Green Bay Packers: 5 Players to trade for in 2020 NFL offseason
By Joe Kipp
1. Odell Beckham Jr., WR
A week ago, Sheil Kapadia of The Athletic (subscription required) gave 20 bold predictions for the 2020 NFL offseason. One of his bold predictions was that the Packers would trade for Cleveland Browns star receiver Odell Beckham Jr.:
"(General manager) Brian Gutekunst told reporters after the season that the Packers looked into trading for an “explosive offensive player” at the trade deadline, but it didn’t work out. This offseason is time to revisit those talks and see if they can pair Beckham with Davante Adams."
The 5-11, 198-pound superstar receiver is in the middle of his prime. At just 27 years old, Beckham has already racked up 464 catches for 6,511 yards and 48 touchdowns in 75 games played. He’s recorded over 1,000 receiving yards in five of his six seasons, the only exception being in 2017 when he suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 4. Many consider him to be a generational talent.

Everyone knows the type of ability that Beckham has to offer. Because of that, the Packers would likely have to give up a first-round draft pick at the very least. Additionally, the Browns may look to shop Beckham if the price is right. Cleveland is under new management led by general manager Andrew Barry. And apparently OBJ was telling opposing players to “come get me” at the trade deadline this past season.
