Odell Beckham Jr. has a new NFL home. The Los Angeles Rams have agreed to terms with the former Cleveland Browns wide receiver after Beckham cleared waivers and became a free agent for the first time in his career.
According to a source, Beckham was choosing between the Packers and Rams before deciding on the Rams on Thursday. Other teams that remained in on Beckham on Wednesday included the Patriots, Saints, Chiefs and Seahawks, according to The Athletic’s Jeff Howe.
The Browns released Beckham, 29, last Friday after a chain of events causing a rift between the receiver and the franchise.
Last week, Beckham's father posted a video on social media highlighting times when Mayfield didn't throw the ball to Beckham when he was open. Odell Beckham Sr. then responded with three green checkmarks in the comments section of a post that said Mayfield was "either hating on Odell or he just doesn't want him shining." Beckham had one catch for six yards during a 15-10 loss in Week 8 to the Steelers, which dropped the team to 4-4 on the season.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski told his players prior to last Wednesday's practice that Beckham was not a part of the team at that time, a source confirmed to The Athletic. Beckham did not practice last Wednesday or Thursday for what the team listed as a "shoulder/non-injury" matter.
The Browns released Beckham last Friday, and beat the Bengals convincingly in Week 9.
Beckham was traded by the Giants in 2019 and his three-year run in Cleveland began with so much promise — he had a 1,035-yard season in his first year there. But following a season-ending ACL injury in Week 7 last year, Beckham was close to a non-factor in the Browns offense in 2021, catching just 17 passes for 232 yards in six starts.
Since entering the league as a first-round pick of the Giants in 2014, Beckham ranks 17th in receptions (504), 10th in receiving yards (7,210) and seventh in receiving touchdowns (51).
