NFL Analyst Doubles Down on Steelers Signing Odell Beckham Jr.

The belief that OBJ fits the Pittsburgh Steelers is strong.

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers only have four wide receivers on their roster at the moment, and one ESPN NFL analyst is pushing the narrative that the team should sign Odell Beckham Jr. 

Dan Orlovsky went on Get Up earlier in the week and made his case for the Steelers to sign Beckham Jr. to a deal. 

"One, organizational structure, and the head coach knows what he’s doing. There’s a standard, a culture, an everyday expectation he’s gonna walk right into," Orlovsky said about the Steelers signing OBJ. "Two, cheap quarterback with Kenny Pickett right now, you’re trying to build around that because he is cheap and you’re trying to get him to play as well as possible."

Now, he's back to keep that narrative strong. During an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, Orlovsky doubled down on his belief, stressing once again that Pittsburgh is the best landing spot for the former Pro Bowler.

Orlovsky believes there are two groups of teams who can go after Beckham Jr. in free agency. The first is the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills-like teams that could use OBJ to get over the hump offensively. 

Then, there are the younger teams, which Orlovsky believes the Steelers and Green Bay Packers fit that bill.

"The reason I said Pittsburgh is, you can't compete unless you're explosive offensively in the AFC. You don't have a chance," Orlovsky said. "So, you've got an organization that's rock solid. Head coach is a stud. You've got a cheap quarterback. Then, if you roll that offense out there with Diontae Johnson, [Pat] Freiermuth, [George] Pickens, Najee [Harris], and then Odell."

"Pretty good team," McAfee follows. 

The Steelers did not send anyone to Beckham Jr.'s private workout, but that doesn't mean they have no interest. 

As of right now, their wide receiver room consists of just Diontae Johnson, George Pickens, Calvin Austin and Gunner Olszewki. So, adding a veteran could be on their list this offseason.
