Report: 'Very real possibility' Beckham played final game with Browns
The Odell Beckham Jr. rumors continue to swirl.
Beckham suffered a torn ACL last Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, and there's a "very real possibility" the wide receiver played his final game with the Cleveland Browns, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Due to the star wideout's contract, Cleveland won't cut him at the start of the new league year. The 27-year-old is owed $12 million in fully guaranteed money in March and is unlikely to be dealt at that time, as he'll still be recovering from the knee injury.
If the Browns opt to trade Beckham in 2021, it wouldn't be until the spring or summer, Rapoport reports.
Beckham has never fully embraced Cleveland or playing with quarterback Baker Mayfield, according to Rapoport. The receiver has repeatedly denied rumors of his displeasure with the Browns since being traded from the New York Giants in March 2019.
The three-time Pro Bowler racked up 319 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 23 catches through seven games this season. It's the second time an injury ended Beckham's season prematurely.
