Bills Attend Odell Beckham Jr. Workout; Contract Incoming?
The Buffalo Bills have made it clear: they're interested in Odell Beckham Jr.
The three-time Pro Bowl receiver held a private workout in Arizona on Friday, and the Bills were one of multiple teams in attendance, joining the Carolina Panthers, New York Giants, New England Patriots, Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers, Arizona Cardinals, Kansas City Chiefs, New York Jets, Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Minnesota Vikings, per reports from CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathon Jones.
Beckham Jr. teased a potential mid-season signing in 2022, but remained a free agent despite some major hype. The Bills had been rumored as an interested team, and OBJ seemed to share those feelings.
He even teased a desire to sign with the Bills and former Rams teammate Von Miller. The veteran linebacker signed a six-year, $120 million contract with Buffalo this offseason.
“What’s the locker next to u loook like !!!??” - @obj wrote to Miller on Instagram back in August.
However, the biggest asterisk surrounding Beckham Jr., and the reason he's been unsigned for so long, is that he continues to recover from the torn ACL he suffered in the Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams in February 2022. That was the last time he appeared in an NFL game.
In 12 total games with LA (including postseason play), Beckham Jr. totaled 48 catches for 593 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. This included a much-needed performance in a 20-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship, as Beckham Jr. had nine catches for 113 yards.
This is the most recent production the Bills can look at, and it's certainly impressive. Even if it's not in Buffalo, OBJ seems primed to ink a deal in no time, assuming the workout went well.
As currently constructed, the Bills have a talented offense, but adding a name like Beckham Jr. to the equation would secure the team's future at WR2 since Gabe Davis could leave in free agency next offseason.
