The Kansas City Chiefs’ Pursuit of Odell Beckham Jr.: What It Means for the Team’s Future
The Kansas City Chiefs were reportedly one of the teams interested in signing wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. before he ultimately signed with the Miami Dolphins. This news has sparked interest in the Chiefs’ plans for their wide receiver corps, especially with the looming suspension of Rashee Rice.
According to ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler, the Chiefs were “appealing to” Beckham before he signed with the Dolphins. Beckham was drawn to the Dolphins due to the opportunity to work with head coach Mike McDaniel, who he believes can help him produce on the field.

The Chiefs’ interest in Beckham is not surprising, given their current wide receiver situation. With Marquise “Hollywood” Brown and Xavier Worthy on the roster, the team is still looking to add another weapon to their arsenal. The impending suspension of Rashee Rice has also created a need for additional depth at the position.

The Chiefs have the salary cap space to make a move, and with the list of available wide receivers dwindling, they may need to act quickly to secure a veteran target. D.J. Chark has signed with the Los Angeles Chargers, and Tyler Boyd has been connected to the Tennessee Titans. Zay Jones, Michael Thomas, and former Chief Marquez Valdes-Scantling are still available, but Beckham would have been the most exciting addition to the team.
