The Odell Beckham Jr saga is one with many twists and turns. Multiple teams are interested in the services of the explosive wide receiver. The Kansas City Chiefs are one of them. But amid interest from the Super Bowl champions, Aaron Rodgers is hoping to see OBJ in the New York Jets for a special reason.

Rodgers is moving away from the Green Bay Packers after 18 years of brilliance. His hunger to win isn’t over, even if he is shifting allegiances.

Aaron Rodgers wants Odell Beckham Jr at the MetLife Stadium next season. The wide receiver is looking to make a comeback into the NFL after missing out on the entire 2022 season due to an injury. And Rodgers wants the Jets to go for him in free agency. According to Connor Hughes, the 2011 Super Bowl champion is close to OBJ, and he wants to play with the wide receiver next season. 

Rodgers is almost certain to go to the Jets and root for having Beckham at his side. OBJ is part of Rodgers’ wish list for the Jets alongside, and their “very real” interest in him indicates that they are eager to please.

The WR is proving to be quite popular in free agency, as rumors of the Chiefs lurking about in hopes of signing the wide receiver are also revolving around. Some think that Beckham Jr’s move to the Super Bowl champions makes the most sense. But Rodgers wouldn’t want to miss out on getting a prime target to make his upcoming life in New York a bit easy.

The Chiefs are on the hunt for a WR

The Chiefs are looking to find a long-term replacement for Tyreek Hill, who left them last offseason. His supposed replacement JuJu Smith-Schuster impressed the franchise but left for the New England Patriots recently. The slot is vacant again, and there aren’t many better than Odell Beckham Jr to fill it.

Like Aaron Rodgers in the New York Jets, OBJ will get to play with an elite QB in Patrick Mahomes, if the Chiefs do get him. So that might be a great incentive to turn red and white. But his closeness to the four-time NFL MVP might give the Jets an edge. OBJ hasn’t played football in over a year. So a long-term contract might be a little difficult at the moment. But if any team can be bold enough to shell out some big bucks and bet on the WR, it might be enough to convince him. So where do you think he will land up next season?
