Odell Beckham is already a Hollywood star, so he would fit right in with the Rams in LA. I don’t think in LA the microscope would be as hot as it is in NYC.
But, for now, they are just rumors from NY Daily News.
Odell Beckham Jr. calls Los Angeles home in the offseason and soon he might live there year round.
The L.A. Rams, according to multiple NFL sources, already have talked with the Giants about possibly trading for the dynamic wide receiver and turning him from a Big Apple phenom into a Hollywood star.
The News has learned that the Giants’ asking price in a prospective Beckham trade is starting at a first-round pick plus. The “plus” is the negotiable part, but the meaning is that it likely won’t require two first-round picks to get it done.
The Rams hypothetically could give the Giants their 23rd overall pick in this year’s first round, a later round pick and perhaps wide receiver/kick returner Tavon Austin, who has just one year at an $8 million cap hit remaining on his restructured deal. Austin, 28, is dynamic but didn’t see much action in McVay’s offense in 2017.
The Rams — who, again, were pursuing Beckham even before this week’s drama — easily could have plenty of competition, though, after Giants co-owner John Mara basically invited bidders on Sunday by taking a hard line on Beckham’s behavior and refusing to commit to OBJ being a Giant this coming season.
It looks like Odell Beckham’s time in New York is coming to an end, but there is a big difference between just talking and hypotheticals and pulling the trigger on a deal.
