Raiders:
The waiver priority order will change some after Week’s 9 play, however, as the Raiders play at the 2-6 New York Giants on Sunday.
Many league observers believe Beckham will be claimed rather than going unclaimed and to free agency, which was the case of fellow receiver DeSean Jackson who went unclaimed Thursday after being waived by the Los Angeles Rams. He is now a free agent and he could also be of interest to the Raiders.
Released:
Beckham’s remaining $7.25 million salary must be absorbed by a claiming team, which would greatly diminish the amount of teams willing or able to make a waiver claim. If Beckham goes unclaimed, he will become a free agent on Tuesday and can sign with any team for the veteran minimum.
Cleveland announced on Friday that they would would release Beckham, who was excused from practice all week. The two sides have been negotiating to turn his remaining salary into a base salary.
