While there is no clear indication of where the 2021 Super Bowl winner is headed, the internet is rife with speculation.
Will Odell Beckham Jr. go to the Rams?
Currently, at 3-3, the Los Angeles Rams don’t seem to be at their best. When asked about wanting to see OBJ back in LA, Rams’ Matthew Stafford was affirmative. On the flip side, Beckham spoke of the Rams in the past tense in a tweet.
LA knows where I wanted to be… but they didn’t offer me…. ANYthing! So idk what people want me to do, I def kno my worth and what the offer was isn’t reflective of that. So it’s tough to say that I can come on back even tho I thought I finally found that home !

This might be an indication that the receiver no longer is looking at the Rams as a contender. Initially, most fans assumed that the receiver would be interested in being retained by the Rams, especially after their success last season.
But, Beckham might be looking for a lucrative contract that the Rams may not be able to give him. Head coach Sean McVay has stated that Beckham is aware of the team’s intentions.
Stirring the trade rumor pot
Interested teams are most likely to sign a multi-year deal with the receiver, given the fact that he has missed most of the 2022 season.
