Trade
In March 2019, the New York Giants traded Odell Beckham to the Cleveland Browns. In return, the Giants received first- and third-round picks in the 2019 NFL Draft along with safety Jabril Peppers.
It may be hard to remember now, but the immediate reaction was heavily leaned in one direction: Legendary general manager Dave Gettleman screwed up. The Browns have found the star receiver of their dreams, Beckham. End of story
Funny how many years attitudes can change.
Gettleman was bullied for what he got in the deal and business. Just a few weeks ago, when asked about the Beckham trade speculation, Gettleman said: “We didn’t sign him to trade.” Beckham’s five-year, $90 million deal was struck less than seven months ago.
Semantics aside, Gettleman was being dishonest. Yep, of course they didn’t sign him to trade. In August 2018, he signed Beckham to keep him. But before March, Beckham had done enough — or not enough, depending on your point of view — to convince the Giants that he had made a mistake with that detail.
So the context of the trade, if you the Giants were wearing royal-blue glasses at the time, was that the team couldn’t get much more in return for Beckham because of the contract. Part of that exchanged value was the idea that Cleveland had inherited a lot of money on a deal that Brown did not broker.
49ers
The 49ers have featured in discussions about which team can take down wide receiver Odell Beckham to help with the playoff push.
There’s nothing wrong with stockpiling as much talent as possible in playoff-caliber teams to assist with the Super Bowl push.
And while the San Francisco 49ers sit only 3-2 after five weeks, a seemingly crumbling NFC West indicates they have an equally good shot at winning the division and scoring another deep run in the postseason. Is.
Maybe they’ll look for some more NFL free agency help along the way.
Up to this point, most unsigned players are of the proverbial “scrap heap” kind. Not so with veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., however, who is reportedly awaiting his options in the wake of helping the Niners’ NFC West division rivals, the Los Angeles Rams, recover from a torn ACL. Receive the Lombardi Trophy last February.
Rumors
It looks like Odell Beckham Jr. may have a landing spot soon, and it looks like the AFC club is one of the frontrunners to receive his services.
KPRC 2 Houston’s Aaron Wilson reports that the Chiefs are seen as a “strong contender” for Beckham’s services.
Wilson also said that Beckham was making “steady progress” in recovering from a torn ACL.
Wilson’s report comes in the wake of some notable ties between the Beckhams and the Chiefs. First, Travis Kelce said on his podcast that he would like the team to sign the free agent receiver.
Who signed
Last year, Beckham had a similar free-agency position in the middle of the season, when the Browns released him after a trade deadline. The veteran signed with the Rams on November 11, 2021, and he debuted four days later with Los Angeles.
With this season’s trade deadline on November 1, Beckham could be drawing attention as the last significant roster upgrade available before the playoffs.
