The Odell Beckham Jr. buzz is making a turnaround as the offseason levels up. The free agency window opens on Wednesday, with several top-tier athletes waiting for their next step. OBJ stands atop the WRs division. He was in his franchise facility tours in the regular season, but that reached a dead end. Given his capability, he is a top draw. However, his asking price is raising concern among the fans.

The free-agent wide receiver recently performed some private workouts in Phoenix, Arizona. Several teams, like the Patriots, Bills, Giants, 49ers, Chiefs, and more, were at the venue. OBJ also visited a Phoenix Suns game with his son and interacted with Devin Booker, which picked up sensationalism.

I love me some Odell, and I HOPE he comes back better than ever.
With that being said, Top 10 Wideout money off 13 months off, and 2 ACL’s is a BIG ask.
$20M is right on par w DJ Moore, Mike Williams, and Amari Cooper https://t.co/JfTxOr4zHB

One user contented that if someone seeks a $25M contract does not means he would get it.
I’m seeking a $25 million contract, too. Doesn’t mean I’m going to get it. OBJ won’t get $20 million.

Odell’s workout session showcased that the WR has not lost a feat. But spending $20 Million a year would be worth it?
OBJ’s $20 Million hunt could have some odd effects
Odell Beckham Jr is ramping up his return after the offseason came up. The fans waiting for the return could finally see the athlete in action. From New York to Los Angeles, ODB came a long way. However, his return this year could have several question marks.

Several aspects could slow down OBJ’s NFL revival. His vulnerability to ACL injuries is one aspect, as the Super Bowl LVI injury marked his second tear in the same position. While the WR1 did not lose out on the explosiveness, the $20 Million asking price could also be a problem.
Several NFL teams would benefit from OBJ. But what would his next location be? It is subject to witness.
