Odell Beckham Jr. isn’t coming back to the Los Angeles Rams. Most fans have realized that for several weeks, watching their team lose five games in a row and fall rapidly out of playoff contention.
With Cooper Kupp out and Matthew Stafford still sidelined, there’s no chance Beckham is returning to the team he helped win a Super Bowl last season. The Rams are admitting that themselves now.
Up until this week, the Rams had been holding a locker open for Beckham, keeping his nameplate on the wall in the team’s headquarters in Thousand Oaks. But now, that nameplate is gone.
The locker that has had Odell Beckham Jr’s name on it at the Rams’ training complex since last season is now blank again. They are no longer saving OBJ’s spot.

Beckham still hasn’t decided on a team and has set up visits with the Giants, Bills and Cowboys, but the Rams are out of the running. It’s felt that way for a few weeks, too, especially after Beckham called them out for offering the “lowest of low” deals to him.
Beckham’s time with the Rams was brief, but it sure was impactful. Had he not signed with them last season, they may not have been crowned world champions.
