Free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. wants to keep playing. Despite rumors that he might retire, Beckham wrote that he’s “not done yet” on his X account.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported that the former All-Pro receiver has drawn interest from “several teams” and plans to play in 2025. Here are three potential landing spots for the veteran wideout.
Not done yet… thanks for hr concerns and have a blessed day.

How about a reunion?
Beckham’s best years as a pro came with the New York Giants, the team that used a first-round pick to take the LSU product in 2014.
Beckham accumulated four 1,000-yard seasons in five years with the Giants. From 2014 to 2016, Beckham made three Pro Bowl teams and received Second-Team All-Pro recognition twice.
Although it ended poorly in New York, the Giants desperately need another wide receiver. Malik Nabers, who also went to LSU, is already tracking to be one of the league’s best wideouts after a sensational rookie season.
Darius Slayton is a steady second option. After that, Wan’Dale Robinson, Lil’Jordan Humphrey, and Jalin Hyatt are fighting for targets.
Russell Wilson will start the year at quarterback, knowing that rookie Jaxson Dart is waiting in the wings.
If healthy, Beckham could be a reliable pass catcher for both Wilson and Dart.
Beckham also posted a picture of MetLife Stadium, the home of the Giants, on his Instagram account in June.
New York Jets
Practice is over. Some takeaways:
– Hanmer the over on the #Giants win total, the DLine alone is good for more wins than expected.
– Arian Smith is the only receiver at this point making consistent plays worthy of being WR2. Today’s catch only enhanced that notion.
– Definitely…— Nick Faria (@Nick_Faria1720) August 13, 2025
Maybe Beckam returns to MetLife but plays in a green and white jersey.
Similar to the Giants, the Jets have an alpha wide receiver in Garrett Wilson, who recently signed a four-year, $130 million contract extension.
Behind Wilson, the Jets have a serious training camp battle for the No. 2 receiver position.
Josh Reynolds had been the leading candidate for most of training camp due to his budding connection with quarterback Justin Fields.
Nick Faria reported that Arian Smith is the “only receiver” making enough plays to be the No. 2 wide receiver.
Allen Lazard recently suffered an injury that will keep him out for a few weeks.
The Jets need a true second option for Fields. Why not take a gamble on Beckham, a receiver who thrived as the second option on the Super Bowl-winning Los Angeles Rams?

Name a wide receiver on the San Francisco 49ers. Chances are they’ve suffered an injury.
Brandon Aiyuk is not expected to return from a knee injury until Week 6.
Wide receivers Jauan Jennings, Jacob Cowing, and Jordan Watkins have all missed time in training camp with injuries.
At some point, the 49ers need to sign a veteran wide receiver to give Brock Purdy a reliable option.
With Kyle Shanahan calling plays, Beckham could experience a career renaissance in San Francisco.
