The Cleveland Browns are releasing Odell Beckham. Beckham now heads to waivers. The release comes about as OBJ and the team agreed to a reworked contract.
Beckham’s father shared a video showing Beckham open on routes but quarterback Baker Mayfield not throwing his direction. Cleveland attempted to trade Beckham ahead of Tuesday’s deadline but couldn’t cultivate a deal before the window closed.
In 29 games, Beckham caught 114 of 210 targets for 1,586 yards and seven touchdowns over two and a half seasons. In six games in 2021, OBJ caught 17 of 34 targets for 232 yards and hasn’t scored. In Sunday’s loss to Pittsburgh, Beckham had one reception for 6 yards, the fewest in a full game for his career.
Sources: The #Browns are releasing star WR Odell Beckham Jr., as the two sides came together on a resolution to end his Cleveland tenure. At long last, he’s out and he’ll head to waivers.

Once the Browns finalize the reworked Odell Beckham Jr. contract, they will release him and he will go on waivers, where other teams will have the opportunity to claim him.
But the Browns and OBJ’s time together is coming to a rapid end.
