NFL World Reacts To Saturday’s Odell Beckham Jr. News

It was announced on Saturday that wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. gave up 20 percent of his guaranteed salary to leave the Cleveland Browns. That means the Browns will only owe Beckham $4.25 million if he clears waivers.

“Odell Beckham agrees not to seek termination pay,” NFL Network Ian Rapoport said. “He gets his wish to be released after the Browns could not trade him and the team gets cap and cash relief for a player who wanted out. Beckham likely gets to choose his next destination beginning Tuesday.”

If Beckham completely reworked his deal to the point where there wouldn’t be any guarantees, it would’ve increased his chances of being claimed off waivers. While that can still happen, the odds of him being claimed have significantly lowered due to this decision.

Beckham’s list of suitors would expand if he becomes a free agent. It would also give contending teams a chance to spend minimal money on an elite talent.

When the news broke that Beckham will not seek termination pay, several Los Angeles Rams fans expressed their desire to land the talented wideout.

“Look for Odell Beckham Jr. to clear waivers and sign with a team next Tuesday,” Ramblin’ Fan tweeted. “That could be the LA Rams, folks.”
