Odell Beckham Jr. Rumors: NFL Execs Believe Rams Are Favorite to Sign Free-Agent WR

Odell Beckham Jr. will have no shortage of suitors when he returns from his torn ACL, but the Los Angeles Rams are seemingly on top of the list.

"Most execs I've spoken to believe the Rams are the favorite and make the most sense," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported, noting they have "maintained a good relationship" with the receiver.

Beckham helped Los Angeles win the Super Bowl last season, totaling 52 yards and a touchdown against the Cincinnati Bengals before going down with the knee injury. He scored seven touchdowns in 12 regular-season and playoff games after joining the Rams in November.

"It makes the most sense—if you're coming off an injury, why start over with a new offense?" an NFC personnel director told Fowler.

The Rams could certainly use Beckham after falling to 3-2 on the season, scoring just 19 total points in consecutive losses to the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys. The squad ranks 26th in total yards this season and 29th in points scored.

Cooper Kupp remains one of the NFL's most productive receivers with 49 catches for 527 yards this year, but Allen Robinson has been a massive disappointment with just 12 catches in five games since signing as a free agent.

If Beckham is anywhere close to full strength, he would immediately become the team's No. 2 option and take a lot of pressure off Kupp and quarterback Matthew Stafford.

The only problem is the Rams will face competition to sign the three-time Pro Bowler, with Fowler listing the Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New Orleans Saints and Buffalo Bills as the top options.

Beckham also agreed with the list presented by ESPN's Marc Spears last week:

Beckham also reportedly visited the New York Giants, per Josina Anderson of CBS Sports.

Wherever he lands, the potential signing could legitimately shift the landscape of the 2022 season.
