The 2021 NFL season has been a wild ride for Los Angeles Rams star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. After being released by the Cleveland Browns, he has turned his career back around with an impressive showing for L.A. Looking ahead to his upcoming free agency, could he actually end up signing with the Arizona Cardinals?
One thing is for sure, which is the fact that Beckham has completely revamped his free agency value. After losing most of his value with the Browns, Beckham is once again looking like a true playmaker. That alone will have teams intrigued by the idea of signing him this offseason.
While considering potential options for free agents this offseason, one writer suggested that the Cardinals could be a potential landing spot for Beckham this offseason.
Since joining the Rams and being the second fiddle to Cooper Kupp, he has had quite the impact in recent weeks. Pairing him with DeAndre Hopkins, who is tight with Beckham, would be deadly. He offers a more versatile set of routes than Green and is certainly better. The Cardinals have a lot of areas to address this offseason, but they wouldn’t go wrong by adding Beckham.
Beckham and Hopkins would become arguably the most dangerous one-two punch in the entire NFL. And can you imagine the field day that Kyler Murray would have working with those two guys?
The Cardinals have already boasted an incredibly high-powered offense. While head coach Kliff Kingsbury has received some heat from his team’s rough end to the season, his offense would be insane with Beckham in town. This is absolutely a destination that will be a sleeper, but should be considered.
In the eight games Beckham played with the Rams in the regular season, he racked up 27 receptions for 305 yards and five touchdowns. Through his two playoff games with the team, he has caught 10 passes for 123 yards and a touchdown.
That production came with Cooper Kupp putting up a historical season for a wide receiver. Odell Beckham Jr. is playing second fiddle, and he is playing it perfectly.
Expect to see quite a few teams come calling for Beckham this offseason. The Cardinals should absolutely be one of them.
