The wide receiver last played in the NFL in last season’s Super Bowl against the Cincinnati Bengals. He helped the Los Angeles Rams lift the Vince Lombardi trophy but hurt his ACL in the process. OBJ has been a free agent since then.
The Rams want to sign him back after last season’s heroics. But he may not be going there if his last month’s statement is anything to go by.
“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 !” He had tweeted last month.
This leaves the door open for other suitors like the Buffalo Bills, the Dallas Cowboys, and the Green Bay Packers.
