Von Miller says he wants his 'brother' Odell Beckham Jr. to join the Bills
Can you imagine what bringing on Odell Beckham Jr. would do for the already Super Bowl-favorite Buffalo Bills? His friend and former teammate with the Los Angeles Rams, Von Miller, certainly knows what OBJ can bring to the table for Buffalo, and of course, it would be a great situation for Miller, OBJ, and the Bills.
It's a rare win-win-win, and Miller, talking to Pat McAfee and his crew, didn't shy away from the fact that he'd love to see OBJ on the Bills sometimes soon.
"It's a tough situation for me because he's not just a guy, some colleague around the league I want to get on my team. I don't think blood even could make us any closer. So, of course, I want him on my team, and of course, I'm doing everything in my ability to make him feel comfortable with the Buffalo Bills," Miller said (h/t Bleacher Report).
A true friend knows that just because something looks like the best fit on paper, that doesn't mean it's always the right way to move forward, though. It would probably be great for Miller to get to once again play with the man who he said is blood, but he's a good enough friend to know that even if that's not the case, he simply just wants the best for OBJ and his family.
"At the same time I'm his brother too, and I want him to make the best decision for Odell, and for his son, and for his mom and his family. In my personal opinion, I feel like that's best decision is with [the Bills]. But at the end of the day, you've got to separate business and family," Miller continued.
It sounds like if OBJ chooses to go somewhere else as a free agent -- the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs, and Los Angeles Rams are all other options -- Miller will support that decision.
Still, can you imagine what Beckham Jr. could bring to the table that already features Josh Allen at quarterback and a bevy of weapons around him? That's a list that includes Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis, Devin Singletary, and Dawson Knox among others.
The Bills already have the top offense in football, putting up an incredible 430.6 yards and 29 points per game.
Beckham Jr. is coming off another ACL injury but he proved last season with the LA Rams that he can be a major contributor to a Super Bowl run. If he can even be half as effective as he was last season for the Rams, he could be the piece that finally pushes Buffalo over the edge.
And if that was the case, you know Miller would be ecstatic. Even if not, though, it's cool to see competitors at the highest level still having each others' back as friends no matter what they decide to do on the field.
