though they're not really a contender at this point but I'm
told as the forty nine as the Seahawks at the saints three
preferences Frodo Beckham junior
waved officially today by the Browns
the waiver period expires tomorrow at four PM eastern
presumably serene by the time we're on the air will have
a chance to talk about whether or not Odell Beckham was claimed
on waivers
the lions have said
they're not going to do it they have did this because
as often is the case of the worst team in the NFL
the saints aren't gonna do it because they don't have the cap
space roughly a third of the league has the cap space to
take on the seven point two five million financial
commitment
and I haven't seen any reports of teams
desperately moving to shuffle space around I guess they could
do it tomorrow move space tomorrow and then have
the space to absorb the contract if they claim him on waivers and
maybe they would even have to do until Wednesday maybe would
have to be until four PM eastern
on Wednesday that they have to have everything lined up
but %HESITATION there are a lot of teams of fall in that
category
I can't wait to see whether or not somebody claims of because
the more he seems to pressure
the non contenders
they may want him to not take him
the more inclined I think someone is going to be to say
Hey %HESITATION del you don't make the rules will take if we
want to
it would be interesting if someone took him and then what
his decision would be do you show up to you not show up how
do you handle this because obviously the trade deadlines
passed and they would have to cut him at that point for him
to play this season
so this is very intriguing Mike and I don't know that we've
seen one quite like this with the contract restructured and
then we're going to cut you and your coming free and we know
that the Browns don't want him to go
to go to the AFC but particularly to anybody in that
division it doesn't look like anybody in that division is
going to be interested or he's going to be interested in them
but what if one of those teams within their own division
claimed and that would be even more intriguing
well that's absolutely right and Hey I I
someone was texting me last night saying that that these
teams out there there you look at the empty seats like
the Jaguars would be a great team out how many empty seats ahead
yesterday but your team that's moving in the right direction
in their mind they get a big win over buffalo the feeling
good about themselves
could they use auto back in June to have the cap space got
twenty seven million
in lingering caption base right now you can crunch the numbers
and try to figure out whether or not you can offset whatever
it's going to cost you to pick up Odell Beckham junior
contract by way of what you'll make
and it gives you a buzz it gives you visibility will be
talking about the Jaguars for a while we're gonna be more
interested in the Jaguars next game if they have them
I'm not I'm not saying that they will do it
but you could easily make the argument if you're team
and they're all in the entertainment business
if you're a team that is looking
to get people interested in you
to buy tickets to your games
to pay attention to your team
you can easily make the argument to do it and the other
side of the coin to is whatever arguments and come up with from
sound football purposes as to why it wouldn't be a good idea
to do it dysfunctional teams do dysfunctional things
so you're thirty one teams out there obviously the Browns are
going to claim him on waivers B. R. thirty one teams
one out of thirty one is all it takes
and he does not get to become a free agent
and I won't be surprised if someone takes insurance
what might and as you pointed out a million times owners most
owners in the NFL their number one priority is to make money
their number two priority is to win
if you want to make money and your team like Jacksonville and
you want to sell tickets and create buzz and sell out your
stadium something that you haven't done that's one way to
do it and if the if he shows up and plays for you he's going to
have a choice whether
to to not play and not make
salary from that team or
or he can show up implying so then that would be in his
corporate if he shows up and plays you're going to sell
tickets you're going to create buzz teams are people are going
to be talking about you
and by the way he would help probably whatever team he goes
to particularly the Jaguars who are are down at receiver
because of injuries
yep well it's gonna be a fun day and we'll see and we'll see
if anything leaks as to who may have claimed you know it's it's
not like
it's not like a draft where the lines are up and then the next
team is up in the next time is up everybody puts in their
claim yes or no nobody knows who puts in claims until
we find out who gets Odell Beckham junior used to be they
would say the other teams to put in a claim that would be on
the official transaction port they stopped doing that six or
seven years ago
but sometimes the league will hand to one of the reporters who
who happen to be on the league payroll
who else made claims because Hey it's good for clicks and views
at NFL dot com and on NFL network if we know
who all made a claim for Odell Beckham junior
I'll put the over or under
at number of teams
to make a claim for Odell Beckham junior out one point
five are you taking the over who were the under
well I'm gonna take the under because that means he could
still get claimed out one and then not get claims so I double
up there I think
I'll go with the over just for fun
okay and %HESITATION we'll see we'll see tomorrow who wins
unless
I lose then I may just kind of forget to mention it because
you know there's a lot going on sometimes you just can't
mention every single thing that happens
