Ronald Martinez/Getty ImagesThe NFL's legal tampering period in free agency opened on Monday and the New England Patriots may have some interest in free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. after they attended his workout last week. On Monday's Felger and Mazz, Felger gave his thoughts on one-handed catches since Beckham Jr. loves to make one-handed catches.

One-handed catches? Felger has no use for them
Felger: One thing I do have no use for.....so, you know, [Odell Beckham Jr's] workout last week, they had video of it, they have clips of it, but all the one handed catches that he does.
Jim Murray: Weeee!
Felger: "Oh WEEEE! Oh WEEEE! Did you see the one handed....WEEEE! Did you see him snag that one? Oh, my God, That's so cool. WEEEE! Oh, he catches it with one hand! Backhand! Oh, my God, that's so unbelievable. I can'r believe he does that.! Look at this clip. Look at this clip! Oh my god! Oh my God! Look. WEEEE! Look at him catch it one handed!....Could I not care less? I actually hate that. Oh, my God. Catch it with two hands. What do those one handed snags do for me? What does that do for me? How often does that come up in the course of a game or a season?
Mazz: Once a week.
Felger: Less, way less.
Jim Murray: When was that catch, by the way? Nine years ago.
Mazz: It was a long time ago.
Felger: Who cares about that? Does he get open and catch the ball? But, "WEEEE! Did you see the one-handed catch with the Giants! Oh my god that was so awesome! It's same same guy that watches the slam dunk. "Oh, my God. You see that dunk?" Yeah, I saw that dunk. The giant man who put it in? Yes. Yeah, I saw the dunk. I got it. And I saw the one handed catch, too. Neat. It just counted six points like everything else. If you caught it with two hands, it would have counted the exact same. It does nothing for me. Nothing. Zero. So in his workout, he's snagging balls by the left hand, right hand, one hand. Like, "Oh, my God, that's so cool". Oh, I don't care. I don't care.
