It's weird, I can't disagree with the idea that OBJ was really this team's only real deep threat, and the receiving threat that would cause opposing defenses to worry about the most on the Browns. 

But I also can't disagree that, overall, Baker looks better WITHOUT OBJ. 

lol... reminds me of the Truman quote about a one-armed Economist...

I believe I heard based on his contract and when he would be able to pass a physical he’s a Brown unless they trade him.  Not sure what his value would be coming off the injury.  Just another bad Browns front office move.

Fuckin', Sashi...

At least we never missed Zeitler...

Wait... it was not Sashi?

He will have missed 40% of his last four seasons come next year. 

The Browns need to consider if he's someone they can depend on. Not sure what his contract status is, but that's a lot of money for someone who seems to be breaking down.

We have no WR on this roster that can take the top off of a defense

Exactly - OBJ was it, period.

DPJ does inspire fear - in himself that he'll drop whatever is thrown to him. There's no FA out there; Dez was recruited by Ravens for the last 3 years.

by someone stepping into that role

Nobody can. Everyone else is a possession receiver. KhaDarel Hodge [returns to practice tomorrow] may have a top gear but takes 20 yards to get there; JoJo Natson is quick but not fast.

Completely true. BUT, you want us to side with you and the opinion he has been a bad teammate over the ones that are around him?

You don't see how offbeat that sounds?

And Icecube has some kind of vendetta against OBJ. I don't think anyone on here would be able to figure it out. And before he responds, no matter what his intentions are, it comes off as just disliking him, not just that he could conceivably be a bad fit.

And if needed, there are examples of guys changing their spots so to speak in a different location whether that is through play or actions 

If it makes you feel better by thinking Baker can now exhale or Beckham wasn’t a team guy fine...I don’t know if either of those points are or aren’t the case but the point I mentioned first needs to be answered by someone stepping into that role.

https://www.foxbusiness.com/sports/odell-beckham-jr-suffers-season-ending-injury-how-it-affects-his-contract-with-the-browns

The New York Giants traded Beckham to the Browns in 2018. A core muscle injury last year, coupled with a slow start this year and no remaining guarantees on his contract after this season, have left many wondering if the star wide receiver might be traded or cut.

But Sunday night’s injury against the Cincinnati Bengals essentially solidified his place on next year’s roster because of an injury clause in his contract.

According to the NFL Network, Beckham will earn $15.75 million next year – $12.97 million of which becomes guaranteed after an injury. That figure becomes a full guarantee if he’s on the roster by the third day of the league year, which he likely will be if he’s unable to pass a physical at that point – making him “uncuttable.”

A trade would also be unlikely with three years left on his contract coming off a serious injury.

Maybe I have to change my mind maybe you do have a monopoly on stupid. Oh wait no you don’t    ice cube is on here as well. He’s projecting his own obtuseness on to others. The fact is OBJ’s teammates and coaches all thought he was a perfect Lee great teammate. But the two of you know better than they do of course.

@the-gipper said:

No because all of his teammates says he has been a perfect teammate. His coach and say he has been a perfect teammate. The only people that don’t say it are cuntholeslike you

Hmmm, so you've been obtuse your whole life? I am sorry. 

@nickers said:

We're not going to the SB.. This Defense is still too soft...

That it is... but that means we are in shootouts and OBJ was key ammo...

As for distraction... in my mind that was his NYG days. That's when he was doing his best (worst?) impressions of TO onfield.

Since his arrival in CLE not so much... lots of effort by lots of reporters to stir the pot... but not a lot to show for their efforts.

Not to argue, but DPJ sure showed a glimmer of  something special as a rookie. That was truly OBJ like. At least I think so.

Peeps? Not what I am hearing. Some say he seems slow. Perhaps that is off base?
