Less than two weeks after the Rams acquired Von Miller in a trade with the Broncos, they made a second big splash. They signed Odell Beckham Jr. following his release from the Browns.
Some questioned his fit in Los Angeles and the Rams’ decision to sign the polarizing receiver, but his impact on the offense was evident rather quickly. He brought speed to the Rams, as well as excellent ball skills, particularly in the red zone.
Beckham looked like the player everyone was wowed by when he was in New York, proving that he’s not yet past his prime. Unfortunately, he has a new hurdle to overcome after tearing his ACL in the Super Bowl, which could sideline him for about half the season.
As a pending free agent, the Rams (and other suitors) must take that into account. So will he be back in L.A. or will he look for a fresh start elsewhere?
We kick off our 2022 free agency preview series with Beckham, one of the Rams’ top priorities.
