Ravens were absolutely crushing.

Unless he mentally accepts his limited role, that diva/me first attitude might cause some unnecessary drama.

[PAChiefsGuy]

I agree with what others have said - it would have to be a cheap one-year deal. If he is willing to do that, then I don't see why not. He should be able to contribute more than the average WR would.
