It looks like the Odell Beckham Jr. sweepstakes have narrowed down to five teams, and three of them are officially set to meet with the three-time Pro Bowler very soon.
Usually, at this point in the season, there are few chances for a contending team to add an impact player that could feature in a major role for upcoming playoff runs. The NFL trade deadline has long passed and notable players are not up for grabs in free agency. Well, this year is a little different because a former Pro Bowler and a key player from the recent Super Bowl-winning roster is available.
Odell Beckham Jr. is in the final stages of his rehabilitation from off-season ACL surgery. After being an important part of the Los Angeles Rams title run last season, teams are well aware of the major difference maker the 30-year-old can be when healthy. That is why he is garnering a ton of interest from contending teams around the league.

The Baltimore Ravens — like the Giants — are one of the contenders that could benefit the most from the wideouts signing because of their lack of game-breaker talents in their wide receiver rooms. However, Beckham Jr. joining the Buffalo Bills or Kansas City Chiefs offenses would certainly make them the AFC favorite heading into the playoffs.
