Patriots react to potentially adding Odell Beckham Jr.

FOXBORO — As they prepare for the Browns this week, the Patriots have repeatedly stressed the need to play physically by saying they must “put on their hard hats” Sunday.

On Wednesday, with speculation swirling the front office might sign free-agent wideout Odell Beckham Jr., a few players put their GM hats on instead.

Here’s what Mac Jones, Devin McCourty and Nelson Agholor had to say about potentially becoming teammates with Beckham.

Mac Jones

“I think he’s a great player, and he has a choice to make. And that’s up to him. Yeah, that’s pretty much it.”

“We have really good receivers here, and anybody that wants to help us win is obviously a benefit to the team. I’ll obviously leave that up to coach Belichick. … I know for a fact he always wants people that will come here and help us win.”

Nelson Agholor

“I think he’s an amazing player. I think he’s an absolutely special talent, and I wish him the best. I love the receivers we have here, and it’s not my position to worry about that. But I wish him well, and I know that at the end of the day, whoever takes him, he’s going to do his job. And I wish him well, because he’s a good player.”

Devin McCourty

“Really good player. I feel like whatever I say will be like (a) headline: McCourty says blah, blah blah about Odell Beckham joining the Patriots. Really good player, played him a couple times. Have had a couple conversations, seems like a great guy. I’m guessing everyone will be looking at Twitter when he makes a decision. … So I’ll be waiting for one of you guys to tweet, and I’ll see it.”
