With his return now seen as imminent, attention is increasingly being paid to Odell Beckham Jr. The free agent wideout represents a potentially sizeable addition for contending teams, especially those which were unable to acquire pass-catchers before the trade deadline. 
A number of potential suitors have been reported in recent days and weeks. The list of landing spots was topped throughout the offseason by the Rams, but other NFC teams including the Packers and Vikings have shown interest as well. A reunion with the Giants – the team with which the 30-year-old spent the first five years of his career – could be in play as well. In the AFC, the Bills and Chiefs have been the source of varying reports of pursuit.
When speaking on the Complex Sports podcast recently, Beckham specifically named four teams while discussing his next destination: the Bills, Packers, Giants and Cowboys (video link). “Whether it’s Buffalo, Green Bay calling, the Cowboys, [a] reunion with the Giants, I want to [spend] these next three or four years in a place I can call home,” he said – a reference to his desire for a multi-year contract, as opposed to his short-term stint with the Rams last year.
The Cowboys emerged as a suitor just yesterday, as the team eyes the only major addition it could make at the WR position after no trades could be finalized ahead of the deadline. When speaking to the media today, head coach Mike McCarthy confirmed that Dallas is indeed doing its due diligence on the three-time Pro Bowler.
“I have always been a huge fan of his,” he said, via Clarence Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “All the guys from the New York Giants and Cleveland Browns, all the guys have nothing but great things to say about him. I have always been so impressed with his football playing ability. I have heard so many excellent things about him over the years.”
McCarthy was quick to add, however, that nothing is imminent with respect to a signing – something which could come in the next few days, as Beckham is expected to be medically cleared by the end of the week. A potential bidding war could ensue for his services, considering his production late last year, which would allow him to narrow in even further on his desired landing spot.
This is looking more and more like a rerun of Dez Bryant shopping his services to potential suckers.
Absolutely. DeShaun Jackson cannot keep healthy while playing professional football. Three-game season (if you’re lucky). What team wants to buy multiple years of three games?
Vet minimum for three years with two years guaranteed is on the table. A contender would be paying double vet minimum for the three games. Worked out for the Rams last year.
Three games equals about $350K per game. Which if Jackson could play a full schedule would be about $6 million over 17 games. Sounds about right for high potential short-term rental. Disruptive as heck though. In exchange, for disruption you might get 6 games in one season.
just be a mercenary i cant understand why this guy thinks hes gonna get multi years
Maybe because he is still a top talent in the league, even after an ACL and could upgrade almost every receiver corp in the league. He runs incredible routes and understands defenses at a high level. He opens up the field for other players makers or finds the soft spots for himself to do damage. He is a solid blocker as well. Just a few things every coach in the NFL would want on a long term deal. Just sayin’
oh wow seems like a no brainer then
Everyone is sayin “A ACL” he has now torn up both knees and is 30 years old… someone may be desperate enough o not only add him to their roster but keep him off another contenders roster that they will give him a 2 year deal which would really be a season and a half. I just don’t know about anything more than that.
How can you say he’s still a top talent even after ACL? He’s still rehabbing.
Old and coming off back to back years of major left knee injuries. Not a GM in his right mind out there that will offer him a multi year deal. From here out, Desean (SP?) Jackson 2.0
I say Colts or Cowboys or Steelers
Won’t be the Colts or Steelers
Imagine Beckham going to play with a team that has Sam Ehlinger at QB and an interim head coach who’s never coached above the high school level.
Home is a good place for him
Beckham with the Two Bad Knees is coming back cos he really needs the money. When he signed with the Rams he announced he would have his Rams salary paid in bitcoin. Crypto has crashed — hard — and that has put Beckham in the red for a serious amount.
