Odell Beckham Jr. has made his desire to return to the Rams very obvious, and the team has reciprocated that interest by publicly saying they want him back in Los Angeles. Yet, here we are two-plus months into free agency still waiting for the Rams to re-sign Beckham.

On Tuesday, Beckham left a comment on the Rams’ Instagram post that once again hints at a possible return for 2022. Here’s a look at the post and Beckham’s comment, potentially suggesting he wants to go back-to-back with the Rams after winning a ring last season.

Beckham tore his ACL in the Super Bowl, which is going to sideline him for some time – possibly even for half the 2022 season. Had he not gotten hurt, the Rams might’ve already re-signed him. Or at the very least, he likely would’ve landed somewhere by now.

The Rams have about $5.3 million in cap space and still want to extend both Aaron Donald and Cooper Kupp, so they’ll need to clear some room if they’re also going to bring back Beckham.

Odell has been posting social media content (entertaining) himself, while he rehabs his second ACL injury on the (same knee) over the last 2 years.

He's a star NFL WR (and he knows it). Regardless, he doesn't have a team attached to his name and it's probably frustrating him a little bit.

Most of us believe Beckham wants to resign with the Rams, but the Rams front office deliberated after his surgery, and likely told his agent (they need to see his rehab progress) before they can discuss real numbers.

His torn ACL has complicated things, likely sidelining him for half of the 2022 season.

The Rams should know better than anyone exactly the condition of Beckham’s knee because according to Ian Rapoport, it was the Rams’ team doctor who performed the surgery.

The procedure went well and it actually corrected an issue from a previous surgery Beckham underwent after he tore his ACL the first time.

It's obvious that any of the other teams interested in Beckham's services feel the same way about his value at this stage of his recovery. This is why he's still an unrestricted free agent and not getting any big time offers.

Until teams start inviting him in for a visit (taking a physical) he's going to have to tough it out over the next 2 months or more.

I'm guessing the Rams have a 50/50 chance of signing him back. Why? Because I believe Odell (like his buddy) Von Miller will jump ship if another playoff contender offers him more money than his market value.

I wouldn't be mad at him if he followed in the footsteps of Von Miller and signs with another top rated playoff team for more dollars than the Rams offer him.
