Just In : The unexpected gesture of Odell Beckham Jr that could bring him closer to the Chiefs of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
Odell Beckham Jr remains one of the most naturally gifted wide receivers in the NFL. However, with his ambitions of winning a championship having been fulfilled, injuries and other scenarios have led him down a path whereby he can choose the team he wants to play for on a year-by-year basis.
In 2023 it was the Baltimore Ravens, where he struck up a magical partnership with league MVP Lamar Jackson.
It made the Baltimore offense exceedingly potent, although that level of quality deserted them when it mattered in the playoffs.
Beckham was on a one-year contract in Maryland and can now once again choose his destination as a free agent.
He is looking for the fine balance between money and a chance of success, and the rumor is that the Kansas City Chiefs could offer him both.
What has OBJ done to push himself towards Arrowhead Stadium?
It appears that the former New York Giants star is intent on moving to the Chiefs and linking up with Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
He would add a sensational new element to an offense that is so chameleon-like, you can put virtually anyone in it and it adapts and finds a way to succeed.
In 2023 there were concerns about the number of rookie receivers in the team, and how they continually dropped passes at key moments in the regular season.
