With rumors of Odell Beckham Jr. not being ready until the start of playoffs, it sounds like a lot of teams are pulling out of the race to sign him.
However, it sounds like at least one team might still be interested in signing the veteran wide receiver.
According to Ari Meirov, the Buffalo Bills general manager claims that they’re not ruling out signing Odell Beckham Jr. Even though they recently signed veteran Cole Beasley. Although Beasley brings some much-needed depth to the position, Buffalo still seems intrigued by possibly signing Beckham for their Super Bowl push.
#Bills GM Brandon Beane told reporters that signing Cole Beasley does not take them out of signing Odell Beckham Jr.
Beane said Beasley reached out after Thanksgiving and told them he’d be open to coming back despite retiring earlier in the season.

We’ll see if that comes to fruition or not. After Beckham visited with multiple teams, disinterest grew as his health is seriously in question. In fact, rumors are that several NFL teams believe Odell Beckham Jr. is going to hold out for the 2023 offseason. If that’s the case, he’ll be the top wide receiver on the market come March.
At the end of the day, the Bills are viewed as one of the top contenders for the Super Bowl. If they believe that Beckham can help contribute in the postseason, then why not bring him in? The idea of Josh Allen throwing the ball to both Stefon Diggs and Odell Beckham Jr. is frightening for the rest of the league.
So, continue keeping a close eye on Beckham, as there is still a chance he signs with a team this season. Albeit, it’s a bit of a small chance.
