Odell Beckham Jr. clears waivers: Packers, Seahawks among 10 potential landing spots for free-agent receiver

For more than a year, talk of Odell Beckham’s miscasting in Cleveland was never actually acknowledged by either the team or the star wide receiver. Now? The Cleveland Browns released the three-time Pro Bowl receiver, and on Tuesday he cleared waivers. 

Baker Mayfield and coach Kevin Stefanski had long supported Beckham’s presence on the team, but with the latter now voicing displeasure behind closed doors — and, apparently, through ancillary sources like his father, or Cleveland sports legend LeBron James — his days in a Browns uniform are through.

With that in mind, where could Beckham end up now that he has cleared waivers and is a free agent? Here are some potential landing spots:

Beckham doesn’t necessarily feel like a culture fit here, but at 3-5, with T.Y. Hilton perpetually banged up, they could really use another weapon for Carson Wentz as they try to stay alive in the AFC South. As long as Wentz is under center, their focus will be to win now. And OBJ would get his fair share of targets opposite Michael Pittman

How spicy would this be? Dallas doesn’t need WR help, with Dak Prescott comfortably in the MVP conversation thanks to help from CeeDee Lamb and Amari Cooper. OBJ also wouldn’t necessarily get an abundance of work in such a crowded room. But Michael Gallup has been banged up, and Jerry Jones could view this like an Antonio Brown-to-the-Buccaneers kind of move: a luxury addition to a Super Bowl-caliber lineup. As for Odell, what could be better than getting the America’s Team stage before a potential return to free agency, and maybe getting another shot at the Giants along the way?
