Odell Beckham Jr. has yet to sign a contract, but could be close to joining a team relatively soon.
With that said, it sounds like Las Vegas Raiders fans are ready for Beckham to join the squad after they swarmed him at a Lakers-Clippers game.
According to TMZ, “The NFL superstar could hardly move as he attempted to make his way inside the downtown LA venue for the pivotal Lakers vs. Clippers game. As people tried to get photos with him — and recruit him to their favorite team.”
Here’s a clip of Odell Beckham Jr. getting swarmed by Raiders fans, per TMZ.
Beckham seemed to handle it pretty well. It looked like he may have signed an autograph or two, took some pictures with some fans, and he even joked to the TMZ Sports crew about which team he may sign with.
As for the game he attended, Odell Beckham Jr. sat just a few feet away from the CLippers bench. Ultimately, the Clippers beat the Lakers 125-118 on Wednesday night.
All of this is exciting, but Beckham remains a free agent. There is buzz that he’ll sign a deal soon. But it’s yet to be determined how big the contract will be.
Rumors suggest the star wide receiver will be making about $15 million per year.
A few teams that have been rumored to be interested in Odell Beckham Jr. are the Los Angeles Rams, New York Jets, Baltimore Ravens, and Buffalo Bills.
However, these Raiders fans sure seem to want Beckham on their team.
With that said, keep an eye on the former Super Bowl winner, as he should hopefully sign a deal soon.
