The Minnesota Vikings may find themselves very lucky this season. 2021 Super Bowl champion Odell Beckham Jr. has been sending the NFL rumor mill into overdrive. The free agent may be heading to the Vikings this season. While the Vikings have a decent offense this season, an additional boost will definitely take them far. At an optimistic 5-1 this season, the Vikings might just end up surprising fans.
While the entire league is vying for the wide receiver’s attention, do the Vikings stand a chance at a bid for Odell Beckham Jr.? It is to be noted that other teams have been discussing Beckham’s potential future with them. Currently, Beckham is no doubt the hottest property on the free-agent market.

Another fan thinks it’s the perfect pair.
It would be the perfect pairing of Super Bowl losers and I could die happy with a Vikings win.

This fan thinks OBJ is perfect in any roster.
I think putting OBJ on the Chiefs or even the Bills really ends the opportunity to anyone getting a Super Bowl shot Lmao, I think he’d be great on any team tbh, but I want to see him on the Vikings, him and Jefferson would be a scary duo

Another fan excitedly made a pitch for the Vikings.
@obj #skol be a part of greatness and not a team that needs rebuilding. This team will be NFC champions. You get that jersey # baby!! We want you. @Vikings

This fan is ready to invest in an OBJ Vikings jersey
I’d buy an @obj @Vikings jersey as soon as it was official

This fan disagrees with the hype.
I can get on board with the @Vikings signing OBJ or Ndamukong Suh or even trading for DJ Moore but one thing that makes ZERO sense is getting Cam Akers, that's one thing this team has no use for, Cook, Mattison, Kene, & Ty Chandler if and when he returns that's enough RBs #Skol

Will OBJ come to the Vikings?
The former Rams receiver has remained unsigned because of a torn ACL. While nothing is concrete at the moment, Beckham will have to weigh his options carefully as there is no doubt that there are multiple teams who are interested in acquiring him. Compared to the likes of the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills, the Vikings may not seem like a contender.

But, his ties with Minnesota’s head coach Kevin O’Connell, who was formerly the Rams’ offensive coordinator cannot be ignored. Fans will also look forward to the potential pairing of Beckham and Justin Jefferson, another Louisiana State University alum.
