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.
It is funny to see all these players jumping at the NY Jets with the intention that Aaron Rodgers is going to be their QB. Green Bay could mess with so many FAs at this point by keeping him one more year and saying the Jets offer just wasn't good enough. [Reply]

Yeah, the Jets have some avenues to create room but also would need to make room to add Aaron Rodgers, too.
I just don't think they can come in and double-up KC's money. Maybe offer him a bit more, but not substantially more (and shoot, he's clued in on taxes apparently.... point out the tax rate differences between Missouri and New York). [Reply]

It goes to show you how stupid Green Bay is that all these dudes wanna play with Rodgers and they never even tried to sign anyone. [Reply]
I dont see any room for OBJ on the Jets, even after they dump Corey Davis.
Wilson is the clear #1, they paid Lazard at the top of the FA market. At the least he is a well paid #2. Mecole got decent money too so he's in the mix as a 3-4.
OBJ going to be a 3-4 also? I dont think so...
They dont even have Rodgers locked up yet?
OR he could come here and be #1.
We know he likes the big market so they have that, we know he and Rodgers are buds so they have that too.
We have Mahomes, Andy and the best chance at a Superbowl! [Reply]

It doesn't work that way, teams mix and match WR all the time now they'd have 4 guys that can play and be used in different spots for what suits them. [Reply]

It's a lot of mouths to feed and a lot of resources in one offseason no matter how you put it.
And this is a team that's still going to run the football a lot more than a team like the Chiefs or Bills. [Reply]

Just feels like overkill for a team with other needs.
Meh. Wilson and OBJ would be their WR1 and WR2. Lazard could be 3 and play in the slot or back up OBJ, or both. Or put Hardman there. Not sure Lazard is a big upgrade over Hardman in any particular way, certainly Hardman has a huge edge in speed and the ability to generate TDs in the RZ. [Reply]

Again, you're missing the point. They just paid Lazard like a guy who's going to be a WR2, not a fucking backup. [Reply]
