Odell Beckham Jr. trade talk is starting to heat up. The New York Giants receiver is again being discussed in trade talks, and now we have a new update. The Cleveland Browns, Oakland Raiders, and San Francisco 49ers are the teams “most connected” to Beckham at the moment, according to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports.
Beckham signed a mega-extension last summer that seemed to put to rest any rumors that he might be traded, but he didn't exactly help that cause this season.
The star receiver once again courted drama, and publicly questioned his coaching staff and quarterback Eli Manning. His off-field antics enraged the staff and front office, potentially landing him on the trade block once again. A bunch of teams will be interested if Beckham truly is available, but there are apparently a few frontrunners.
The Raiders have been heavily connected to Antonio Brown in recent days, so it's not surprising that they're interested. The internet has been buzzing all day about Beckham to the Browns, so they would make sense as well. The 49ers are another intriguing option, as they could use a true number one receiver.
All three teams have plenty of cap space, so Beckham's salary won't be an issue like it would be with most other clubs. They started off as whispers, but the murmurs are growing louder and louder, and it sounds like Beckham might really be being shopped, despite what the Giants have said on the matter. If he does end up getting traded, it would be a shocking turn of events after he signed a record-setting deal less than a year ago.
The Browns, Raiders, and 49ers also have plenty of draft assets, so they all have the ammo to get a deal done. Beckham just turned 26 and is still entering his prime, so he'll likely face a nice package and a lot more than the Steelers are asking for Brown. Stay tuned, as we'll know a lot more about this situation soon.
