The Buffalo Bills have been linked to free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. for over a year, as superstar edge rusher Von Miller publicly campaigned to get his former Los Angeles Rams teammate to join him in Orchard Park throughout the 2022 NFL season.

Beckham no doubt has the ability to be a difference-maker on a team. He’s recorded 531 receptions for 7,367 yards and 56 touchdowns over the past eight seasons of his NFL career, and he likely would’ve been named Super Bowl MVP had he not gotten injured mid-game. However, due to his age and anticipated rust, it makes sense for suitors to offer him an initial prove-it …read more
