Bills GM praises potential future Buffalo WR Odell Beckham Jr.

Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane offered praise for free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.

The Buffalo Bills did make a couple of moves at the trade deadline, acquiring running back Nyheim Hines from the Indianapolis Colts and safety Dean Marlowe from the Atlanta Falcons. These were moves made to further bolster their roster, in hopes of making their first trip to the Super Bowl since the 1993 season. But could they make one last move to put them over the top? As in, sign free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.?

While meeting with the media on Wednesday, Bills general manager Brandon Beane was asked about Beckham, where he said “if we think he can help this team, we’d be crazy to not to at least look into” bringing in the wide receiver.” The quote comes courtesy of WGR 550’s Sal Capaccio.

Beckham is no stranger to being linked to the Bills. Throughout this year, Von Miller, Beckham’s former teammate with the Los Angeles Rams last season, has been openly recruiting the wide receiver.

Last season, Beckham started off as a member of the Cleveland Browns, before both sides mutually agreed to part ways. After clearing waivers, Beckham signed a deal with the Rams.

In his eight regular-season games with Los Angeles, he recorded 27 receptions for 305 yards and five touchdowns. Through the Rams’ four playoff games, Beckham caught 21-of-26 targets for 288 yards and two touchdowns. One of those touchdowns occurred in the first half of Super Bowl 56. However, Beckham tore his ACL in the big game.

There will likely be a bidding war to sign Beckham, since he is the top wide receiver available in free agency. It will be interesting to see if the Bills will be involved in those negotiations.
