Joe Biden is a top 15 president
Can you reach out to a player during this process or is that tampering?

Like if a team on waiver reached out and was like "hey if we sign you are you gonna be a shithead about it" can you do that

You can.

If his salary is down to a million, then you can just claim him and if he acts like a poo poo, you cut him and it costs you nothing. The funny result would be him going down that line as each team claims and hates him after a few days.

Hawks seem interesting from a football standpoint. The Jags seem interesting from a drama standpoint.

So it'll be the Texans if it's one of those top 10 waiver teams to annoy everyone.

Why would Beckham agree to a reduced salary? There seems like no benefit to him. Surely he'd rather have a salary that either pays him a bunch of money or lets him clear waivers and pick his own team.

Did the Browns only agree to release him if he renegotiated his salary? Is this to reduce their dead cap number?

Based on the reports, it was contingent. If they were on the hook for his full salary no matter what, they'd rather he didn't play for a competitor. So he had to cut it down to get released, but hes hoping it's still big enough that no one will claim him.

Seahawks were at one point so desperate for help they got Josh Gordon. I wonder if they'd be interested, especially with Russ coming back.

They spent a second rounder on wr help, who looked good for half a game before getting his bell rung so bad he still had visual distortions two months later. So yeah I'm guessing they'd take the help if they can get it.

Problem is, Russ is almost as averse to throwing over the middle as Baker is

If he clears waivers I would bet money on him going to the Bucs. He's wanted to play with Brady since his Giant years and I'm sure he'd sign for peanuts to play out the season with Brady on a potential Super Bowl contender, and the Bucs are always happy to pickup another potential toy.

He'd be like the 7th receiving option and probably would have a hard time being active on game days. Tampa won't sign him.

Can't he just tell teams that potentially could claim him, such as the Lions, that he won't play for them if they claim him? I feel like some other players have manipulated the waver wire in some way like this in the past.

Also his QBs in Tennessee were the 2010 versions of Kerry Collins, Vince Young, and Rusty Smith. He wasn’t too bad as a depth guy with the 49ers two years later.

He could. But they lose nothing by trying to claim him and he loses playing time if he forces them to re-waive him.

If they could've gotten OBJ to agree to this restructure, why didn't they do it on Monday when they could've gotten a late round pick for him at least?

That’s my question too. The Saints clearly had interest before the trade deadline. The Browns are going to eat the money anyway, get a draft pick back.

Not a reduction, they're converting most of his base salary into a signing bonus so that the Browns pay it instead of OBJ.

This mostly fucks over OBJ because now a bad team is likely to take a flier on him, but the Browns likely told him they'd just deactivate him for the rest of the year if he didn't.

The Lions should be crafty and claim OBJ so they can trade him to the Saints.

Really he should be suspended for awhile and the Packers organization heavily fined.

What he was doing put every reporter and other person in that organization at risk because they didn't want to make their star QB wear a mask and not be able to go to a halloween party.
