The Los Angeles Rams have given lofty contract extensions to Cooper Kupp and Aaron Donald. Those two players played a huge role in the Rams’ Super Bowl success last season. However, there is another player, who played a significant part in their success, Odell Beckham Jr. – he is available on the market as a free agent.

Odell Beckham Jr. got injured in the Super Bowl. Since then, he has been rehabbing and recovering from his injury. As a result, no team has picked him up yet. He is not available to play. OBJ reacted on his Twitter account to his former teammates getting paid well during the off-season.

He reacted to a tweet where it was mentioned that the Rams have enough money in their salary cap to bring back OBJ next season. The former Rams’ receiver wrote, “Lol shxdddd that woulda be better than….. nvm God got me and teaching me patience ! Im blessed.”

Odell Beckham Jr. knows he deserves more than the $3.625 million mentioned there. He played quite well last season, and as we have seen in the offseason, the WRs around the league are getting paid well.

OBJ’s situation is different as he is injured. He might accept the Los Angeles Rams’ offer because he won’t be available to play the whole season. However, if he regains his health, he can raise his demands and play for much more in the next season. He will likely receive good pay.

Even though there is a high possibility that Odell Beckham Jr. will return to the Rams next season, things can change. Many teams like the Packers and the Chiefs would love to add him to their squad. The Green Bay Packers have enough money to give OBJ a better contract than the Rams, which is why he could change his decision also.
