The pending Aaron Rodgers trade seems to have an impact on players all over the NFL, not just in Green Bay or New York. Whether due to salary cap reasons, draft capital, or simply players preference, once the trade becomes official, many other dominos will seemingly fall. One of those dominos is a Super Bowl champion wide receiver. It is being reported as a “done deal” signing once Aaron Rodgers is officially a member of the New York Jets.
Odell Beckham Jr. Signing With The Jets Is A “Done Deal”
According to Jason Burgos:
Recent reports claimed the New York Jets were a strong favorite to land the top receiver left on the market. However a pair of news bits this week confirmed that fact, but with a caveat.
First, ESPN NFL insider Dan Graziano reported that “Beckham Jr. has offers on the table from multiple teams, and I am told the Jets are the most likely landing spot but that Beckham could be waiting to make sure the Aaron Rodgers deal gets completed before finalizing his own decision.”
Graziano also added that the Baltimore Ravens have also made a strong push. But, fellow ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler added to that report with some intel of his own.
“The feeling is the Jets remain a viable contender, depending on the price point. A few people I spoke to believe Rodgers is the quarterback with whom Beckham wants to play.”
Beckham’s reported original asking price of $20 million per season has allegedly dropped over the last week to a place the New York Jets will likely be much more comfortable with.
Aaron Rodgers has praised Odell Beckham Jr. over the years. He has made it clear that he would one day love to team up with the veteran wide receiver. With Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, and Corey Davis already members of the New York Jets, adding OBJ could be massive for their offense. It would be just one more piece the Jets brought in to appease their future star quarterback.
