Browns release wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
November 6, 2021

Most of the time people receive a genuine, neat gift on their birthday. That was not the case this year for wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. of Salem, New Jersey. The news he got on Friday was equivalent to receiving a lump of coal.
That is because Beckham Jr. was released by the Cleveland Browns according to the Athletic. One of the reasons for the release was the “dissolved relationship” between Beckham Jr. and Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield.
So far this season, Beckham Jr. has 17 catches for 232 yards. There is no question he has been a fantasy bust if you were the ones to have taken a chance on him in the later rounds in your fantasy football pool. Despite having 51 career receiving touchdowns in his career, Beckham Jr. has not found the end zone once this season. His 232 receiving yards was second on the Browns, only behind tight end David Njoku, who had 323 receiving yards.
In his career, Beckham Jr. has spent five seasons with the New York Giants and three seasons with the Browns. He has 504 catches for 7062 yards.
In Beckham Jr’s first three National Football League seasons, he was outstanding. He went to the Pro Bowl each season, leading the NFL with 108.8 yards per game in 2014, and 13.5 yards per touch in 2016. However, over the last five seasons, Beckham Jr. has not reached the Pro Bowl, despite reaching 1052 yards with the Giants in 2018, and 1035 yards with the Browns in 2019.
One team that could show interest in Beckham Jr. is the Las Vegas Raiders. Don’t forget, the Raiders just released their top receiver, Henry Ruggs III, after he killed a woman in a car crash this week, when he was driving intoxicated.Â
