This isn't madden, the cost for him is extremely high. Not only do you have to give out a top 10 pick(that is someone who could turn into a corner stone, consider that beckham was picked at 12), but also a 3rd or fourth(That would be the equivalent of giving up on a potential up-and-coming player like witherspoon or Kittle). Also, much of our salary cap flexibility, which we need to sign defo, brown, and tartt and possibly anyone else who might break out next year, not to mention any free agents we might want next year. This is for a player who played only four games last year, and who has major attitude issues. So much so that his team is willing to give up on him, as great as he is.
Beckham is great, but not worth the cost of giving up all of that. Sherman and beckham are two completely different situations. We didn't have to give up draft capital to give him, its a super team friendly deal, and he played well before the injury, plus he has been known to mentor young players. Of course the team would probably love to have beckahm, just not at the cost that is being asked. In closing, stop whining.
PS: Generational talent? LOL Julio Jones > Antonio Brown > Odell Beckham
