I'm reading a headline today in ESPN stating that the trade of Odell Beckham Jr. from the Giants to the Browns is completely inexplicable and represents, at best, a "The Process" situation where the New York Giants are going to be a 4-12 joke the next 3-5 seasons.
Anyone who does not get the nature of this trade has no understanding of one simple fact:
For a very serious, yet undisclosed, reason, the National Football League has a serious problem with Odell Beckham Jr.
It's clear he's a headcase and an on-field problem. It's also clear he's got elite skills.
There are rumors as to what the problem is -- but it's been clear for years that the message to the Giants is one of three things:
Either get him under control, release him, or never be relevant.
And that's why I think they got rid of him -- and, if I'm right, it makes perfect sense.
And Cleveland is a team OBJ will never have to worry about playing a relevant NFL game at.
So, it takes someone not willing to be paid-off or listen to the paid-off narrative, but I think this makes perfect sense: The New York Giants got rid of an NFL problem.
