OBJ to the Browns, and more! (NFL)

Imagine my shock at finding out that Odell Beckham Jr. has been dealt to the Browns. After a long, hard day at work, this is the first thing that greets me upon checking the sports feeds. About a week ago, the guys on PTI (Pardon The Interruption) had said that if the NY Giants didn't hold onto OBJ, they would be stupid. Guess what? The Giants' brain trust are officially stupid as of now. You get rid of one of the most talented and arguably best receiver in the NFL for a couple of picks and a safety. This was the second worst move I've seen in the last couple of days.

Suggs to the Cardinals. Okay, this was the worst move. Suggs goes from his longtime team, the Baltimore Ravens, who at least have a good chance at making the playoffs, to the Arizona Cardinals, who will more than likely again finish at the bottom of the NFC West. Said team is a mess, and that's putting it lightly. Suggs must only care about the money at this point in his career, hoping to cash in for the next couple of seasons before he retires. I can't in any way see the Cardinals being competitive for the immediate future.

Foles strikes it rich. Speaking of money, did anyone see the deal that Nick Foles is getting with the Jacksonville Jaguars? Four year contract that is worth $88-million dollars. Signing Foles gives the Jags some instant credibility, but they also need to get him a couple more targets, and a stronger O-line. Foles can put up some good numbers there if everything falls into place. Are the Jags a Super Bowl contender now? I don't think so, not just yet. But....they seem to finally be going in the right direction. All they need to do now is be a smarter football team then they have been.

What a crazy day.
