Browns to release former Giants star Odell Beckham Jr.

After 2.5 seasons and 29 total games in which he was active, the Odell Beckham-Cleveland Browns marriage has ended in divorce.

The Browns announced Friday they will be releasing the wide receiver ahead of their Week 9 matchup. Cleveland originally traded 2019 first- and third-round picks along with safety Jabrill Peppers to the Giants for OBJ back in March of that year. The Giants used said selections to draft defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence (first round) and edge rusher Oshane Ximines (third round).
