No he still has 2 years. He was a rookie in 2017.

Honestly, I don't see a problem with dumping Odell and getting max value for him. They need so many pieces and stockpiling picks is the best way to retool quickly, I think. The whole Eli thing is a little baffling at times but maybe they have their sights on a QB that can watch and learn for a year.
There gonna trade for Rosen and have Eli mentor him for a year.If they were in 'full rebuild' they'd have already cut their QB. That's what some of the media is questioning. If you're going to hit reset then get rid of Eli.
We Rams fans (@Retroram52, @SJ76, et al) are very grateful!!They're still on the hook for a boatload to Ogletree and Janoris Jenkins, who are extremely overpaid players.

Exactly, this is what I was talking about when I said...
If they get their QB this year, they will look back at this if they don't get a #1 WR to fill his shoes. Especially if the Browns, no less, go on to greater things due in part to Junior.
Of the Giants.
I mean they got an incredible offer and they had to pull the trigger.
They are in rebuild mold and everyone knows that.
And lets be honest Odell was a straight up circus show.
I don't get why the media is questioning this move?

I wouldnt complain about Barkley either.
But they didnt even look for an Eli replacement at all last year. Draft. FA, anywhere.
but Eli is throwing to him.They went and signed Golden Tate so they have another weapon. No, he's not ODB but he's one of the best slot receivers in the game.

Hey his streak is already over. Time for them to get over it.Yes I know. Giants fans will go psycho otherwise.

I think they both won in that trade.I feel like I'm the only person who isn't high grading the Browns for this trade. OBJ is a diva, past major injury wideout. The Giants got a promising young safety to replace Collins, and while they aren't going to get anyone at 17th overall that is good as OBJ, they're not in the market for WR anyway (especially after acquiring Tate). They have MORE ammunition to trade up for a QB of their choice, or fill the DLINE in a DEEP defensive line class after trading Vernon. Did everyone forget they traded for Zeitler who should vastly improve the run game and help a young QB?
I thought the Giants won the trade. They are 100% thinking long term where the Browns (which I guess makes sense?) are in 'win now' mode with a 2nd year QB who did look promising, but... I'm NEVER ready to go in on a QB after one year of footage/play. If Mayfield regresses or gets injured, the Browns have mortgaged a good chunk of their future and OBJ will likely cause locker room cancer. Naturally this SHOULD happen since it's the Browns' destiny to fail. I guess I'll be one of the VERY few that can look back and say, "I told ya." when it happens (because it will).

Browns needed a #1 WR. They have a great offense on paper anyways. It completes their offensive puzzle.
The Giants paid all the guaranteed money to Beckham. This year is the only uncuttable year for the Browns as far as dead money goes.
I truly think both sides won in this trade.
well I am one of the few I guess that think the Giants did a smart thing.All fair points. A coworker brought up the exact same point that both teams were winners. I just don't understand the huge, "OMFG WIN BROWNS, FAIL GIANTS!" backlash by various analysts/sites (Walt/ESPN/etc).
