The Facts: Sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport that Beckham is targeting the middle of November for his return to the field, meaning an imminent signing would be a major surprise. Any team could lock Beckham up now and take him through the final stages of rehab, but a later signing is far more likely.
Diehards Line:
It also sets up a situation in which Beckham could trigger a feeding frenzy in November as the only top player at his position available at a time when the Nov. 1 trade deadline will long have passed. In other words, for the second year in a row, Beckham will have his late-season suitors. The Bucs, Packers, Bills and Chiefs have all been discussed as possible suitors for Beckham, though how much money the wide receiver warrants on a multi-year deal could rule out some of the possibilities. The Rams have said all along they'd be interested in re-signing him. Sounds like things will heat up at some point. We'll be watching for more.
