Odell Beckham Jr. has been a free agent to look out for this season. The talented WR is in search of a team for several months now. The former LA Rams WR is a Super Bowl winner while having great technical ability on the ball.
Therefore, many were surprised after finding out that OBJ is still looking for a team despite interest from multiple NFL teams. Still, Odell is enjoying his free time and recently made an appearance during the auspicious event of UFC 287. The UFC 287 main fight was headlined by Israel Adesanya, who went up for a rematch against Alex Pereira after losing to him the last two times.
However, this time the story was completely different as ‘the last stylebender’ completely demolished Pereira in the second round of the fight. Israel’s right hook was too much for Pereira to handle, and he went down instantly. This helped the stylebender regain his middleweight belt.
OBJ had always believed that Israel will get a win against Pereira and was present during the fight to relish the moment in person. However, the former Rams WR was not alone and he was accompanied by various NFL stars, including the Vikings WR Justin Jefferson. The venue was filled with athletes and A-list celebrities, including Joe Burrow, Aaron Donald, Nick Bosa, and even the Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel was present during the fight.
It’s the NFL offseason and everyone is enjoying their time off from the sport. On the other hand, Odell Beckham Jr. still looks for a team. However, it feels like a confirmation could arrive at any moment.
Odell Beckham Jr. expected to visit the New York Jets
The New York Jets are going for a complete turnaround of their team to accommodate the great Aaron Rodgers. To give him the perfect reinforcement, the Jets have also shown interest in signing Odell Beckham Jr.
OBJ has been linked with the Jets for a long time now. However, a deal hasn’t been made yet due to various reasons. Some believe that Odell is asking for a lot of money, among many other reasons.
Regardless, new reports suggest that the Super Bowl-winning WR is expected to visit the Jets in New York to confirm a possible deal on Monday. However, if that won’t work out for Odell Beckham Jr. then there’s also an interest from the Chiefs and the Bills.
