Pro Bowl wideout Odell Beckham Jr. is heading to Los Angeles after being released by the Cleveland Browns earlier this week. Beckham opted to join the Rams, inking a one-year deal with the franchise.

Reportedly, Beckham was approached by a number of teams in recent days, with the New Orleans Saints, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Green Bay Packers emerging as the favorites for his signature. Still, the always-aggressive Rams swooped in at the last moment and managed to add another weapon to their offense.

The Rams officially confirmed the deal on their social media on Thursday.

Beckham arriving in LA has already got his teammates excited, with the quarterback Matthew Stafford being particularly pleased to have the three-time Pro Bowler playing by his side.

“It’s an opportunity for us as a team, it’s an opportunity for him to come in here and prove himself to us. What our room is about in the receiver room is pretty special. I know he’ll fit right in and continue to get better and hopefully help us as a team,” Stafford said.

Odell Beckham Jr. spent the last two and a half years with the Browns but struggled to mesh with the team’s quarterback Baker Mayfield. That was particularly on display this season which saw Beckham managing only 17 catches for 232 yards in six games.

Beckham became disgruntled in Cleveland and reportedly wanted to be moved ahead of the NFL trade deadline. His father tried to speed things up by posting a video on social media that saw Mayfield continuously failing to get the ball to Beckham. While this didn’t get Beckham traded, it signaled that he and the Browns had no future together and prompted the organization to release the LSU product.

It’s safe to say that Odell Beckham Jr. didn’t live up to his reputation as one of the game’s best wideouts since joining the Cleveland Browns in 2019. His father, Odell Beckham Sr., believes this is because the Browns’ quarterback Baker Mayfield ignores Beckham Jr. during games.

Beckham Sr. recently made his opinion public by sharing a video on Instagram that shows all the times that his son was wide open, but Mayfield decided not to pass him the ball. The video also showcases plays that saw Mayfield targeting and missing Beckham Jr. due to overthrows or bad ball placement.

Beckham Sr. also didn’t hesitate to be active in the comments section by giving a stamp of approval when one fan wrote that Mayfield is “either hating on Odell or he just doesn’t want him shining.”

Later that day, Ohio native and NBA superstar LeBron James also added to the controversy when he showed his support to Odell Beckham Jr. on Twitter by writing that “OBJ will show again why he’s special.” He also added #FreeOBJ as part of the post, seemingly calling the Browns to trade Beckham.

Reportedly, Cleveland doesn’t intend to move Beckham Jr. before the NFL’s trade deadline despite the 28-year-old’s limited impact. They did receive some offers for the wideout lately, but neither made sense for the organization, according to ESPN’s Dianna Russini.

Beckham played six games in 2021 and has 17 catches for 232 yards on 34 targets. He is yet to score a touchdown this season.

It feels like Odell Beckham Jr. was involved in some kind of trade rumors ever since he joined Cleveland Browns last offseason. And while we can read a new report about Beckham’s potential exit almost every week, Browns, to their credit, remain fairly consistent in denying them.

New Browns’ general manager Andrew Berry addressed the Beckham trade rumors most recently during his Wednesday appearance on Good Morning Football, saying that the team sees the veteran wideout as a “long-term member of the organization.”

“With all due respect to the question, I think this is actually a topic, at least from our perspective, there really hasn’t been a ton of ambiguity,” said Berry on Wednesday. “We’ve been clear from the beginning that we view Odell as a fantastic player. We’re a better team with him on the field. We see him as a long-term member of the organization.”

Browns sent a first-round pick (No.17) last year to New York Giants for Odell Beckham, hoping he will make a dynamic WR duo with Pro Bowler and former UCLA teammate Jarvis Landry. Beckham ended up having a solid season but was far from spectacular, catching 74 passes for 1,035 yards and four touchdowns.

Shortly after the season ended, reports surfaced that Beckham was reportedly unhappy with his role in the offense and wanted out. The 27-year-old was linked with several NFL teams since then, and there were talks that Cleveland even discussed trade packages with Minnesota Vikings.

Despite all of this, however, Beckham remained a Brown.  And, if we are to trust Berry, this will also be the case for a foreseeable future.

Cleveland Browns are having a disappointing 2019 considering how high their expectations were before the start of the season. Browns are currently 6-7 and would need a miracle to get to the playoffs. To make things even worse, rumors say that their star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr wants out.

Beckham was cagey about his future in Cleveland when asked about it in early December, and several reports since then claimed that the 27-year-old wideout is actively attempting to leave the Browns. However, his teammate and friend Jarvis Landry say this is not true.

Landry, who was also Beckham’s teammate at LSU during their college days, said on Thursday that OBJ “is not trying to leave” the Browns.

“It’s not even about trying to go somewhere else, for him,” – said Landry. “He’s been a leader. He’s a guy that comes to work every day. He’s a guy that’s played through injuries. All of the things you want out of a player.”

“Inside this organization he has a voice, he has a responsibility to himself to all of us to go out there and compete each and every Sunday. And he does that. So he doesn’t want to leave and he’s not trying to leave.” – he added.

Odell Beckham joined Cleveland Browns from New York Giants in a blockbuster trade in March. He was expected to be a big centerpiece in Browns’ playoff run, but things didn’t work out that way. Cleveland is playing on a disappointing level considering their talent, and Beckham has one of the worst years in his career.

In 13 games in 2019, Beckham has 59 receptions for 844 yards and only two touchdowns. He also failed to get to 100 receiving yards in the last seven games, the longest stretch in his career.

