3 Wide Receivers the Chiefs Should Target Following Rashee Rice News
By Joe Summers
2. Odell Beckham Jr.
Odell Beckham Jr. is another veteran who could give the Chiefs' receiving group some juice and he's already been tied to Kansas City in the past.
He's got five career 1,000-yard seasons and while injuries have zapped his effectiveness in recent years, though he's still excellent at making contested catches and is a proven contributor when healthy. Beckham Jr. caught 35 passes for 565 yards and three TDs for the Ravens last year, a yards mark that would've been second amongst all Chiefs' wide receivers last year.

The former All-Pro is one of the best receivers in the NFL at tracking deep balls and would likely immediately have the best hands on the team. Even if he's not the superstar he once was, Beckham Jr. can still positively contribute to a winner and give Patrick Mahomes a downfield target when the pocket breaks down.
Beckham Jr.'s asking price was reportedly too rich for the Chiefs last year, but the market seems to have cooled on the former Giant. If Brett Veach can get him for a one-year deal on the cheap, I'd be happy with the signing.
