One of the most high-profile free agents right now, Odell Beckham Jr., has not made a move before the trade deadline. Previously, many news outlets reported that the wide receiver was exploring many teams, including the Bills, the Giants, the Chiefs, and many others.
Earlier, OBJ’s former teammate Von Miller talked about the WR joining the Bills. The linebacker revealed that he had a chat with Beckham Jr. Miller recently appeared on the Pat McAfee show, where he talked about the current scenario of OBJ joining the Bills. However, it could break the heart of many Bills fans.

Von Miller opens up about the possibility of Odell Beckham Jr. joining the Bills
During the McAfee show, Miller said, “I’ve never lied to Odell in my entire life… It’s a tough situation for me because…. he’s not just some colleague around the league that I want to get on my team… I don’t even think blood could make us any closer.“
“Of Course, I want him on my team, and of course, I’m doing everything in my ability to make him feel comfortable with Buffalo Bills but at the same time, I’m his brother too and I want him to make the best decision for Odell and for his son, and for his mom and his family,” Miller further said.
Miller then talked about giving OBJ a perfect recruiting pitch about joining the Bills. He also felt that Beckham Jr. will fit perfectly in their team. However, Miller understands that it will ultimately be OBJ’s decision. And he will do what is best for himself and his family. In the end, Miller is still hopeful that the wide receiver joins the Bills.

“I want him here, of course, I’m still keeping in touch with my guy and it’s just one of those things. The envelope is not sealed until it’s sealed, we just have to wait and see,” the Bills’ cornerback concluded.
Notably, the Bills are one of the top teams this season, in terms of win-loss records (6-1). Going to the Bills will give OBJ a chance to get his hands on the Super Bowl trophy once again. Meanwhile, the Chiefs were eyeing a player, as they adjusted Travis Kelce’s contract in the middle of the season to open a cap space worth more than $3 million. Many experts thought they were going for OBJ; they have yet to make a move.
