Odell Beckham Jr. is set to become a free agent next week, but the star wide receiver may not get that far.
Beckham is expected to re-sign with the Los Angeles Rams before free agency, Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network reports.
“Look for OBJ to be back with the Rams at some point,” a source told Wilson. “It’s a strong fit, and they know what he can do, and he loves it there. He’s not leaving.”
Beckham tore his ACL in the Super Bowl, which will likely have an impact on his next contract. He would still draw plenty of interest on the open market, but he has said he wants to remain with the Rams. General manager Les Snead made it clear last week that the interest is mutual.
Though he tore his ACL in the second quarter of the Super Bowl, Beckham played a big role in L.A.’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He caught the first touchdown of the game to give the Rams an early lead.
Should Beckham not re-sign with the Rams, at least one AFC powerhouse is said to have interest in him.
