Rams Ex Odell Beckham Jr. Asking Von Miller About Buffalo Bills Locker Room
NFL free agency has become a game within a game. And even for some, a "tease'' of the game within the game.
So it is with Odell Beckham Jr., who isn't yet ready to play for an NFL team. ... but who seems to be enjoying the soap-operatic nature of his free agency.
Beckham, who is currently rehabbing from an ACL injury, is one of the most talked-about free agents on the market. And if there is a moment when he isn't being "talked-about''? He'll do some of the talking himself.
As a result, the rumor mill began to heat up when a social media exchange between him and his former Rams’ teammate — and current Buffalo Bills linebacker Von Miller took on the topic of his playing future.
“What’s the locker next to u loook like !!!??” - @obj writes to Miller.
This follows Bills Hall of Fame wide receiver Andre Reed, who is adding to the talk.
“How would OBJ look in Red, White and Blue?,'' Reed wrote on social media last weekend. "Him and Von runnin' it back in Buffalo. Let's just say we had a good convo last night in Atlantic City.”
The two big-name wideouts from two different generations were in attendance at a sponsor party, and Reed is certainly hinting that the subject of "Beckham the Bill'' was broached.
As Beckham continues to rehab from offseason ACL surgery, it might be late into the NFL season before he is able to play again. However, his late-season arrival in Los Angeles last season helped the Rams win the Lombardi Trophy. Beckham Jr. last year regained his superstar-level form while on the big stage.
In the NFC Championship, he caught nine passes for 113 yards in the Rams’ 20-17 comeback win over the San Francisco 49ers. In the Super Bowl, he had two receptions for 52 yards and one touchdown before exiting the game against the Cincinnati Bengals in the first half after sustaining the injury.
Los Angeles - led by Miller, the ex-Ram now in Buffalo - defeated the Bengals 23-20, and there has been a lot of talk from the Rams and from Beckham about him returning there to win big. But now, thanks to gossip generated by those involved in the soap opera, as the Bills fight their way through training camp now (literally, right, Josh Allen?) we can have some of the same win-big conversations about the Bills and OBJ.
The Rams and Bills are set to square off in the season-opener on Sept. 8 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
