Odell Beckham Jr. may want to step out on the field again for the Cleveland Browns, but the franchise appears to be ready to move on from him.
Beckham Jr. remained with the Browns following the NFL trade deadline, and things have gotten bad ever since.
The star wide receiver had an excused absence at practice on Wednesday, and head coach Kevin Stefanski reportedly informed his players that Beckham was essentially off the team. The very next day, he was excused from practice again.
“Odell Beckham will be excused from practice again today, source says. We’ll see where this goes but talks continue,” he reports.
Mary Kay Cabot says league sources have told her it’s likely that Beckham has played his final snap for the Browns, and his agent and GM Andrew Berry are discussing an exit right now.
It’s very obvious at this point that he will be released. If cut, Beckham would go on waivers. Any team that wishes to claim him would be responsible for about $8 million in remaining compensation in 2021.

If he clears waivers, his salary would remain on Cleveland’s books for 2021.
After he caught just one pass for six yards in Week 8, Beckham’s father took to Instagram and posted an 11-minute clip of all the times Browns QB Baker Mayfield has either missed or not thrown to an open Beckham.
In 2021, Beckham has appeared in six games for the Browns and caught 17 of 34 targets for 232 yards receiving and no touchdowns.
