Giants, Chiefs, Patriots could have interest in 3-time Pro Bowl receiver attempting NFL comeback

The New York Giants, Kansas City Chiefs, and New England Patriots still have a need at wide receiver to address at some point this offseason, and they could explore the possibility of signing a former Pro Bowl playmaker who is eyeing a return to the NFL.

During an interview with Kay Adams at the Fanatics Flag Football on Saturday, Odell Beckham Jr. said he wants to play in the NFL this upcoming season.

"Looking forward to hopefully getting the opportunity to play this year," Beckham said to Adams.

When asked about a potential return to the New York Giants to play with quarterback Jaxson Dart, Beckham seemed to love the idea

"That sounds great," Beckham said on the possibility of playing with Dart. "If that opportunity presents itself, I would love to do that and be excited. He's [Dart is] a good dude."

Beckham hasn't played in the NFL since being released by the Miami Dolphins in the middle of the 2024 season. In his full-time starting role with the Baltimore Ravens in 2023, the 33-year-old tallied 565 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games.

It's clear that Beckham is no longer a high-level starting receiver, but the LSU product could still provide quality depth and experience to a team.

A reunion between Beckham and the Giants would be fun, and New York could also use as many playmakers as possible for Dart.

Kansas City and New England could also be possible destinations for Beckham. The Chiefs lack experience in their receiver group, and Beckham would fix that problem while also being a savvy veteran target for quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

As for the Patriots, Romeo Doubs and Kayshon Boutte can't do it all by themselves as the primary pass-catchers for quarterback Drake Maye. Beckham could step in and make an impact on New England's offense.

Beckham should receive some interest from teams as he attempts a comeback. Though the Super Bowl LVI isn't the elite receicer he once was a decade ago, Beckham can still help a contender or franchise with a young quarterback.
