Odell Beckham Jr. remains unsigned despite free agency buzz
While rumors of Odell Beckham Jr.’s potential move to the Bills have been swirling since the beginning of free agency, the veteran wide receiver has yet to sign with any team. Odell may want a $20M contract, but teams may not be willing to pay that due to his injury history.
In addition to the Bills, several other teams have been linked to Odell Beckham Jr. as a potential destination. New York Jets, who are reportedly interested in signing the receiver to please their potential new quarterback Aaron Rodgers, attended Beckham Jr.’s recent workout.