New York Giants fans were not happy to see wideout Odell Beckham Jr. being traded to Cleveland Browns, but it seems like the 26-year-old Pro Bowler welcomed the move.

Beckham recently discussed his move with Complex and told the magazine that he felt he couldn’t reach his “full potential” with the Giants.

“I just felt with the Giants I was just stuck at a place that wasn’t working for me anymore,” – said Beckham. “I felt like I wasn’t going to be able to reach my full potential there. Mentally, physically, spiritually, everything I felt capable of doing, I just couldn’t see it happening there. So I think allowing me to be in an environment where I can be myself and give it a different approach, I feel like my football will benefit. I’m just excited about being able to play football again and not have to deal with all the other stuff and politics that came with my previous role.”

Odell Beckham established himself as one of the best WRs in football during his time in the NFL, but his talent was overshadowed by troubling behavior. Giants were initially ready to look past this, giving him a five-year, $95 million contract extension in 2018, but continued to listen to offers for him.

Several teams were interested in his services, but Browns had the best offer and ended up winning Beckham sweepstake with a package revolving around No.17 pick in 2019 NFL Draft and safety Jabrill Peppers.

In his five years in New York, Beckham managed to rack up 390 receptions for 5,476 yards and 44 touchdowns. His career highlights include NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award, three Pro Bowl selections, and two Second-team All-Pro honors.

New England Patriots are a golden standard in the NFL in terms of winning and Cleveland Browns’ new acquisition Odell Beckham Jr. knows that. This is why he made it his goal to bring the Browns multiple championships and make them the new Patriots.

“I plan on being there for the next five years and trying to bring as many championships there as possible, turning [the Browns] into the new Patriots.” – Beckham recently told the GQ magazine.

Beckham also shared his thoughts on Cleveland’s quarterback Baker Mayfield, saying that he has the potential to be the best QB in the league.

“I would say he’s next, but I feel like he’s now” – he added. “He’s Brett Favre—he’s going to be a Hall of Famer.”

Odell Beckham Jr. landed in Cleveland from New York Giants in a blockbuster trade that saw Jabrill Peppers, first round pick (17th overall) and third-round pick (95th overall) heading in the opposite way. Beckham ended the 2018 season with 77 receptions for 1,052 yards and six touchdowns in 12 games he played.

While Cleveland Browns are far from being New Patriots, there is definitely a reason for their fans to be optimistic about the future. Besides Beckham and Mayfield, Browns have several other talented and young players, including defensive end Myles Garrett, wide receiver Jarvis Landry and cornerback Denzel Ward. This group is expected to lead Cleveland to the franchise’s first playoff appearance since 2002 and end the NFL longest playoff drought.

Cleveland Browns shocked the league a few weeks ago when they managed to trade for New York Giants’ superstar wideout Odell Beckham jr.. But, as it turns out, they were not the only team trying to get the 26-year-old Pro Bowler as San Francisco 49ers tried to get in on the fun as well.

The 49ers general manager John Lynch recently talked with KNBR about his team’s efforts to get Beckham and revealed that the trade failed because Giants demanded San Francisco’s No.2 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.

“I think, ironically, the fact that we had the No. 2 pick made it more difficult because they wanted that badly,” – said Lynch. “They wanted two No. 1s. And we weren’t willing to part with that. It was too valuable of a pick.”

Lynch’s comments were also backed by the 49ers’ owner Jed York, who said that the organization didn’t think they are getting enough in return for such a high pick in the draft.

“We were definitely in it,” – said York. “We were aggressive. But I think (the Giants) wanted different things than we had to offer. I think it would have been very hard for us to just give up a first-round pick and not get a ton in return, other than just the player, knowing that the second pick in the draft is a very, very valuable pick.”

According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, San Francisco 49ers did offer the Giants an opportunity to swap No.2 pick for their No.6 pick as part of the Odell Beckham trade but the two sides couldn’t agree on the rest of the package.

Cleveland Browns ended up using this to get Beckham by offering package that included 2019 first-round pick (17th overall) and the 2019 third-round selection (95th overall) alongside safety Jabrill Peppers.

Cleveland Browns have been a laughingstock of NFL for years, but it seems that will end in 2019. Browns managed to pull off the biggest trade of the offseason having acquired Pro Bowl wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. from New York Giants.

According to ESPN‘s Adam Schefter, Giants will receive Cleveland’s first-round pick in 2019 (No. 17 overall) alongside their second third-round pick in 2019 (95th overall) and talented safety Jabrill Peppers.

After the Giants signed Odell Beckham Jr. to a five-year, $98.5 million deal in 2018, making him the highest paid receiver in the league, it seemed like the 26-year-old will remain in New York for years to come. But after the Giants had a disastrous last season and Beckham got involved in few incidents, the breakup between two sides wasn’t off the table.

Giants reportedly didn’t shop Beckham but have decided to listen to offers, and the one that came from Cleveland was enough to convince them it is time to move on from their wide receiver.

Browns, on the other hand, have already a Pro Bowl WR on their roster in Jarvis Landry but were actively looking for another option in the recent weeks. With Odell Beckham Jr., who already played with Landry at LSU, they formed a best wide receivers duo in the league which could propel them to their first playoff appearance since 2002.

Following a troublesome and injury-riddled season in 2017, Beckham had a strong run in 2018 recording 77 receptions for 1,052 yards and six touchdowns. His NFL career stats include 390 caught passes for 5,476 yards and 44 touchdowns.
