The Buffalo Bills still need more wide receivers.

The offseason trade to acquire DJ Moore from the Chicago Bears was a solid move, but Josh Allen deserves more help. The NFL Draft will provide another chance to add to the depth chart.

But what if the Bills want a fascinating addition with an impressive past?

Well, Odell Beckham Jr. is available.

No, he’s not the No. 1 WR he used to be. But he’s a well-traveled veteran who could likely fill a situational role for the Bills.

This is actually a signing that would’ve made sense during the 2025 NFL season when the Bills were really desperate. Beckham has been a free agent all along, so all Buffalo would need to do is call him up.

There’s no indication that this is in the works, but OBJ’s name is one worth keeping an eye on.

He recently made a sweet catch as part of a flag football showcase, and while that’s by no means the NFL, it showed his hands still work.

“Looking forward to hopefully getting an opportunity to play this year, and hopefully, this is kinda just a starting point,” Beckham told Kay Adams afterward.

Beckham has played in 10 NFL seasons, including his five superstar years with the New  York Giants, which included 5,476 receiving yards on 390 catches with 44 touchdowns.

OBJ also had a 1,000-yard campaign with the Browns as part of three seasons in Cleveland.

And he has since played for the Rams, Ravens and Dolphins.

In the 2024 season in Miami, Beckham played nine games and caught nine passes for 55 yards.

He didn’t suit up anywhere in 2025, but he’s not giving up hope for continuing his career.

The Bills may not be the most likely destination, but maybe they should think about it a little more.
