Although three NFL teams showed interest in acquiring free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., recent reporting suggests that teams may need to wait a bit longer than expected.
Although this report suggests that the Dallas Cowboys are concerned with Beckham’s status, one can only assume that the Buffalo Bills and New York Giants have their apprehensions as well.

Beckham tore his ACL in the 2022 Super Bowl while a member of the Los Angeles Rams.
Many players have fully recovered from ACL injuries in recent memory, and have been able to play similarly to how they did pre-injury.
Beckham is 30 years old, and if he’s able to get back to full strength, could make an immediate impact on a team looking for a boost to their pass-catching core.
Beckham Through The Years
Beckham positively started his career with the Giants.
He was the 12th overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft and made an instant mark on the league.
In his rookie year, Beckham made what is still known as one of the best catches in NFL history.
This catch is on highlight reels everywhere and catapulted him to stardom.
In the next three years, he recorded 288 receptions, 4,122 yards, and 35 touchdowns.
Without injury, Beckham would likely be in talks to be a Hall-of-Fame receiver.
Will Beckham be able to overcome his injury, and attempt to return to his former NFL glory?
We might have to wait until 2023 to find out Beckham’s fate, and ultimately, his future in the NFL.
