New England Patriots: 5 juicy rumors ahead of 2020 NFL Draft
The Odell Beckham Jr. speculation
The Odell Beckham Jr. trade rumor that just won’t die has him eventually ending up with the New England Patriots.
What better situation to get the discipline and structure he needs than to play on a team coached by Bill Belichick.
As great as a talent as Beckham Jr. is, that trade possibility would’ve been far more attractive had Tom Brady stayed in New England.

Still, if the Patriots are able to pull off a deal to get OBJ, it would take care of one of their biggest needs going into the draft. They would have an explosive wide receiver still in his prime which would take more pressure off N’Keal Harry and allow him to essentially use his second year in the NFL as his rookie season.
Despite the Cleveland Browns being adamant that they are not looking to deal Odell Beckham Jr., getting an offensive guard like Joe Thuney back should interest the Browns.
That would also take the New England Patriots giving up perhaps a third or mid-round pick in a package. Or Bill Belichick could simply be happy to receive a second-round pick back from the Browns for Thuney.
A team starving to win as much as the Browns are, they may just spend high to solidify their offensive line.
The big question is, could that involve Odell Beckham Jr. in some form?
