All eyes on Odell Beckham as the post-NFL trade deadline prize

It’s almost OBJ o’clock.

The NFL trade deadline has come and gone, and now that that dust has settled, Odell Beckham Jr. looms as the biggest potential difference-maker who is available to help push a contender over the top.

The Bills, who are the current Super Bowl favorites at +230 odds on FanDuel, are one team Beckham Jr. has been flirting with,

On Wednesday, Buffalo GM Brandon Beane said that “of course” the team would look into signing him.

“OBJ’s a heck of a talent,” Beane said, according to News 10 in Buffalo. “If we did, you have to remember there’s financials, there’s roles, there’s all sorts of things that would have to line up. A guy of his talent, of course we’d look into that.”

Beckham Jr. tore his ACL during the Rams’ Super Bowl victory in February.

Meanwhile, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said last week that Beckham Jr. “is a player that I admire a lot.”

The 49ers are also considered to be in the mix.

“We’re open to discussions with everybody. We look into everything,” head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Tuesday. “You don’t have to worry about the trade deadline with him because he’s out there and he’s available. I’ve always been a fan of Odell, like I feel like most people are. He’s that good of a player.”

The Packers are the other team out there that, from the outside, seem like they could really use Beckham Jr. Green Bay has struggled to replace the production of Davante Adams, whom they traded to the Raiders in the offseason.
