NFL star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has officially cleared waivers and can now sign with any team he wants. The former Cleveland Browns receiver was waived last Friday by the team. He was waived in part due to a video his dad posted showing Browns QB Baker Mayfield repeatable not throw OBJ the ball.
Now that
Beckham Jr. has cleared the waiver wire he is free to sign with any team he
wants. OBJ has said that he wants to
sign with a contender. As I listen to
this report from ESPN, they say that two of the teams are the Seattle Seahawks
and the New England Patriots.
My first
thought is why in the world would anyone sign with Seattle or New England? Seattle is 3-5 and plays in what is most
likely the toughest division in football, The NFC West. Seattle has a good receiving corps and an excellent
QB in Russell Wilson, but he is injured and even though he is expected back
soon we do not know how well he play upon return. Seattle finds itself in a deep whole to get
out of if they want to make a run at the post season. Each week it gets harder with the way the
Arizona Cardinals continue to find a way to win. Bottom line is Seattle is not a contender.
The Patriots
are 5-4 and appear to be in a two-team race with the Buffalo Bills for the AFC
East title. QB Mac Jones has not proven
himself as of yet and even if they make it to the playoffs his inconsistent play
will have the team relying heavily on the defense. Even with OBJ on the Patriots they are still
a wide receiver or two way from being a contender.
