All eyes are on Odell Beckham Jr. as he narrows down his free agent decision to these 3 NFL teams

Just about 10 months after he tore his ACL during the Los Angeles Rams’ victory in Super Bowl 56, free agent receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will soon make his free agent decision. Given Beckham Jr.’s reputation as one of the NFL’s best playmakers, his choice could factor heavily into the overall playoff chase and perhaps even into the hunt for Super Bowl 57.

But before he picks a new team, Beckham Jr. is set to tour with a handful of teams over the next few days. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the wideout will begin said tours on Thursday with a visit to his former squad, the New York Giants. Then, he’ll pivot to trips to see two contending heavyweights in the Buffalo Bills and Dallas Cowboys.

Given his previous precedent of generally elite game-breaking ability, Beckham Jr.’s decision could indeed have a lot of weight on who comes out on top in February’s Big Game. Provided he’s healthy and himself again, the lucky suitor between the Giants, Bills, and Cowboys should find itself ecstatic to add Beckham Jr. into its offensive dynamic. You simply don’t say no to players of his skill set if given the opportunity to add them into the fold.

Who Beckham Jr. picks between Buffalo and Dallas should have even greater significance if oddsmakers have their say. Buffalo (+450) and Dallas (+900) currently have the second-best and fifth-best odds of winning Super Bowl 57, respectively. And, in a dose of irony, both are seeking more diversity and reliable options in their attacks outside of “throw the ball up to Stefon Diggs/CeeDee Lamb.” It’s no wonder they have Beckham Jr. on the dial.

I mean, they’re probably just texting him, right? Yeah, they’re texting him.

After joining the Rams midseason and helping them win the Super Bowl last year, Beckham Jr. very well could soon find himself in a similar spot for the second straight season.
