Odell Beckham Jr is finalizing a deal with the Los Angeles Rams, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The free-agent wide receiver will join a high-powered offense led by quarterback Matthew Stafford and add to a depth chart at the receiver position that already includes Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods and Van Jefferson.
Beckham became a free agent when he cleared waivers on Tuesday after being released by the Cleveland Browns.
In Los Angeles, Beckham essentially replaces veteran wide receiver DeSean Jackson, who was released after the trading deadline last week. Jackson signed with the Las Vegas Raiders this week.
The Browns excused Beckham from practice last week while the sides negotiated his exit. He asked to be traded and never developed an on-field connection with Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield, and Beckham essentially forced his release last week when his father shared an 11-minute video on social media — hours before the trade deadline — of plays in which Mayfield didn’t pass him the ball.
The three-time Pro Bowl selection has 17 catches for 232 yards and zero touchdowns in six games this season.
The Rams (7-2) play the San Francisco 49ers (3-5) this week on Monday night.
