Sean McVay seems to close the door on an Odell Beckham Jr. reunion

Rams coach Sean McVay addressed the possibility of adding receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to the team's roster, stating that they have not discussed it and are not currently considering this option. Beckham, who played with the Rams in 2021 before suffering a knee injury during Super Bowl LVI, was recently released by the Dolphins and cleared waivers. Although he reportedly has a list of preferred teams, no specific links have been made to any franchise. Beckham has the flexibility to sign with a team at any time, potentially waiting for a strategic opportunity. However, the lack of current interest may suggest a challenge in finding a team, possibly extending into 2025.
