Odell Beckham Jr. remains in the unusual position of being one of the most talented free agents still available, yet one without a significant market at the moment. As he continues to recover from a torn ACL, much will depend on his health at the start of the season in determining where he plays in 2022.

The Rams remain the team most closely linked to the 29-year-old, given his performance late in the regular season and during their Super Bowl run after acquiring him. Since he won’t be available by Week 1 of the upcoming season, though, the team has confirmed that there is a lack of urgency for all parties involved in making a reunion official.
Still, Los Angeles remains “optimistic” that a deal will eventually get done, per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler (via Bleacher Report). Given how deep into the fall the three-time Pro Bowler will be upon his return to full health, Fowler adds that Beckham could choose to remain on the open market into the start of the season and “take his time” in making a decision on where to sign. In that event, injuries or other circumstances could bring teams not currently in need of pass-catching help into consideration for him.
The Rams have also prepared themselves for life without Beckham, having signed Allen Robinson to pair with the recently-extended Cooper Kupp. Considering the number of pieces on their roster which will return in 2022, though, they are likely to contend for another Super Bowl, something Fowler states will “likely” be Beckham’s top consideration when deciding where to sign. If he were to go back to L.A., the LSU alum would be well set-up to replicate his impressive performance with Matt Stafford and the Rams’ offense.
Other veteran wideouts, including Julio Jones, remain on the open market, so their ultimate destinations could play a role in determining Beckham’s next NFL home as well. Even after the offseason is complete, though, the question of where he will be suiting up may very well remain unanswered.
Yawn…
I’d enjoy OBJ or Julio in Minnesota to slot next to Jefferson and Thielen.
Bet he doesn’t take payment in Bitcoin this time around. I jumped on that wagon with just a small amount of money – it was fun while it lasted! Not so much when it’s lost all its value…
“lost all its value”, hahaha. Meanwhile ONE coin still sits above $20k
Maybe he’ll take payment in cannabis stock or GameStop shares next time.
He’s a drama queen
Another report claiming to be the latest that offers no new insight on a situation. Here’s a wild idea. How about holding off on the updates until you actually have something to tell.
This is called Pro Football Rumors not Pro Football Facts
There is another wild idea called selective reading. Is someone holding a gun to your head insisting you read each and every article?
For a guy who can’t play for the majority of the season, his possible destinations sure dominate chatter. Good receiver but not sure what he offers for this coming season
so what’s the rumor then?
There isn’t any reason to rush into a decision on this. He can’t play until later in the season so all he has to do is sit back and see what team is healthy and winning. Don’t rush a Rams signing and then week 2 Stafford is gone with a knee injury. Then OBJ is gonna sit there and give a Homer Simpson…..DOH!!!!!
