Should Philly make a run at OBJ? Here are two reasons that they should.

1. Talent

We’ve heard about antics more than we would like to. We’ve heard the word diva attached to Odell Beckham Jr’s name on more than one occasion, and to be totally honest, the title’s been a deserved one. OBJ has been blamed for things that are his fault and things that aren’t. One thing we’ve never been questioned has been Beckham’s talent, and talent is a word that we haven’t used in relation to the Eagles for a while.

For his career, OBJ has racked up 447 receptions for 6,281 yards and 46 touchdowns. He’s done that with subpar quarterback play (Eli Manning and Baker Mayfield). His worst seasons have been his last with the New York Giants and his first and only with the Cleveland Browns.

That brings us to Carson Wentz.
