O-B-Jet? Rams Champion Odell Beckham Jr. Meeting with New York
In this story:
Is Beck in the New York groove?
In a development first reported by Josina Anderson of CBS Sports, New York Jets got a bit of an early Easter egg on Saturday, as former Los Angeles Rams receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is set to visit with the team after the holiday weekend.
Beckham has not appeared in an NFL uniform since he capped off an inspiring run to Super Bowl LVI for the Rams, one punctuated by scoring the first touchdown in the win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Any Beckham deal will likely rely on intensive medical examinations, as he did not play during the 2022 season due to ACL surgery.
Such medical uncertainty did not prevent Beckham from drawing interest from several teams, including the Rams, Dallas Cowboys, and New York Giants, among others. Beckham spent the first five years of his career with the Giants, the Jets' co-tenants at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
Armed with several young talents that generated an unexpected playoff push (i.e. Sauce Gardner, Breece Hall, Garrett Wilson), the Jets have been long linked to Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who expressed his desire to suit up for Gang Green earlier this offseason.
While questions would linger with any Beckham deal, his arrival would give New York an undoubted top target who knows how to win at the game's highest level. Beckham reportedly appeared on a list of Rodgers' desired free agents, one that also included newly-minted Jet and former Green Bay teammate Allen Lazard.
