A new team will likely sign Beckham for the remainder of the year, and he will once again become a free agent in the offseason. Whenever Beckham decides to sign, it could potentially be his last chance to prove that he can stay healthy and play at an elite level.
Before Beckham went unclaimed during the waiver period, NFL Insider Jordan Schultz reported citing sources that he is prioritizing the Green Bay Packers as his top destination.

Beckham on the opposite side of wide receiver Davante Adams and on the receiving end of passes from reigning NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers would certainly be a sight to see.
On Sunday, Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio reported on "Football Night in America" that Beckham wants an opportunity to sign with the Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers or New Orleans Saints.
