The Buffalo Bills haven't made any major moves during the early stages of free agency, but that was somewhat expected. 

This year's crop of free agents wasn't as good as its been in past years. 

And outside of replacing a couple of departed free agents, the Bills don't have a plethora of needs. 

One area where Buffalo could use some help is at wide receiver. 

Quarterback Josh Allen could use some more playmakers. And there's a pretty big name available in free agency that's made some ridiculous plays during his career. 

But he also has a lot of question marks. 

We've talked about Odell Beckham Jr for over a year now. OBJ missed the entire 2022 season after tearing his ACL in the Los Angeles Rams' win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI. 

The expectation was that Beckham would sign with a team near the end of the 2022 season for a playoff run. But that never happened as he wasn't 100 percent healthy. 

OBJ is supposedly fully healthy this offseason and ready to go. And the Bills were one of the teams that attended his recent workout. 

NFL insider Jordan Schultz appeared on The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday and he suggested that Buffalo is still the team that makes the most sense for the former LSU star. 

"Buffalo to me, out of all those teams we just talked about, makes the most sense…if you add a healthy Odell Beckham, that offense gets a lot more exciting," said Schultz. 

Schultz also noted that folks with the Rams loved OBJ during his time in Los Angeles. He was reportedly a great teammate and brought a winning attitude to the franchise. 

OBJ got his Super Bowl ring two years ago. But because of his ACL injury, he wasn't fully able to enjoy the moment. You just know he'd love another shot at winning a championship. And the Bills are in a great position to make a run in 2023. Adding OBJ could certainly help accomplish that goal.
