Sean McVay: Rams haven't made last offer to Odell Beckham Jr.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- After wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. tweeted Wednesday that the contract offer the Los Angeles Rams made to him wasn't reflective of his worth, coach Sean McVay indicated he didn't think that would be the team's final offer.

"LA knows where I wanted to be," Beckham tweeted. "... but they didn't offer me.... ANYthing! So idk what people want me to do, I def kno my worth and what the offer was isn't reflective of that. So it's tough to say that I can come on back even tho I thought I finally found that home !"

Beckham signed with the Rams in November after he was released by the Cleveland Browns. During the postseason, Beckham had 21 catches for 288 yards and two touchdowns before tearing his left ACL during Super Bowl LVI.

"I love Odell," McVay said. "We have constant dialogue. He also knows that certainly I don't think that's the last [offer] that would come from us. I'm not familiar with what it is. He knows how we feel about him. We've got a little bit of time.

"But [I] love Odell. Nothing but good things coming from me."

The Rams still have a nameplate in the locker room of their practice facility for Beckham. The Rams have not been quiet about their desire for Beckham's return. In September, during a news conference, cornerback Jalen Ramsey brought up the receiver in one of his answers and then paused to say, "Odell, come back."

Glad he's their problem

I sure do miss the days before free agency

I enjoy watching games from the 60's and early 70's

Artificial turf ruined football just as much

I’m tired of hearing about OBJ. Nobody has received more media attention and hype than him, especially when the production doesn’t nearly match.

"Their problem"? He's not on their roster. And when he was there he sure did help.

Yep - I knew nothing about the movie when I saw it and it was unexpected and very good.

Pit, Here's a quote or two from Fates post

I feel that's why he's their problem

I remember Landry saying come here bro !

I'm done with obj talk

I still have no idea how a UFA that isn't on their roster is their problem.

Because they want him to be, but they are having a problem getting him back on the roster.

He is whining and tossing them under the bus because they didn't respect him enough (offer enough money).

Does that help clear it up for you?

Well what is said in the media by GM's and HC's is not always fact is it.... The Browns wanted Landry back right? They siad publicly that wanted another player to be their guy. I'm sure there are dozens of examples of players from many teams where one thing was said, but actions and offers proved otherwise. I don't think OBJ is a distraction for them at all, or a problem. Let the dust settle and then see what happens.

Why are we worried about OBJ/ Seems that is the Rams problem. It sure isn't ours.

No because no matter how hard you try to make it an issue, it isn't one. Just because some writers pick up on something a UFA says doesn't make it a problem. OBJ won't even be able to play until December. As of now it's a non issue. Here's a guy whining about what's going on two months before he can even play. That's not a story worth writing, reading or giving any importance to.

Ward and Clowney ruled out against the Pats.

He is not a member of the Rams so how is OBJ simply running his mouth make him their problem?

It's a figure of speech. If you can't figure that out, that's your problem.

Ohh. Mr. Nasty!

So you speak for both the Rams and OBJ.

How do you find the time to dazzle us here as well?

He isn't on their team. Who is only here to fight again?

I answered your question on why it is their problem, but you need to find a different argument. Today must end in "y"

You made up some concocted answer. Or are you saying other teams don't have players out in the FA market they would like to sign? He can't even play for two months and isn't on their roster so he's not "their problem". Just because some diva WR says something on social media or shoots his mouth off to some reporter it doesn't make that a problem.

I answered your question.

Man, I wish we could get OBJ back. I think he is going to either stay in LA or go to GB, though.

No doubt that Watson would find him and feed him more often than the last time he was in Cleveland.

Article aside.....When did Wilson end up looking like the love child of Uncle Jesse from Full House and Prince?

He's got a different look now, but the guy is in love w/himself. I personally can't stand the guy. Reports of him having an office instead of being w/his team in the locker room tell a lot about the guy. So glad he did not end up here.

j/c...

Great fit for the Shanahan offense.

Carolina is on the clock lol

Quick Berry offer them a 7th round pick for Derrick Brown

That would be nice. Brian Burns is another excellent defender.

I am hoping someone wants to trade for D'Ernie. I would like to get something, and I kept him in a keeper fantasy league hoping he would get traded and go on to be a key player for another team.

j/c:

Getting McCaffrey is a good move for SF. This will enable them to stop using Debo in the backfield, which is something he wasn't keen on anyway. It also gives their QB another guy to dump the ball off who can take a short pass and turn it into a huge play. It's going to be hard for defenses to account for both McCaffrey and Debo. Their defense is banged up right now, but it is one of he very best units in the league when healthy.

I don't think a team will give up anything for Johnson, but the Browns should be on the horn with Rams to try and send them Hunt. He's gone after this year. Might as well get something in return in a season that is headed down the tubes anyway.

Agree with your thoughts on Johnson's value, which is a shame because after last season he might've gotten us something in a trade - especially since we knew Ford was his replacement. Frustrating. He's a good back and a serviceable returner.

As far as Hunt goes......I'm not sure we should be looking to shed ourselves of one of our biggest offensive weapons at this point (even though it seems we don't use him properly some of the time). The Browns need talented playmakers who are difference makers on both sides of the ball. I'd like to see Hunt here until the end of the season - I'm thinking we're going to need to put up a lot of points on the board to keep up with any team let alone win games. Hunt, if used properly and consistently as a receiver as well, can only help us in that regard.

imo

With the first pick of the 2023 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers select Bryce Young QB Alabama.

Hey, maybe they'll give us some pics to take Baker back?

Though that would be the thought process of most fans, drafting Young before they fix the offensive line is like just flushing money down the toilet. I don't care how good he's projected to be, with Carolina's line he will fail - guaranteed. Keep in mind, he's never played behind a line that couldn't protect him. Why people believe QB's can change their fortunes without addressing the line first is just mind boggling to me. The Panthers selecting Young without a total overhaul of that o-line (except for the rookie OT) is a recipe for failure for Young or any QB they draft.
