Josh Allen’s Bills’ Pursuit of Odell Beckham Jr. Leads to Major Change in Coaching Staff for 2023 Season

Published 02/16/2023, 3:15 PM EST

As the offseason has officially started, the teams are filling up their vacant coach positions so that they can move on to draft and free agency. Recently, the Buffalo Bills; wide receiver coach Chad Hall moved on to Jacksonville Jaguars. Hence, in order to replace him, the Bills and the General Manager of the team, Brandon Beane, went along with an unusual choice. The new wide receivers coach has a surprising connection to the former Super Bowl-winning wide receiver, Odell Beckham Jr.

This is not the first time that a connection between the Bills and Beckham has come up. Previously, the GM of the team expressed his interest in signing the three-time Pro Bowl selection. Even though Beane was not against the idea of bringing the WR to the team, he said that he was satisfied with the players he had on the roster.

That’s interesting. Adam Henry is — besides being a very good coach — close with Odell Beckham Jr. https://t.co/3kOVZJfZ7L

Now, the new wide receiver coach, Adam Henry, is closely acquainted with OBJ. Respected NFL Insider Ian Rapoport reported that the two individuals are quite close. People suspect now that Henry became the Bills’ part, the team would want to bring Beckham to work with Josh Allen and Co. But before that, we have to understand if their relationship is even that close.

Does Henry’s arrival mean that Odell Beckham Jr. will also follow?

Before signing with the Bills, Henry was Indianapolis’ co-offensive coordinator and wide receiver coach. He also worked as a wide receiver coach for teams like the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, and Cleveland Browns. While OBJ was with the Browns and the Giants, they worked together there. Additionally, he was also Beckham’s passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach at LSU for a few seasons.

Beckham tore his ACL in the Super Bowl LVI. Because of that, he could not sign with any team. But the Buffalo Bills had always been the team that had shown immense interest in the WR. Apart from them, he talked with teams like the Chiefs, the Baltimore Ravens, the Cowboys, the Giants, etc. However, the meetings led nowhere.

Many believe that the Bills should try to bring in high-powered offensive players. And now that Henry is in the squad, maybe OBJ will also follow.
