Did you know Odell Beckham Jr. could have been a New England Patriot last season? You saw how far Patriots got with Josh Gordon so getting OBJ is now the biggest 'what if' of the day. Chris Simms detailed on ProfootballTalk that there were heavily aggressive offers from the New England Patriots last season to acquire the talented wide receiver:
The big thing that I found out toward the end of the year with OBJ is the Giants were going to trade him. I think they were really looking and listening to all offers. You know what really stopped it? (from everything I know from multiple sources) It was because the team that was most aggressive in pursuing him was the New England Patriots...The Patriots were trying to get OBJ all last off-season...I think the Giants got cold feet and said:
Wait...New England wants him? Uh oh, maybe he's better than we thought. Maybe we should just keep him on our own instead of it being thrown in our face and him going to win a Super Bowl with the Pats
Simms continues:
I'm kind of with Glazer. I still think it's a very real possibility.
It looks like this offseason is shaping up to be very interesting.
