The wide receiver began his tenure in Miami on the physically unable-to-perform list, but the team brought him back in October. Beckham didn\u2019t have a huge role on the team since they already had stars\u00a0Tyreek Hill\u00a0and Jaylen Waddle who\u2019ve been carrying most of the weight.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-10\">\n<div id=\"FreeStarVideoAdContainer\">\n<div id=\"freestar-video-parent\">\n<div id=\"freestar-video-child\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Originally selected in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft, the veteran spent just one year with each team for the past three seasons since joining the Rams but ended up tearing his ACL where he won his Super Bowl ring. Beckham missed the entire 2022 season so his production has been slowing down. However,\u00a0one report says\u00a0he\u2019s looking for the next opportunity with the postseason around the corner, this could be the perfect time to join forces with a legitimate contender to revitalize his career. There\u2019s no clear indication if Beckham will garner interest anytime soon but a team could call for his services as solid depth during the final week of the NFL regular season.<\/p>\n<p>Beckham isn\u2019t the same player he once was with the New York Giants under the Eli Manning era but he could easily earn a rotational role on a short-term basis. Several teams like the Ravens, Chiefs should keep Beckham on their radar for the next few weeks.<\/p>\n<h2>Three-Time Pro Bowler Odell Beckham Jr. Officially on Free Agent Market \u2013 Ravens, Chiefs Among Next Teams<\/h2>\n<h3>Possible Fits<\/h3>\n<h4>Baltimore Ravens<\/h4>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-24\">\n<div id=\"lwos_incontent_1\" align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x250\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/15184186,22512265771\/lwos_incontent_1_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Diontae Johnson trade\u00a0has not been going as planned\u00a0since bringing him in after Rashod Bateman got hurt. However, the Ravens continue to be stellar on the ground game but they could use some wide receiver depth. Beckham might not be high on their list of what they\u2019re looking for since releasing him this past offseason, but he was a reliable chain-mover who could help relieve the stress off\u00a0Zay Flowers\u00a0and Bateman. Bringing in some familiarity behind Nelson Agholor could get this offense on the right pace while they\u2019re slowing down the wild card race of the postseason.<\/p>\n<h4>Kansas City Chiefs<\/h4>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-55\"><\/div>\n<p>While the Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0are getting Marquise Brown back in the lineup, they traded for\u00a0DeAndre Hopkins\u00a0to help Patrick Mahomes\u2019 vision down the field. It\u2019s been Jaylen Watson carrying most of the workload ahead of Mecole Hardman and rookie Xavier Worthy for the last couple of weeks so they could bring in a veteran like Beckham to deepen the group. Beckham might not be the long-term solution but the Chiefs could bring him as a potential upgrade over JuJu Smith-Schuster who\u2019s been fading in the background. Travis Kelce hasn\u2019t been the same MVP the past two seasons so Beckham\u2019s presence could create some separation in the aerial attack to help Mahomes find him when he\u2019s open.<\/p>\n<h4>Los Angeles Chargers<\/h4>\n<p>The Chargers are looking like the real deal to become the dark horse this postseason despite losing to the Ravens and Chiefs in the regular season this year. Rookie\u00a0Ladd McConke<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/04\/14\/teams-that-could-draft-mcconkey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">y<\/a>\u00a0is becoming more of Justin Herbert\u2019s long-term answer but that hasn\u2019t been the same for Quentin Johnston. Meanwhile, Joshua Palmer has his moments but having Beckham in the backend to help DJ Chark could improve this offense. Beckham doesn\u2019t need to be full-time but come in on third-down possessions to help Herbert find a reliable veteran to throw to with solid hands.<\/p>\n<div id=\"FreeStarVideoAdContainer\">\n<div id=\"freestar-video-parent\">\n<div id=\"freestar-video-child\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Houston Texans<\/h4>\n<p>The Texans have a solid WR1 from Nico Collins but since losing\u00a0Stefon Diggs, they haven\u2019t found a temporary solution for C.J. Stroud. Tank Dell hasn\u2019t been himself like last year but a veteran like Beckham could provide some relief. With the Texans set to win the AFC South, Beckham could solidify this offense with more weapons even if he doesn\u2019t have a huge role.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to multiple reports, three-time Pro Bowler Odell Beckham Jr. is officially a free agent and here are some possible fits.
