The question surrounding Odell Beckham Jr. is yet to have a definite response. The free agent WR is coming off his one-year hiatus to rehab his torn ACL. But the question about his next career step remains. There are multiple franchises in line, but the New York Jets seem to have the leverage. OBJ today referenced a throwback that is sure to excite the New York fanbase.

Since the offseason, several teams like the Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills, the Giants, and Jets were in speculation for the WR. Odell Beckham Jr. also made a mid-season trip to three franchises to determine his future. The New York fanbase should be ecstatic since they have a greater chance.

However, amidst the OBJ to the Jets rumors, the Super Bowl LVI-winning WR is hinting at a grand reunion. Odell Beckham Jr. did it by recalling one of his old yet classic moments when he was a part of the New York Giants. He took to Twitter to express his thoughts.

The tweets section immediately blew up, with Twitter users clamoring that Odell would assuredly join the Giants. Beckham Jr. has a specific incident that remains unforgettable, which includes him, a headbutt, and a fan.

Back in 2018, on a Thursday game against the Philadelphia Eagles, Odell Beckham Jr. looked upset as they were on the losing end. To vent his frustrations, he head-butted a fan [not a real one, but a cooling fan] to get himself driven. Saquon Barkley calmed him down, and he made his way to the locker room. However, that may not be the case, as Beckham Jr could catch up with the Caleb Plant vs David Benavidez battle, where a headbutt busted Plant’s nose.
