The Buffalo Bills made a big move this offseason by signing eight-time Pro Bowl linebacker Von Miller to a massive six-year deal. It appears that move already may be paying off for Buffalo, as Miller is campaigning hard to bring another former Pro Bowl player.
Miller took to social media on Monday to try and bring veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to Buffalo, posting a picture with the caption “@OBJ Let’s try and chase this ring… again”.
It appears that Beckham may be interested in that possibility, as he responded to one of Miller’s posts saying “What’s that locker next to u look like!!??”

Beckham is one of the highest-value free agents left available to teams, and he would certainly fill a need for the team after the Bills let go of veteran wide receiver Cole Beasley this offseason.
Many Bills fans feel like this would be the perfect addition to complete their roster as we get closer to the start of the regular season.
“What’s the locker next to u loook like 👀!!!??” –@obj to Von Miller.
If the #Bills want Odell Beckham Jr. at some point this season, it’s not going to take much convincing…

OBJ to Buffalo is currently +1200. We'll see if the odds move.https://t.co/RJIXDAPGk4

Pump the breaks everyone. I’m sure he’s just trying to recruit his friend. But Miller hasn’t been shy about trying to convince his friends/former teammates to join him in Buffalo.

There have been rumors that Beckham may be interested in returning to play for the Los Angeles Rams, but nothing has come to fruition on that just yet. Beckham played a huge role in the Rams’ Super Bowl run but unfortunately suffered a devastating ACL injury in the Super Bowl against the Cincinnati Bengals.
He was likely in line for a big contract from a potential suitor before the injury, so a team like the Bills or Rams could seemingly bring in Beckham on a short-term contract to have him prove his productivity to the team.
The Bills currently sit as the favorites to make the 2023 Super Bowl at +650 odds, and bringing in a player of Beckham’s caliber would certainly improve their chances of making that a reality next season.
