The One: Rumblings of OBJ to the Bengals

[Whatever]

During his time on the Rams, I don't remember hearing anything about him. Obviously his time in Cleveland was mired in controversy. I don't think this happens - not a lockerroom fit and I am skeptical of his ability after yet another major injury. We also have to remember - there is only one ball to go around. He would be, at best, the fourth option, and rotate in behind Chase. If he takes fourth option money, then it could work but I wouldn't be expecting the OBJ we are all familiar with.

Being fair, OBJ tore it up in the playoffs last year with 316 yards and 2 TD's in basically 3-1/2 games.  So, he did flash some of that elite form last year.

He's not an elite WR1 anymore, but he could realistically fill in competently for any of the Big 3 and our WR depth is horrible right now.  And OBJ vs a LB, S, or #4 CB is still a huge mismatch in 4 WR sets.
