Teams represented at Odell Beckham Jr.'s private workout in Arizona today included the Panthers, Giants, Patriots, Rams, Cardinals, 49ers, Bills, Chiefs, Vikings, Browns and Ravens, per source.
Talked to a few people who attended Odell Beckham's workout. One noted how noticeably muscular Beckham looks now, likening him to a combination of Saquon Barkley and Deebo Samuel. Another said Beckham is simply a gifted athlete and that hasn't changed. Explosion was there.

I guess it depends what we do at tackle.
I think Juju is a shoe in just primarily because he is smart and is getting well versed with the offense. Andy does not flippantly let people go who are good and productive in his offense because of the complexity. The only other threatening WR that we have that knows it even better is Kelce. Moore and Toney are still wet behind the ears yet. BUT if they are disciplined they will get there. [Reply]

It cant hurt to take a look, but someone is gonna overpay... and it won't be us [Reply]
I really don’t see JuJu and OBJ as necessarily an either/or type situation. If you can get JuJu at like 3/36 (which I can’t see the Chiefs going much higher than that) and OBJ on a 1-year deal to regain his value playing with Mahomes, I think the Chiefs would be all over that.
It’s going to depend on what teams are throwing at OBJ. If someone goes nuts and offers him a long term deal, there’s no way the Chiefs are in on that. Or maybe they are? Who knows what they’re thinking. I definitely don’t think Veach is closing the door on anything at this point. [Reply]

We need to go younger and not a brokedick. I’d love to see Buffalo swing for the fences again to watch it blow up in their faces like Von. Sneed might put him back on IR again. I’d rather have Lazard than him. Don’t want DHop either. We can do better, and those aren’t Veach moves. We’re not a WR away from a ring, we just won one. We’re a LT away from owning the league!
I could definitely live with it. But both OBJ and DHop have to understand that they're not going to break the bank coming here. Go to Chicago if you want to get paid but come here if you want to be in contention. Incentive laden deal for OBJ if he picks us and DHop's existing contract at maximum for him we trade for him.

It would be nice to see a young WR that KC could rely on year after year.
But any time there is a quality vet out there it's certainly worth finding out if they are interested in a team friendly deal to chase a ring/rehab their status. [Reply]

We can't trade our OBJ since he isn't under contract. I guess we can sign and trade him, but the Cardinals would have to sign off on him getting 25+ mil a year. [Reply]

A veteran wr buys you time to develop a young WR. That’s what makes thielen or DHop or obj intriguing. I agree with you on the drama queen side, and with DHop I’d prefer to pocket the picks. So thielen looks very very intriguing if that’s the route.
We also can afford to take risks on injured players knowing we can save them for the regular season and win without them. Not ideal but it could save a couple of bucks. [Reply]

We have access to a cheaper Thielen at this point. He goes by Justin Watson. [Reply]

Meh. His entire role is to run the right routes and be in the right place. He doesnt bring value beyond that. He’s decent on the bottom half but he’s nowhere near even a regressing version of thielen. [Reply]
