How the Seahawks can trade for star WR Odell Beckham Jr this offseason

Pete Carroll and John Schneider have a philosophy of always keeping the competition going. The Seahawks wide receiver room has one star in Tyler Lockett and another one budding in DK Metcalf. What would it take to get another top tier receiving threat to Seattle in Odell Beckham Jr.?

Its no secret that coming into the 2014 draft the Seahawks were really high on Odell Beckham. In the pre-combine process, he was consistently pegged as a late first or even second round talent, right where Seattle was picking. That is right up until the combine where Beckham blew away scouts and executives with a lightning fast 20 yard and 60-yard shuttle and the ability to shake defenders with ease with his route running. Odell ended up being drafted pick number 12 overall in the first round, well before Seattle was on the clock.

Fast forward to 2019, Beckham is with his 2nd NFL team and is having arguably his worst season of his career. Thus far Beckham has been quarterbacked by a player well past his prime in Eli Manning, and a player stuck in an ugly sophomore slump in Baker Mayfield. Meanwhile, Russell Wilson is playing the best ball of his career and is even in consideration for the MVP this year.

Many of Beckham’s frustrations have come from losing. Since coming into the NFL, he has only played one year with a winning record, 2015 with the New York Giants. Seattle meanwhile has not had a losing record since Wilson joined the team in 2012. After being traded this past offseason, Odell told the press that he believes the Giants traded him to Browns “to die.”
