Odell Beckham Jr. may find himself on a new team in 2022, and it’s one that would certainly make headlines.
Beckham had preliminary discussions with the New England Patriots at the start of free agency and there appears to be persistent mutual interest, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Beckham is interested in playing for Bill Belichick, and the Patriots looked at signing Beckham in November when the Cleveland Browns released him. There is “no real rush” on either side to get a deal done, according to the report.
We heard last month that the Patriots had been doing extensive digging into the free agent receiver class. Most of the top names have signed, but Beckham is still available as he recovers from ACL surgery.
Beckham and the Patriots would certainly be intriguing. He would arguably be the team’s No. 1 receiver when healthy, and is certainly a big play threat. The 29-year-old showed he can still be an impact player after last year’s trade to the Rams, catching seven touchdowns between the regular season and playoffs with the team.
