REPORT: Several NFL Teams Believe Odell Beckham Jr. Is ''Leaning Toward'' Shocking Free Agency Decision
After weeks of hype around the free-agent wide receiver's return, which included very public visits with the Giants, Cowboys and Bills, Odell Beckham might not see action until next season.
Indeed, the belief among several NFL teams is that Beckham will be forced to sit out the entire 2022 season, including the playoffs, and sign with a team at the start of free agency in March, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. One team executive told Fowler that Beckham will «be the prize» of the 2023 crop of free-agent receivers.
OBJ is working his way back from a torn ACL suffered last February, during the Super Bowl, which was reportedly a major red flag for the Cowboys after meeting with the 30-year-old wideout this month.
If Beckham waits until free agency, presumably more teams will be able to make him an offer that he wants.
One day after Beckham's visit with the team, ESPN's Ed Werder reported the Cowboys had concerns after he took a physical that recovery from a torn ACL has not progressed enough to ensure he would be able to play before mid-January.
"There is a possibility that signing Beckham, who closed out his two-day visit with the Cowboys on Tuesday, would have no benefit until the 2023 season, the source added," suggested by Werder.
