"We are confident that our group with long-standing esports experience and gaming will bring you an entertaining tournament capped off by the thrill of competing during Super Bowl LVI."

The bye week is over, and although it was a good break for myself as well as all the Detroit Lions players, it's all business as usual starting on Monday.

I'm gaining a head start by returning for our Madden simulator series. It's typical to conduct an Madden simulation on Saturday mornings to see this video gaming series' perspective on the forthcoming Lions game. In the absence of a Lions game on Sunday, I'm going to take some of a new approach to things this week.

Odell Beckham Jr. was one of the biggest news stories of this week after Beckham and the Cleveland Browns decided to part the ways, with his decision to waive his contract expected to be official on Monday. Naturally, considering his position on the Lions team and the No. 1 priority on waivers, many are contemplating if Detroit will be adding him after the waiver claims are processed.

Personally, I think that it's extremely unlikely that taking place. Given how the Browns restructured his contract--eliminating both remaining years on his contract, and not adjusting his 2021 salary--it makes little sense for Detroit. They'd need to create large amounts of capacity space to accommodate him on the roster in the coming season, and they'd not get more than nine games of Beckham (if Beckham doesn't have an argument about his time in Detroit) before becoming a free agent. It's possible to be able to get a compensatory choice out of the deal, but that's in the event that they're not actively on the free market.
