New Odell Beckham Jr. Rumors Update NFL Free Agency Buzz After Fanatics Flag Football Game

Odell Beckham Jr.'s strong performance at Tom Brady's Fanatics flag football game could help land him on an NFL squad.

Per NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the veteran wide receiver "has received renewed interest" from NFL teams after the flag football game, where Beckham was "one of the most impressive players on the field."

Schultz added that Beckham "fully intends to play in 2026."

Beckham, once a star for the New York Giants, has not played since 2024, when he spent nine games with the Miami Dolphins. During that campaign, he recorded just nine receptions for 55 yards before being released in December.

Beckham did not join a team ahead of the 2025 season and was later suspended six games for testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs in 2024. After being suspended, Beckham said that he planned to join a squad when he was eligible again.

"You can say whatever you want about me," Beckham said. "I stand firm in knowing who I am today. I ain't never cheated anybody but myself. … I'm going to stand on that and I'm going to keep it going. And then you're going to see me, maybe with the Steelers or the Rams or if the Chiefs want to call me. Then I'll be playing in a Super Bowl this year."

While he wasn't able to find a landing spot last season, it appears the 33-year-old will get some more looks this offseason after showing that he still has some football left in him over the weekend.

ESPN's Adam Schefter noted that Beckham "wants to play and he's healthy," adding that the Giants "would make some sense" as a possible suitor.

If he returns, Beckham is unlikely to be the player he was 10 years ago, but it seems like he could at least make an impact.
