Odell Beckham Jr. remains a free agent as he is recovering from ACL surgery, and the star wide receiver is keeping a close eye on what teams are doing around the NFL. He seems particular excited about one big trade that was made on Monday.

Beckham believes the Indianapolis Colts made a great decision by trading for Matt Ryan. He tweeted early Tuesday morning that he thinks Ryan will do something “special” with his new team.

Some will say that is Beckham’s way of trying to pitch his services to the Colts. That’s certainly possible, though the Los Angeles Rams are trying to re-sign him even after making a big splash at the wide receiver position in free agency.

The Colts nearly made the playoffs last season with Carson Wentz, and Ryan should be a significant upgrade over him. It won’t be that hard for Ryan to elevate the Colts to a level above where they were with Wentz. Whether or not the 36-year-old accomplishes something “special” remains to be seen.
