AFC powerhouse emerges as prime destination for Odell Beckham Jr.
`Odell Beckham Jr. is one of the top wide receivers available in free agency. One AFC team is rumored to be interested in bringing him on board. According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Buffalo Bills have inquired about the three-time Pro Bowler.
Beckham Jr. had dinner at Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen's house during the recruitment process last year, per Schultz.
Last season, the Bills were one of three teams to have had a meeting with the 30-year-old. The New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys were the other two. However, Beckham Jr. decided not to sign with Buffalo and stayed a free agent.
He recently held a private workout in Arizona in front of a number of teams, including the Bills.
The former LSU star played in 14 games for two different teams in the 2021 season. He started the season with the Browns but was released after six games In November, the wideout signed with the Rams for the remaining eight games of the season.
Odell Beckham Jr. caught two passes for 52 yards and a touchdown in the Rams' victory in Super Bowl 56 over the Cincinnati Bengals. Unfortunately for him, the 2014 AP Offensive Rookie of the Year suffered an ACL injury in the second quarter of the game.
Mike Florio reported that the talented receiver was looking for $20 million a year in his next contract. Beckham Jr., though, quickly refuted Florio's report. The market for the Super Bowl-winning wideout is heating up as the Buffalo Bills aren't the only AFC East team looking to add Beckham Jr.
Could Odell Beckham Jr. become a New York Jet?
Earlier this month, it was reported that quarterback Aaron Rodgers had drawn up a wishlist of players ahead of his move to the New York Jets.
The former Rams star's name is supposedly on that reported wishlist. Nothing is set in stone though, as the Jets are just one of several teams in the Odell Beckham Jr. sweepstakes.
It seems that the former first-round pick is not in a major rush to sign anywhere at the moment.
