The NFL world is awaiting to see where star wideout Odell Beckham Jr. will land after he was released by the Cleveland Browns and went unclaimed on waivers. According to a new report, he's looking to team up with Aaron Rodgers.
On Tuesday afternoon, Jordan Schultz reported that Beckham has "prioritized" the Green Bay Packers as his top destination should he clear waivers, which he then did. The 7-2 Packers would make a lot of sense for the three-time Pro Bowler. While Green Bay has an All-Pro wideout in Davante Adams, the wide receiving corps could be improved. The 31-year-old Randall Cobb is the Packers' No. 2 receiver with 20 catches for 244 yards and four touchdowns. Green Bay also lost its No. 1 tight end, Robert Tonyan, to a torn ACL two weeks ago.
After a disappointing tenure in Cleveland, it remains to be seen if the 29-year-old Beckham is still one of the best pass-catchers in the NFL. He recorded just 17 catches for 232 yards and zero touchdowns in six games for the Browns this season, and averaged just 45.6 receiving yards per game in seven total contests last year before suffering a torn ACL. Either way, Beckham at the very least is an incredibly talented No. 2, and someone who could help the Packers in their pursuit of a Super Bowl.
