The Cleveland Browns were next in line to make the headlines this offseason with a blockbuster trade for New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
In exchange for the superstar wideout, Cleveland will send its first and third-round pick in this year's NFL Draft to New York, with the first-round pick being the 17th-overall pick on the board. The trade package also includes safety Jabrill Peppers in the deal.
Browns fans and players alike have expressed their joy on social media upon learning the news of OBJ's signing. Beckham's partner in Cleveland's receiving corps, Jarvis Landry, was so thrilled that he shared not one, but two Instagram posts welcoming his new teammate:

If there's one phrase worth describing Landry's Instagram posts about Beckham's move to Cleveland, it's got to be “bless 'em.”
The Browns' tandem of Landry and Beckham spells in the receiving game spells doom for the rest of the league. The duo has a combined seven Pro Bowl selections between them, and they both have contrasting skill sets that'll surely help second-year quarterback Baker Mayfield take his development into a new level.
Landry is more known as a possession receiver with reliable hands like no other. Meanwhile, Beckham has top-notch speed along with a great pair of hands to boot that would further expand Cleveland's playbook in the passing game.
Throw in the signing of running back Kareem Hunt into the equation as well, and the Browns really do make a strong case at making the playoffs for the first time since 2002.
