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.
The market is not trending upward. If he wants to play (starting spot available) and he wants to win, the Chiefs are an excellent choice. Again, 2 years/$20 million would be acceptable, but I wouldn't do ANYTHING over that. [Reply]

This all day long.
I'm actually getting to the point that I believe this is going to happen, and based on everything else cap wise, I think a two year deal would be perfect for the Chiefs and OBJ.
Look, he's not Tyreek Hill but in this offense I think I think he could put up huge numbers with everything else we have going on. I can't imagine how much fun it would be watching him take in passes from Mahomes. [Reply]

The only issue would be making sure he isn't an asshole. He's going to have accept the touches Pat gives him and that's that. If he isn't cool with that, he can kindly **** off. [Reply]
I think Veach has to be planning on bringing in him or Hopkins. I have a hard time believing we roll with what we have plus an additional 1 or 2 rookies. The veteran options are drying up... [Reply]

IDK, man.
They don't wanna pay OBJ more than 4M, you think they're jumping at the chance to pay Hopkins $18m?
And then when i thought about it today, the Chiefs, outside of when we had Tyreek, have kinda always sucked at WR.
We gotta remember that Reid once went into the season with Jason Avant, AJ Jenkins, Donnie Avery and the corpse of Dwayne Bowe.
IIRC, was that the infamous "No TD's to WR's" year? [Reply]

Maybe they're going to do the WR room like they did the secondary last year. Who knows? I mean the young guys need reps to get better; look at Christian Watson last year. [Reply]

Maybe.
Lots of time between now and camp. There isn't a position group on the team that's in as bad of shape as the WR group. They don't even have the numbers right now, let alone the talent. It's a group that's seemingly been in decline for 3 straight years now.
My biggest fear is hitting refresh on CP and seeing a "Jarvis Landry to the Chiefs" thread title. [Reply]

The Ross boys will both be all pros!!! Bank on it! [Reply]
