The Bucs didn't acquire anybody before the trade deadline, despite suffering multiple injuries on offense and needing more star power at the receiver position.

According to NFL insiders Dov Kleiman and Albert Breer, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Green Bay Packers, Buffalo Bills, LA Rams and Kansas City Chiefs have all shown interest in Odell Beckham Jr.

Through the first eight games of the season, the Bucs are 3-5, while Brady has had a decent season.

He's thrown for 2,267 yards, nine touchdowns and one interception with a passer rating of 93.1. Mike Evans is the leading receiver with 577 yards and Chris Godwin is No. 2 with 367. Running back Leonard Fournette is third with 273 receiving yards.

Julio Jones, Godwin and Evans have all missed some time this season due to injuries and a suspension for Evans. The Bucs are looking to improve offensively, and as a team, a veteran like Beckham Jr. could be an impactful player later in the season as they look for a playoff run.

Odell Beckham Jr injury update

It seems like the wide receiver is still a way away from stepping onto the field. Beckham Jr. left the Super Bowl in the second quarter with a knee injury and did not return. He suffered a torn ACL after scoring the game's first touchdown.

According to Bleacher Report, ESPN analyst Adam Schefter appeared on ESPN Radio's "Keyshawn, JWill and Max" in September and said that the wide receiver likely won't take the field until a little after Thanksgiving.

He could return a few weeks after Thanksgiving or could return as late as the postseason. There haven't been any recent updates regarding the status of his knee in the past few days. The teams that are interested in OBJ did touch base with him about the status of his knee.

Last season, he recorded 44 receptions for 537 yards and five touchdowns in the regular season. He recorded 21 receptions for 288 yards and two touchdowns in the postseason with the Rams on their way to helping them win the Super Bowl.

Beckham Jr. willl be a good addition later in the year for whichever team he signs with.
