Former Pro Bowl wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. took to social media to discuss his negotiations with the Los Angeles Rams on Wednesday, revealing that the organization offered him “the lowest of low offers.”
Beckham’s free agency has been widely publicized, with a number of teams seemingly interested including the Rams, the Buffalo Bills, and the New York Giants.
He definitely has some options, but it truly seems as if his heart remains with the Rams.
Head coach Sean McVay discussed Beckham’s negotiations with the organization and revealed that this will not be the only offer the Rams give Beckham.
“This is not the last one (offer) that will come from us,” McVay said via Rams reporter Gilbert Manzano.

Beckham famously played a huge role for the Rams in their championship run last year that was unfortunately cut short due to a brutal ACL tear during the Super Bowl.
Considering the struggles that the Rams’ offense has had this season without Beckham, they may want to act with some urgency and pay him what he is asking to return.
Los Angeles currently ranks 26th in total yards per game and 29th in points per game without Beckham.
Some of this has been due to a lack of production from newly acquired wide receiver Allen Robinson thus far this year compared to Beckham’s impact last year.
Beckham has already set a target date for his potential signing, saying that he should be healthy and ready to sign sometime near the middle of November.
It will certainly be interesting to monitor how well the Rams do until that date. If they continue to struggle, it could make the Bills a much more attractive landing spot for OBJ.
