After it being rumored for the better part of the last week it finally happened. The Cleveland Browns released Odell Beckham Jr and now he is subject to waivers.
The interesting next move is to see which NFL team will claim the talented wide receiver. It was a wild move to see him released on his 29th birthday but the NFL is a business and that his how these things can go. OBJ should have no shortage of suitors.
It didn’t take long for social media, and more specifically Twitter long to weigh in on the Beckham Jr situation in Cleveland. Former Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith weighed in on Baker Mayfield. Plus fans clamoring for their favorite team to claim the former LSU Tiger.

If the Browns restructure OBJ’s contract in a way that reduces his base salary to near the minimum, here’s a look at the NFL teams that should consider claiming him on waivers. pic.twitter.com/xpMe4AXQX1

It would be wild if Odell Beckham went from Baker Mayfield's Browns to Jared Goff's Lions or Urban Meyer's Jaguars.
There's a chance OBJ's situation gets worse?

Always have been a advocate for OBJ. Would love to build a team with a guy like him. He and the #Browns just need to handle business and part ways. No drama. No social media posts. Just get it worked out so he can play elsewhere…like with the #Saints 🤔 #WhoDatNation
