‘He’s going to the Chiefs’: Kansas City Chiefs Fans Certain Odell Beckham Jr. Will Sign With Their Team

Chiefs Odell Beckham Jr. decision gets more puzzling by the day

The Kansas City Chiefs were dealt two unfortunate injuries at wide receiver in 2024.

Marquise Brown, who the Chiefs signed to a one-year contract in free agency this spring suffered a shoulder injury in the team’s first preseason game in August. Second-year receiver Rashee Rice sustained a season-ending knee injury in Week 4.

Those issues have contributed to Kansas City’s struggles on offense, though the offensive line has been a major problem, especially in pass protection. Mahomes has taken 35 sacks in 2024, seven more than his previous high for sacks which came in 2021. Those hits have contributed to issues in the passing game, as Mahomes has thrown for 3,348 yards, 22 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions this season.

Fortunately for the Chiefs, the team is set to get Brown back in time for the playoffs. He’ll join rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy and veteran DeAndre Hopkins, who Kansas City traded for in October. The team has added veteran help during the season as they attempt to complete a three-peat. Kansas City added veteran DJ Humphries for help at left tackle in November.

Still, the fanbase thinks the Chiefs could add more firepower to the offense.

On Monday, veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. cleared waivers after the Miami Dolphins released him last week. Chiefs fans on social media think Beckham would be a helpful addition to Mahomes and the offense for the playoffs. And fans noticed a spot opened up on the roster when the Chiefs cut running back and former first-round pick Clyde Edwards-Helaire.
