Odell Beckham Jr. is a wide receiver signed by the LA franchise for the 2021 season, after an ugly exit from the Cleveland Browns. The athlete went on to play eight games with 305 yards, 27 grabs, and eight touchdowns with the Rams. Before being ruled out of the match, he put up an unequaled performance in the Super Bowl. The Rams’ receiver is now sidelined for several months.

However, given recent events in OBJ’s life, it’s possible that he’ll want to spend time with his family while simultaneously focusing on his recuperation. The Super Bowl champion player recently brought his first child, Zydn, into the world with his girlfriend Lauren Wood.

Even though Beckham opts for free agency, he will have a wide selection of franchise options. But given his expressed intention to stay with the LA Rams for a longer period, this prospect appears to be highly remote.
