On Monday, a report by the New York Daily News informed us that the Los Angeles Rams have been in contact with the New York Giants about potentially trading for Odell Beckham Jr. This report emerged one day after Giants co-owner John Mara made it crystal clear that OBJ must be on his best behavior and that the team wouldn’t rule out trading the star receiver.
The idea that the Rams — a team that just traded for two of the league’s top cornerbacks and that is reportedly the favored destination for Ndamukong Suh — could land OBJ is terrifying for every team in the NFC besides the Rams.
Needless to say, Twitter had some strong reactions to the rumor that the Rams could potentially bring in one of the NFL’s best receivers, too.
This would be the trade that truly certifies the #Rams in Los Angeles. They got the coach the needed, now they'd get the star power they so desperately crave in that market. The #Giants, on the other hand, would be idiotic to let Beckham Jr. walk. https://t.co/nDODcZ0msE

The Rams have a better chance of trading for me than Odell Beckham Jr. https://t.co/LusgNzE85e

Kinda seems like the Rams think the biggest market inefficiency in the NFL right now is teams not knowing how to coach millennials https://t.co/YAsRcdJ6o2

If the Rams get Suh and Beckham is there really a reason for the #Seahawks to even compete next year? Vikings, Eagles, Rams, and then the rest of the world….. https://t.co/WbV2hN2phk
