One of the most intriguing free agents still available days before the first NFL regular season game of the year is three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
Beckham famously tore his ACL during last year’s Super Bowl while on the Los Angeles Rams, and to this point, he has not signed with any team.
There are seemingly two teams that have shown interest in Beckham this offseason, and Beckham has hinted on social media that the winner of Thursday Night Football between the Los Angeles Rams and the Buffalo Bills this week could become the frontrunner to land him.
“Whoever wins Thursday!!! Can’t wait… to all the boys goin into the season! May God bless u wit peace of mind and physical strength to endure the season. God watch over all my brothers this year let them shine and stay healthy !! LUV”

He then clarified on social media in a response to ESPN insider Josina Anderson that he is only half serious regarding his hint that he will sign with the winner of Thursday’s game, but he also revealed that he feels both teams could end up rematching in a potential Super Bowl matchup.
“LOL JO don’t hold me 2 it! I only half mean it, but these two teams are both just… just sayin I think the two teams that are opening up the season could be playin each other again at the end…..”

The Rams and the Bills have both been in discussions with Beckham this offseason, and Thursday’s game could leave a big impression on Beckham as he decides on his best fit.
Beckham had a great postseason last year before his unfortunate injury, and if he can come back to that level of production this season, he could be a great addition to either team.
