Report: Odell Beckham Jr. Released by Browns, Will Be Placed on Waivers

The Cleveland Browns are releasing wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. after he wasn't moved ahead of the 2021 NFL trade deadline, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported on Friday.

Beckham will be placed on waivers as a result.

Beckham's hyped arrival in Cleveland after a March 2019 trade from the New York Giants resulted in a tenure that lasted just two-plus seasons.

The 29-year-old LSU product was expected to become a cornerstone of the Browns' rebuilt offense, but he struggled to make a high-end impact. He ends his time in Cleveland with 114 catches for 1,586 yards and seven touchdowns in 29 games.
