Rich Eisen warns Odell Beckham Jr. to steer clear of Tom Brady ahead of star WR's return
Tom Brady, a name synonymous with Super Bowls, is dealing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' struggling offense.
Meanwhile, Odell Beckham Jr. is counting down the days until he can return to football. However, one NFL analyst believes the wide receiver should think twice before joining TB12 in Tampa Bay.
Speaking on the "Rich Eisen Show," Rich Eisen explained that there are better options for Beckham than the most accomplished quarterback in NFL history. Here's how he put it
"There's one last big piece that's sitting out there in the NFL that can change a fortune right now and that is Odell Beckham Jr. He's sitting out there. According to reports, he's going to be cleared medically to return this weekend."

He went on to explain that while the chance to play with Brady will be enticing, the former Los Angeles Rams star will have better options:
"Even the possibility of playing with Tom Brady, which is very enticing, one would think. There's just too much else going on. I obviously want to see the Bucs up close and personal this week."
GOD I CAN FEEL YOUR BLESSINGS. THANK YOU FOR THIS LIFE.
Lastly, Eisen explained that the Buccaneers' offense has other issues aside from missing a wide receiver:
"The run game still [needs work and] the protection up front for Brady... We'll find out if that can resonate more, but there might be more sure bets for Odell."
Tom Brady's offense in 2022
In terms of total offense, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are ranked 19th overall.
Through the air, the team is averaging the fifth-most yards per game in the league. However, in terms of points per game, Tampa Bay is ranked 25th. In terms of running the ball, the Buccaneers are ranked dead last.
Wide receiver Mike Evans has had issues with dropped passes this year at critical moments. Meanwhile, Rob Gronkowski is not on the roster after retiring during the offseason.
Some are hoping that if the team can sign Odell Beckham Jr. and string together some wins, Brady might then be able to convince Gronkowski to return for one final run.
However, at 4-5, that would require a lot to go right. Will Odell Beckham Jr. take a chance with Tom Brady or look elsewhere?
