The saga of Odell Beckham Jr's free agency continues to this day. The star wide receiver is the most sought-after FA in the market, and for good reason. However, Beckham's injury status hinders his ability to sign with any team he pleases. As a result, rumors have dragged out over the last few weeks.
As it turns out, though, there's a good reason why no team has made a serious offer. According to a report by Dov Kleiman, Odell Beckham Jr's return from injury has been pushed back to mid-December. That apparently explains why NFL teams have hesitated on giving an offer sheet for OBJ yet.
“Free-agent WR Odell Beckham is still recovering from his injury and won't be available to play until mid-December, two team executives tell ESPN. Explains why his market hasn't changed so far this season.”
When he's fully healthy, Odell Beckham Jr has proven that he can still be a great contributor to a championship team. His short stint with the Rams proved that: he functioned well as a secondary threat behind Cooper Kupp. Had he not injured his ACL during the Super Bowl, he'd still be a part of the Rams roster.
However, his injury and prolonged recovery have made NFL teams a little hesitant on giving Odell Beckham Jr an offer sheet. Still, we can expect teams like the Kansas City Chiefs and the Green Bay Packers to make a run for OBJ once he's healthy. In fact, both teams are likely already in contact with OBJ even while he's injured.
