After winning the Super Bowl last season, Beckham is hungry for another victory. The star receiver is the most sought-after player on the free agency market.

Odell Beckham Jr. faces bizarre circumstances
According to the New York Post, Miami-Dade County police said that OBJ appeared in and out of consciousness. The plane’s crew attempted to wake the receiver up to fasten his seatbelt. After allegedly refusing to exit, OBJ eventually deplaned and made his exit. The perks of being a well-paid athlete include being able to afford luxury travel. And that’s exactly what OBJ did post his bizarre experience with American Airlines. The receiver posted two pictures on his Instagram, one featuring himself with the caption, “Not today 😭😭😭!!!!“. Another picture of the interior of the place was captioned, “Back to the regular”. It looks like OBJ will not be flying commercially for a very long time.

Apart from his recent adventures, OBJ has been in the spotlight for a while now. The NFL world is eagerly anticipating news of the wide receiver’s choice of team for the remainder of the season. Currently, OBJ’s attention is being courted heavily by the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants. The receiver has also reportedly had conversations with the Kansas City Chiefs. The Cowboys, in particular, have been very vocal about their desire for Beckham on their squad. Owner Jerry Jones has been singing the receiver’s praises. Apart from that, OBJ’s former teammate Von Miller wants the receiver with him in Buffalo. But the Bills star is currently out after sustaining a knee injury against the Lions on Thanksgiving. Where do you think OBJ is headed? Let us know your thoughts.
