Odell Beckham Jr. is expected to sign with the Bills, Cowboys, or Giants sometime next week. He will be in New York meeting with the Giants on Thursday and Friday of this week. Then meet with the Cowboys on Monday, and the Bills after that. Buffalo made a move today to create additional cap space for Odell Beckham. Per Field Yates, the Bills converted $2,971,667 of CB Tre’Davious White’s base salary into a signing bonus. The restructuring has given the Bills $2,228,750 in additional cap space. This positions the Bills to be able to make a competitive financial offer that can be more in line with what the Giants and Cowboys could offer.
I don’t think this move means OBJ is a slam dunk to sign with the Bills. It depends on what Odell’s priorities are. I think it’s money. Last season he won his Super Bowl, but because he took his salary in Bitcoin, it ended up costing him a lot. This is just speculation, but it would make sense for Odell to prioritize money and targets over winning it all. Odell is trying to position himself to get one more payday next off season. Winning is important for Odell, just look at the teams he is considering. They are a combined 23-10, and all three teams would be in the playoffs if they started today.
Today the Bills create cap space for an Odell Beckham Jr. signing. Here are the pros and cons for Odell signing with the Bills, Cowboys, or Giants.
