Free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is set to make his return to the NFL this season. The 2014 first-round pick missed all of last season due to a torn ACL that he suffered in February 2022 during the Los Angeles Rams’ Super Bowl victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.
Thus far, he’s received interest from multiple teams. NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported last night that the Dallas Cowboys have had positive discussions with OBJ. Today, he reported that the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs are also interested in Beckham Jr.
Beckham Jr. held a private workout in Phoenix, Arizona, last week in front of many NFL teams. He ran routes and showed that he still has some explosiveness and agility.

Could Odell Beckham Jr. replace JuJu Smith-Schuster in Kansas City?
While Travis Kelce is Patrick Mahomes’ primary target, he lost his top wide receiver from last season in JuJu Smith-Schuster.
Smith-Schuster signed a three-year deal with the New England Patriots after leading the Chiefs in yards last season for receivers with 933.
He joined the Chiefs last off-season on a one-year deal worth up to $10.75 million and left after winning a Super Bowl.
Free agent wide receiver Mecole Hardman could also leave KC this off-season. A veteran like OBJ would be a good replacement for Hardman and Smith-Schuster.
Odell Beckham Jr. provides an update on how he’s feeling

On Twitter, Odell Beckham Jr. provided an update on his condition. The star wide receiver tweeted that he feels good, but knows he needs time to get back to his best.
“Can’t lie it feels good to be where I’m at but even better to know I got 5 months to get where I wanna be. This sh*t ain’t easy and going thru these is just taxing in every way. I just couldn’t let myself give up or go out like that! I still got some to do.. let’s get it. Now I get to actually work my craft in an off-season and not have to rehab like the past 3/4 off-seasons. Sh*t was mad annoying.”
