After tearing his ACL for the second time during the Rams’ Super Bowl game against the Bengals, Beckham was not expected to return until the second half of the season. According to Sportsnaut’s Jason Burgos, many teams remain interested in Beckham despite his condition.
“However, if healthy, he is seen by many as the sort of talent that could make a major impact in a run to the playoffs and potentially the Super Bowl,” Burgos wrote. “Much like he did for the Los Angeles Rams last season when he joined the team in November.”
We all know he is going to the Bills.
They are calling him constantly and they‘re desperate to win against the Chiefs.— Kat (@Kat88174996) October 6, 2022
On Thursday, Spears asked Beckham in a tweet to join his favorite team, the Cowboys.
“Say @obj go to dallas and Make me happy bruh!!! I’m tired of being silent I’m laughing but I’m serious ASF,” Spears said.
The tweet unexpectedly received a reply from Beckham.

Twitter NFL community went into a frenzy with fans asking Beckham to sign with their favorite team.
Beckham’s other interests
Beckham has also expressed his interest in playing with other players in the past. According to ESPN’s Jeff Darlington, Beckham said he “would like to play together at some point” with Tom Brady.
“Two, three years ago there was a whole speculation and all that was going on and I was willing and ready to go over there at any point in time,” Beckham said. “That was always a dream of mine to play for Tom Brady — Tom Brady and [Bill] Belichick.”

Beckham called Brady “the greatest quarterback of all time” and gave him goat-haired shoes to honor him.
“Yeah, you know like I say, Tom Brady is the G.O.A.T.,” Beckham said. “I know we’ve done some goat cloning, and I think there’s something going on. He’s not human that he’s playing the way he’s still playing. He’s mentally prepared every single game, decisive decisions. He knows how to manage a game. He plays offense and defense with the way that he plays.”
By the way, Brian Daboll was asked today if he could categorically shut down any Giants interest in Odell Beckham Jr. He didn’t. pic.twitter.com/kXYvLJB30R

Aaron Rodgers is also interested in playing with Beckham. During his appearance in “The Pat McAfee Show,” Rodgers was asked about the possibility of playing with OBJ.
“Obviously with a player like that you’re always hoping there’s a time where you can figure things out and play together,” Rodgers said.
Beckham felt the same way about Rodgers. The 29-year-old receiver expressed his appreciation for Rodgers’ talent by calling him “lit” in a tweet.
“Honestly bro makes it look Effortlesss,” Beckham said about Rodgers’ performance in Green Bay’s overtime win against the New England Patriots.
