OBJ’s claims left the fans unsettled

After the game, Odell Beckham Jr. shared praise for Jake Paul. The free agent WR kept three words for him on social media. Beckham Jr. tweeted, Give @jakepaul his credit! Much luv Brodie.

It was a rough night for Jake as he lost the decorated 6-0 streak, of which four were knockout wins. It may not be as wild as the Undertaker‘s 21-0 WrestleMania streak, but Paul is sincerely trending all over. However, the fans do not agree with OBJ giving the flowers to Jake Paul.

One user said that he lost and “He’ll be back on YouTube soon.” But Beckham Jr. had an answer.

Another user reminded he fought non-boxers previously.

However, this user is wondering why should anyone give Paul credit for being 0-1 against boxers.

This user said Paul would return to the Disney channel after the fight.

Another user was in denial of OBJ’s tweet.

However, this user said Jake Paul got robbed of the win.

This user sent out a truth bomb toward OBJ.

The chatter around OBJ’s next destination in his football opens up on a large scale. But with the offseason’s arrival, when would be next for the free agent WR?

Renowned analyst dropped big claims over Odell Beckham Jr. and his NFL future

OBJ’s fate in the NFL remains uncertain despite taking tours of three prominent franchises. The denial of working out may have affected the team’s decision. But Mike Florio landed a massive claim that franchise could be with anyone at this point.

Since ODB is an unrestricted free agent, the chances of him landing in any team would increase. The PFT analyst said, “He can currently sign with any team, at any time.” However, his expected cash of $20 Million per year could play a role in it.

It would be an exciting thing to monitor once the free agency window opens up.
