Former Bengals running back Jeremy Hill has stoked the fire with his comment under Odell Beckham Jr.'s latest Instagram post.

Another fan asked how much help does Burrow need.

Odell could be a good replacement for Higgins.

One fan thinks the Bengals are fine without Beckham Jr.

One fan thinks Beckham Jr. in Cincinnati would have been good years ago.

Where could Odell Beckham Jr. land in 2024?

AFC Championship - Kansas City Chiefs v Baltimore Ravens

The Super Bowl champions Kansas City Chiefs reportedly have an interest in Odell Beckham Jr., according to Daily Mail.

However, with the star receiver wanting big money, it remains to be seen if the Chiefs will want to fork out that kind of money. For reference, Beckham Jr. had a one-year deal last season worth $18 million.

The Chiefs need to upgrade their weapons for Patrick Mahomes and with the signing of Marquise Brown already, adding Beckham Jr. would give them a significant upgrade on offense.

The Bengals also loom as a good destination. But again, money could be the key sticking point.

There isn't expected to be any move for Odell before the NFL draft as teams could easily fix their needs with draft picks, so look for something to happen post-draft with Beckham Jr.

The Chiefs and Bengals seem to be the favorites in what is now becoming an AFC arms race.
