Despite a strong season with the Los Angeles Rams and a dominant playoff stretch, including a TD in the Super Bowl, Odell Beckham Jr. is still a free agent. If Von Miller is to be believed, Odell is ready to find his new home.
Von Miller said that he talks to Odell Beckham Jr. every week and that he’s sure the WR could see himself fitting in with the Bills.

Miller said OBJ “is going on tour now. He’s going to Giants practice facility, and the Saints, Tampa, and all that stuff, which you should.”
With a number of teams in need of a dynamic wide receiver, Beckham Jr. should have no shortage of suitors. He's not expected to be cleared to play until November, but who will he wind up with when the time comes?
It's time for a lovely game of "Let's Set Odds!" In today's edition, let's figure out what organization will be lucky enough to bring OBJ into the fold.
Let's Set Odds: Odell Beckham Jr's Next Team
Rams (+175) - Implied Probability of 36.36%
A reunion with the Rams seems the most likely scenario. Los Angeles' offense is sputtering, ranking 31st league-wide with a pathetic 4.7 yards per catch.
Allen Robinson was signed as the heir apparent to OBJ, but he only has nine catches for 97 yards through four weeks. Things aren't working out as A-Rob or the Rams imagined, and we already know Odell is comfortable with the organization.
The Rams are the perfect combination of strong fit and comfort, so they're the betting favorites.
Buffalo Bills (+250) - Implied Probability of 28.57%
The way Miller concluded this interview, and the fact he talks to Beckham Jr. weekly, makes the Bills strong contenders to add to their impressive collection of talent.
"I talk to OBJ probably every week."

Von Miller says Odell Beckham Jr. now "on tour" with visits to Giants, Saints, and Bucs.
Miller concludes with a smile...

Buffalo's offense has struggled in its last two games against the Dolphins and Ravens, as it's dealing with injuries to Gabe Davis and Jamison Crowder. Beckham Jr. would provide a jumpstart to the aerial attack, and he won a ring with Miller last year.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+650) - Implied Probability of 13.33%
Beckham seems like the perfect Tom Brady player, doesn't he? As Tampa Bay desperately tries to reignite an offense that ranks 22nd in yards per play (5.2), it's easy to imagine Brady selling OBJ on the sunny skies of Florida with no state income task.
Just ask Tyreek Hill about the allure of those taxes, after all.
New Orleans Saints (+900) - Implied Probability of 10%
OBJ is expected to visit the Saints, and he'd add to a dynamic wide receiver room that already includes Michael Thomas, Chris Olave, and Beckham's best friend and former college teammate, Jarvis Landry.
After joining forces with Landry in Cleveland for a disappointing run, it's possible Beckham Jr. wants to give it another shot alongside his buddy. Jameis Winston doesn't inspire much confidence at quarterback though, and the Saints aren't true contenders.
Does that matter, now that he already has a ring? Perhaps not.
New York Giants (+1300) - Implied Probability of 7.14%
I'll put the Giants on here because of Beckham Jr.'s familiarity with the organization and the fact that he talks to players regularly, but it doesn't seem likely he returns to where his career started.
Odell Beckham Jr. was hanging out with some Giants players today, but he was not meeting with the actual team, according to a source. Nothing happening at the moment between Beckham and the Giants. Beckham isn't expected to be cleared to play until at least November.

New York certainly needs the help after losing Sterling Shepherd for the season and receiving next-to-nothing from Kenny Golladay. Rookie Wan'Dale Robinson and second-year wideout Kadarius Toney are injured too, so Richie James is the Giants' current leading receiver.
If OBJ wants to chase another ring, the Giants don't seem to make much sense. But if he wants to make amends for the way his tenure ended in New York and help revitalize the organization, the Giants could be a fit with Brian Daboll at the helm.
The Field (+2000) - Implied Probability of 4.76%
Perhaps another team rises from the ashes to snag Beckham - Kansas City, anyone? But it seems most likely it'll be one of the clubs on this list. Stay locked into BetSided's NFL coverage and we'll bring you all the latest odds and movement as OBJ picks his new suitor.
