The much-awaited news on Odell Beckham Jr.’s future is still going to be a long wait. As the current free agent gets back to full fitness in no time, NFL teams are looking to go shopping as they will splurge on securing the wide receiver. With as many teams lining up for him, it looks like money is going to be the deal breaker in the situation. Von Miller was the latest to express Buffalo Bills’ interest in the star wide receiver.

The offense-defense duo was last together in LA with the Rams. They won the Super Bowl with the Los Angeles franchise. A possible reunion could lead to something similar as the Bills are amongst the top contention for the Vince Lombardi trophy.
What does agent Von Miller have to say about OBJ?
On his latest bleacher report podcast, Miller revealed that OBJ will be visiting the Bills’ campus. Earlier, just the Giants and Cowboys were reported to meet with the free agent. However, with Miller’s revelations, it is clear that even Buffalo has joined in on the OBJ party.
Von Miller suffered a knee injury during their game in Detroit and has been placed on IR since. Odell Beckham Jr. showed support for his former teammate as he tweeted about the playing surfaces post-Miller’s injury.
With OBJ’s trip, Miller is confident that Beckham Jr. won’t have an easy time picking his future franchise.
“OBJ’s taking a visit this Friday.” 👀

Von Miller previously played a crucial role in landing the superstar wide receiver to the LA Rams. Post OBJ’s release from the Browns Von Miller was the first to reach out to him as a birthday wish.
That birthday wish translated right into a Super Bowl ring as the linebacker managed to convince him to arrive in LA. Having that relationship and a similar experience in the past, nothing is stopping Miller from convincing him to not look beyond Western New York as he makes his trip this weekend.

The Miller-OBJ bromance
However, on a recent Pat McAfee episode Miller went on to say, “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.”
While the duo has a beautiful relationship off the field and Miller would love to share a locker room with OBJ again, it will all depend on what the wide receiver wants to do, eventually. A reunion could be huge for the Bills as they’ll be a stacked unit for the postseason. Odell could be the game-changer for whichever franchise he joins.
