Rams still want WR Odell Beckham Jr. back after signing Allen Robinson?

The NFL rich got richer Thursday afternoon when it was learned that the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams had landed one-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Allen Robinson on a three-year deal that could be worth up to $46.5 million and includes $30.7 million in fully guaranteed money. 

It appears the Rams aren't satisfied merely adding Robinson to a passing attack that already included Cooper Kupp and Van Jefferson, and that is set to have Robert Woods make a return from a torn ACL. 

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Rams "still have money left over" to re-sign star receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who initially joined the organization after he and the Cleveland Browns parted ways in November and who played well for his new employer until he went down with a torn ACL in his left knee during the Super Bowl victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. 

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero (h/t Kevin Patra) also says "a Beckham-Rams pairing remains in play despite the Robinson signing." 

Rams general manager Les Snead told reporters earlier this month he'd like to re-sign Beckham but that such a transaction would depend on the recovery timeline of the three-time Pro Bowl selection who has now torn the same ACL twice since October 2020 and who turns 30 years old in November. 

Per Pelissero (h/t Yahoo Sports), Beckham likely won't return to the field before November at the earliest.
