One of the biggest reasons for the Los Angeles Rams‘ success on their path to their Super Bowl LVI victory was the addition of Odell Beckham Jr. He was able to fuel several of the team’s wins down the homestretch of that season scoring five touchdowns in essentially seven games. The postseason is when he really turned it on. He averaged 5.25 catches and 72 yards per game over the four they played including a huge nine-catch, 113-yard performance against the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship game, propelling the team into their second Super Bowl in four seasons.
He was well on his way to winning the Super Bowl MVP, catching 2 passes for 52 yards and catching a 17-yard touchdown, before leaving the game in the second quarter after tearing his ACL.
Is It Time For An Odell Beckham Jr. — LA Rams Reunion
Now, Beckham has been waived by the Miami Dolphins, in what is being called a mutual parting of ways. From the 32-year-old’s perspective, it may be one of his last chances to compete for another Super Bowl.
Beckham has struggled to find playing time in a loaded Dolphins wide receiver room, playing just 13.6 percent of all offensive snaps.
The Rams room is far from filled. Outside of Puka Nacua, their receivers have all struggled for one reason or another. Father time seems to have caught up with Cooper Kupp, Demarcus Robinson injured his shoulder last week against Buffalo, and the rest only play situationally.
Adding Beckham won’t be a 2021 equivalent, it might be the best option available to add a difference-maker to their struggling offense.
Beckham and the Rams seem to have plenty of affection for each other. Beckham wore a shirt last season when his team at the time, the Baltimore Ravens played the Rams, commemorating the Rams’s Super Bowl win in 2021 as a show of respect for his former team.
Given this, Beckham may be amenable to signing a team-friendly contract.
