The Green Bay Packers are now 3-3 and are recovering from an embarrassing 27-10 loss to a Jets team that finished 4-13 in 2021. Zach Wilson went 10/18 for 110 yards compared to Rodger’s 26/41 for 246 yards and a touchdown, and making matters worse, Randal Cobb left the game with a gruesome injury and has an unknown status as the Packers prepare to face the Washington Commanders. Against the Jets, the offense could not get going. The Packers are now in desperate need of help at receiver. Matt LaFleur said post-game
“That’s about as frustrating of a game as I’ve ever been a part of from an offensive perspective, just trying to get something going.”
If only a pro-bowl caliber receiver in his prime was available as a free agent, just waiting to be signed.

Odell Beckham Jr is the Answer
Odell Beckham Jr. wants to play with Aaron Rodgers and needs a team to need him. Beckham wanted it to be in LA, but after feeling disrespected by a lowball offer by the Rams, Odell is focused on taking his talents elsewhere. Odell is the puzzle piece this team needs to be successful. While the media and Matt LaFleur blame the offensive line, let’s address the pressing need with a solution. DeVante Adams is gone. Odell Beckham Jr. could be his replacement, eliminating some of the coverage sacks Rodgers has been taking. He was outstanding last year with the Rams, and he’s a big part of why they went to the Super Bowl and won.
Odell began the season unsigned due to an injury sustained in the Super Bowl. It was disrespectful to a guy with multiple rings, pro-bowl appearances, and possibly the most incredible catch in NFL history. When Rodgers throws 22 passes to Tonyan, Jones, and Dillion, it means NONE of his receivers could get open. There are trade options available, but none would have the dramatic impact that Odell Beckham Jr. would have. Odell turns 30 years old this year, potentially having several years of quality football left. He needs to be signed this week, and if he isn’t, Brian Gutekunst should be out of a job next off-season.
If the Packers don't sign Odell Beckham after watching these opening games, then we should pack it in.
We have a world class running combo. Arguably the best special teams in the league. Some of the best defensive players. Along with offensive line-men.
Our WR's need OBJ!

You spelled Odell Beckham Jr wrong.

I think fans agree. Now, it’s past time to give Odell a contract.
