OBJ

[Whatever]

Even with the Rams, he had 593 yards in 12 games (including playoffs). They just force fed him in the red zone to keep him happy so he got some TDs, and that was when he was the 2nd best receiving target on the offense, not the 4th.

He wouldn't be happy being "insurance", and there's absolutely no reason to have Chase, Higgins, or Boyd on the field less to appease him, because they're all better than him. The Bengals do need a guy who will be a productive #4 WR, but they don't need one who will be rocking the boat because he thinks he's a #1 WR.

OBJ is the Yasiel Puig of the NFL. Lots of big success early in a big market that didn't last, but the hype, name recognition, ego, and antics have lasted.

You realize OBJ had more receiving yards in the NFCCG than Tyler Boyd had during our entire playoff run, right?  

He was barely behind Higgins in receiving yards and topped him in total yards despite missing half a game and Tee getting 75 yards on one of the worst no calls in SB history.  

I think folks thinking OBJ would be a WR4 simply aren't being realistic about our WR situation.
