Rams or Bills for Odell Beckham Jr.? Skip Bayless believes the choice is easy for WR
Free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. most recently played for the Los Angeles Rams and won his first Super Bowl with the team this past February. In the same game, he, unfortunately, tore his ACL and exited the game after scoring the first touchdown of the contest.
He became a free agent at the conclusion of the season and is still unsigned through the first six weeks of the season. OBJ is waiting for his knee to fully heal before he joins a team.
Undisputed analyst Skip Bayless thinks that the best team for Odell Beckham Jr. to be in is the same team he was with before this season - Los Angeles Rams.
Bayless said:
"He belongs in LA. He's either New York or LA, and now it's LA. He's got a home in Beverly Hills. He got a family, and he loved it, in that offense playing for that quarterback, and especially for that coach. Yes. Okay. So I realize they're struggling. But when you say, well, Odell is ring chasing well, he already got around. He did that. It's done. It's over. So all he wants to do is play in a place that he loves, Los Angeles, California, right for a coach that he loves."
Bayless added that the team even kept his locker and that he's in a perfect situation whereas the weather is starting to get cold in Buffalo.
"Rams coach, Sean McVay, okay, so it's perfect. And all he's saying is you're insulting me. They're insulting you because we don't believe you. Yeah, it's like we don't want to bid against ourselves because we don't want to play anywhere. But here they kept his locker, you know. The weather has turned in Buffalo, New York, and it's cold and it's, I don't know."
.@RealSkipBayless on Von Miller campaigning for OBJ to join the Bills:
"It's highly possible that Von is becoming OBJ's agent and creating a 'bidder' so it helps move the Rams' pathetic offer and jumpstarts renegotiations." https://t.co/gl2wfNyLK0
Odell Beckham Jr. said that the Los Angeles Rams gave him a low offer
While Skip Bayless thinks Odell Beckham Jr's most ideal spot is with the Rams, it seems like the current Super Bowl champs aren't on his list of teams he could sign with this season.
Beckham Jr. tweeted last week on October 12 that the Rams gave him a low offer to return to the team.
"LA knows where I wanted to be… but they didn’t offer me…. ANYthing! So idk what people want me to do, I def kno my worth and what the offer was isn’t reflective of that. So it’s tough to say that I can come on back even tho I thought I finally found that home!"
Some teams that Beckham Jr. is reportedly interested in are the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens, and Green Bay Packers.
It'll be interesting to see where Odell Beckham Jr. lands, but we can expect to see him sign with a team in the coming weeks.
