In Week 2, 3 of 58 snaps. In Week 3, he logged just 6 snaps, with only 1 pass thrown his way. This just shows he probably wasn\u2019t valued there. Not as much as Malik Nabers, Malachi Fields, Darnell Mooney, Braxton Berrios, and Charlie Jones.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/>Nabers recorded 12 receptions for 96 yards. Mooney recorded 6 receptions for 95 yards. Fields recorded 6 receptions for 74 yards. RB Cam Skattebo recorded 50 carries for 177 rushing yards and 1 rushing touchdown. They all contributed in one way or another. But Odell Beckham Jr.?<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"9\"\/>Maybe did not bring his iconic catch-like abilities to New York. And so, they released him. Immediately after they brought in 2024 draft pick QB J.J. McCarthy from the Minnesota Vikings in an almost blockbuster mid-season trade.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>Now that Beckham is out, Bleacher Report\u2019s Mike Chiari has suggested three landing spots: the Los Angeles Rams, Las Vegas Raiders, and Carolina Panthers. How and why? Let\u2019s find out.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Rams linked to Odell Beckham Jr amid <keyword id=\"15447212\" type=\"General\" weightage=\"20\" keywordseo=\"puka-nacua\" source=\"Orion\">Puka Nacua<\/keyword>\u2019s uncertainty<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Odell Beckham Jr. played for the Los Angeles Rams in 2021, recording 27 receptions for 305 yards and 5 touchdowns in just 8 regular-season games. Along with 21 catches for 288 yards and 2 touchdowns in 4 postseason games. <!-- -->It included 2 catches for 52 yards and 1 touchdown in the Super Bowl win against the Cincinnati Bengals.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>Beckham left that big game with a torn ACL, but the Rams brought home the Lombardi Trophy. Cut to the present, Puka Nacua\u2019s absence is a little concerning. He missed two games with a groin injury.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>Head coach Sean McVay is targeting a Week 4 return, but nothing is guaranteed right now. Except for an available, reliable former wide receiver, AKA Odell Beckham Jr. <!-- -->This would take a heavy load off Davante Adams\u2019 already-loaded shoulders.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Giants WR linked to Raiders amid lack of WR depth<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The Las Vegas Raiders have had all three-week wins, thanks to supposed Tom Brady\u2019s belief in sitting rookie Fernando Mendoza out and letting veteran Kirk Cousins do all the playing. Anyhow, this thrilling start after a 3-14 2025-season record calls for a lot of focus on the Raiders\u2019 wide receivers.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>But unfortunately, it wasn\u2019t the receiving corps that did all the catching; tight end Brock Bowers and running back Ashton Jeanty did all the hard work. <!-- -->As for the current WRs in Las Vegas, Tre Tucker could manage only 11 receptions for 189 yards and 1 touchdown.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/>Neither receiver has more than 5 catches or 52 yards in total in three games. To top it off, Year 2 WR Jack Bech suffered a broken forearm after the Week 3 win over the New Orleans Saints.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/>This definitely screams a vacant spot. The Raiders need to strengthen their receiving corps before the TEs and RBs run out of gas. And who better than someone who\u2019s well-established, available, and reliable? Like former New York Giants wideout Odell Beckham Jr.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"40\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Carolina tied to Odell Beckham Jr amid <keyword id=\"39668321\" type=\"General\" weightage=\"20\" keywordseo=\"jalen-coker\" source=\"Orion\">Jalen Coker<\/keyword>\u2019s injury<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Bryce Young has had an unbelievable start with 939 yards, 7 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. Two WRs, Jalen Coker and Tetairoa McMillan, have been his primary targets in the 1-2 start of the 2026 NFL season. But unfortunately, Jalen Coker suffered a quad strain in the Week 3 loss to the Cleveland Browns.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"43\"\/>As per NFL Insider Ian Rapoport, the quad strain is minor, and Coker\u2019s Week 4 availability is questionable. But this leaves a vacant spot for someone who could provide a stopgap solution. Like Odell Beckham Jr., especially because, apart from Jalen Coker and Tetairoa McMillan, no other WR has recorded more than 4 catches or 83 yards.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"45\"\/>As per Bleacher Report\u2019s Mike Chiari, Beckham could step in for Carolina as Adam Thielen and Hunter Renfrow did in the recent past years. The Panthers lack veteran depth, so that\u2019s exactly where the New York Giants wideout helps.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"47\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Odell Beckham Jr free agency rumors<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"cdatainfo   id-r-component \" data-pos=\"50\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"bottom\"><b>Category<\/b><\/td>\n<td valign=\"bottom\"><b>Details<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"bottom\"><b>Player Name<\/b><\/td>\n<td valign=\"bottom\">Odell Beckham Jr.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"bottom\"><b>Current Franchise<\/b><\/td>\n<td valign=\"bottom\">None.
