The problem, though, is right now OBJ isn't the same player we saw playing for the horns in the playoffs. He tore up his knee. They have tried to fix it. It might get him all the way back to where he was 4 months ago or maybe he doesn't make it back. Maybe he's even better. Nobody knows. 7 mil for an unknown is a huge gamble. It could be worth it. McSnead are gamblers. But, it's impossible to argue against the risk.
FWIW, every report I’ve read said that the surgery went beautifully, in fact, these Ram approved surgeons cleaned up some stuff that was sorta botched in the original surgery. IOW, he might come out of this better than he ever was last year from a physical pov.
