Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr sadly tore his ACL in the Super Bowl 56 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Not only did the injury rob Beckham, who is set to become a free agent, of a chance to further make an impact on the big game, but it also may throw a wrench in his offseason plans. Not many teams are going to want to pay up for a big contract on a wide receiver with two ACL injuries before the age of 30 in his career. Beckham will have his suitors for sure, though his best option might just be to re-sign with the Rams. That said, here are three reasons why the Rams star should return to Los Angeles after tearing his ACL in Super Bowl 56.

3 Reasons Odell Beckham Jr Should Re-Sign With Rams
3. Odell Beckham Jr won't get a payday if that's what he's seeking
Odell Beckham Jr had already said that he would be willing to take a pay cut to remain with the Rams before Super Bowl 56. Unfortunately, Beckham's ACL injury might not make it possible for him to even consider other options if he's looking to get paid. This will now be the second serious knee injury he has suffered and the third season-ending ailment of his career. The LSU product's mere presence on the field is enough to attract plenty of defensive attention, something that was even more noticeable during his Super Bowl 56 absence. The NFL knows he's an elite talent. However, if there's no payday on the table, Beckham should just re-sign with the Rams and stay in the best situation possible for him.
2. Beckham can complete the Rams' talented WR trio
Odell Beckham Jr was able to share the field with All-Pro wideout Cooper Kupp. However, the Rams star never got to play alongside fellow receiver Robert Woods, who suffered an ACL injury of his own during a practice session. Re-signing with the Rams would mean that Beckham would get to take the field with Kupp and Woods and form the NFL's most dangerous receiving corps. Defenses would have to account for all three of them, a nightmare scenario to think about. Beckham, who looked excellent for Los Angeles earlier this year, could potentially return to the form from earlier in his career alongside Kupp and Woods, provided his recovery goes well.
1. The Rams are Beckham's best chance to keep on winning
Before Odell came to the Cleveland Browns, he hadn't seen much success, making it to the postseason just once. He then missed out on the Browns' playoff victory, as he was recovering from an ACL injury. This Super Bowl 56 run with the Rams was legitimately his first taste of success at the NFL level. It wouldn't be smart for Beckham to throw that away for a payday that might not be out there, or for a situation that can't measure up to the one he has in Los Angeles. Beckham should re-sign with the Rams for a chance to bring home another Lombardi Trophy.
