After weeks of consternation, the Cleveland Browns officially released wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
So, rather than speculating on where he’ll sign, as we’d typically do, we now have to weigh which teams, from worst to best, will try and claim OBJ.
OBJ can’t choose where he ends up unless he clears waivers, which seems highly unlikely, but he could become a problem for a team picking him if he’s not happy with the landing spot.
The worst team will have a chance, and if they pass the second worst team will have an opportunity, and so on.
In order for the Bengals to make a playoff run they need depth at the position, and a motivated OBJ could be the difference between a one-win out in the postseason, and potentially making a deeper run.
The lazy answer is to say “LSU to New Orleans, makes sense!” However, the season-ending injury to Michael Thomas means the Saints are in DIRE need of a receiver.
We know this team is potent on offense, with a very real chance they could make the playoffs.
A favorite rumored destination, the team DEFINITELY needs another receiver.
