    Odell signed with Rams for $750,000 will only end up getting around $35,000

    Crazy

    If he held it, Darren Rovell has no F%Cking idea what O'Dell did with the Bitcoin.
    These reporters create news that isn't really there a lot of the time. Really nice work

    If Rams come close to winning the superbowl this year like they are doing now and he is a big part of it his stock will balloon again come off season. He's catching balls last I checked in these playoffs..

    Mcafee is hilarious. AJ Hawk is the best part of the show. That guy is hilarious and doesn’t even try to be funny. AJs story about his piranha was legendary.

    Getting away from Mayfield and Cleveland was the best career move he has ever made. He’s having a really nice playoff and is definitely boosting his stock up.

    Rovell obviously has no clue how taxes work.

    Plus didn't OBJ already get paid from Cleveland? 750k is a drop in the bucket with his salary.

    Crypto.com also gave him a million bucks for the advertisement. Darren conveniently failed to mention that

    even if he held it and is still holding it, he still hasn't lost anything yet

    And it all depends on when he got paid. If he hasn't gotten paid yet, then he'll just get more in BTC. If he got paid the day he joined the Rams, how would Rovell know he hadn't sold it or exchanged it for other coins/investments. Just lazy journalism for clicks.

    I think he got 500k bonus

    then the 750k would get split into weekly or biweekly salary checks

    I know he got paid 4+ million from the Browns as a settlement plus whatever salary he earned from them for the first half the year.

    he could also have earned over 3 million more in bonuses from the Rams for performance. I bet he hit some of it

    They pay him weekly. They didn't give him all the money on first day.

    I agree. Did he call ODB and ask him? No. O'Dell could have just as easily sold the bitcoin at 50K.
    Rovell should have stock with stocks and bonds
