Free Odell?: Minnesota Vikings’ Fall Short Against Baltimore Ravens Despite Pre-Match Trolling
Follow Us
Odell Beckham Jr. has been gaining a lot of support throughout the NFL community following his breakup with the Cleveland Browns on Friday. However, the wide receiver is going to be completely free on Monday as he hits the waivers for the teams to have a claim on him. Even before Ravens could get a peek at him, Minnesota Vikings brought the jokes.
Beckham has never been a free agent in his entire NFL career, so now that he is every team in the NFL fights to acquire the three-time Pro Bowler before anyone else. So do the Baltimore Ravens. And thus, taking a part in the ‘Free OBJ’ movement, multiple fans on Twitter requested quarterback Lamar Jackson to help initiate talks to sign the star wideout.

However, the deeper message could be that the Vikings players were trolling the Ravens fans for their desperate need for the wide receiver. The Vikings players were wearing the ‘Free Odell’ hoodie in order to tease the Ravens of their craving for Odell Beckham Jr. Maybe they want him to be ‘free’ from all the hopes that Baltimore fans have attached to him.
