Unless you’ve been completely disconnected from the news and the internet over the last couple days, you’ve probably heard that the Packers are, at the time of me submitting this article for publication (9:03 p.m. on Wednesday evening) considered one of several leading contenders to land the services of former Browns and Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr.
OBJ hasn’t been one of the league’s true elite receivers for at least several years, but he still has commanded quite a lot of interest from fans since it was reported he’d be hitting the waiver wire.
No team quite liked him enough to pick up his hefty contract for the remainder of this year, and with the offsets in his contract, it’s quite likely whoever ends up picking him up will be doing so for the veteran’s minimum while he gets paid the remainder by Cleveland.
