Odell Beckham Jr. had 288 yards in the 2021 playoffs for the Los Angeles Rams and helped Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay win their first and only Super Bowl. With Beckham hoping to return to the NFL with a team in 2026, a reunion with the Rams could end up becoming a natural rumor with his roots to Los Angeles and a competition for the third wide receiver spot.
> “Looking forward to hopefully getting an opportunity to play this year, and hopefully, this is kinda just a starting point,” Beckham [told](https://x.com/heykayadams/status/2035369590042337440) Kay Adams at the Fanatics event.
Beckham said that it would be “great” to return to the Giants to play with second-year quarterback Jaxon Dart, plus OBJ played for new head coach John Harbaugh when he was on the Ravens in 2023. The fit with New York might make sense because the Giants don’t have a clear pecking order behind the recovering Malik Nabers, but L.A. can’t be ruled out either.
That is only if any team is actually interested in signing the 33-year-old.
Beckham’s last 1,000-yard season came in 2019 with the Cleveland Browns.
His last season with any sort of notable production at all came with Baltimore in 2023 when he had 565 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games.
But he’s just two months older than Davante Adams, last season’s league-leading scorer, and it just so happens that the two were teammates on the flag football team over the weekend. Could OBJ be an upgrade over Jordan Whittington and Konata Mumpfield, assuming L.A. doesn’t use their first pick on a receiver?
Flag football is nothing close to real football, but OBJ may have inspired a few fantasies with his play over the weekend.
If that fantasy leads to a one-year, totally non-guaranteed contract with a chance to earn himself a job through training camp and preseason, and if OBJ is willing to be humble about where he is in his career arc right now, then maybe Beckham has not played his last NFL game.
The game probably won’t come with the Rams. But if there’s a short list, it would make sense that L.A. is on it.
